Hello all! May I ask for your advice.. I haven’t started submitting anything yet. I am also getting aged and my prelim CRS is about 420. Should I not bother to do EE profile, and just target at this Employment category? Or can I do both (ie file an EE profile and at the same time enroll the OINP employment category)?
OINP - Employer Job Offer : Foreign worker stream
- Thread starter NAS29
- Start date
FYI, All the Employment categories are closed except "Employer Job Offer: In-Demand Skills". If you have job and is one of "In-Demand Skills", it's better to apply. Considering your score around 420,although if you would gain more points by IELTS, that won't be sufficient as the EE score is fluctuating abouve 450-460. This might change (decrease) by year-end if they don't achieve the nominations for the year. You can still fill EE profile, and if you can, apply for OINP. If you're on work permit and going to expire this year, then EE is your best shot. AS OINP is closed for International graduates, Foreign worker streams.
P.S: You can have both profiles, but if you get nominated you'll have to delete the other profile, for sure.
I think that depends on your NOC. This year Ontario sent NOI to Targeted Priority Occupations, Tech draws and Skilled Trades. I don't believe this year they would send more NOIs, but for sure next year they will do it.

If you filled the application along with Representative consent as "No", then that shouldn't be a problem. Again, there should not be any indication or information that you're appointing a representative in your file if the file is submitted from your account.
If you filled the application along with Representative consent as "Yes" and submitted from your account, then the application might be delayed or deemed incomplete.
If others in this group have appointed representative, they might explain better.
Thanks, good to know that. The update they have posted is a bit confusing, It says no application can be submitted as of 09/23. With that message, I understood that an application should be submitted on or before 09/23 only. Mine was submitted on 09/25.
Hoping to get the status changed to 'assessment' end of this month ( 30+ days). Is there anyone else here who has created the profile before Intake closed on 09/23 and submitted post this date?
Is it okay to have Express Entry profile whilst you are waiting on OINP? Hope there would not be conflict later.
Thanks altaf i think that's why my application delayed my representative submitted from my account.
I agree. But, when the program no more accepts the applications to be submitted after Sep 23, then you won't be able to submit after that. It is the registration/ file umber generation that you need to consider the intake closure date.
No problem. It is better to inform OINP by calling them or mailing them with proper explanation. Or else, they would consider it as incomplete or would be deemed not eligible.
Yes, you can do it both, actually it's what I did as well. but I don't think I will have any chance to get NOI unless OINP make a draw target with job offer only like they did in 2018, which the CRS score only around 350. However, you need IELTS with no less than 6 , ECA together with more than 1 years work experience in Canada, in order to create a EE profile in CIC, and it takes a quite long time to get ECA. so it's up to you whether you want to try both or just go directly with paper based.
