Hi,

This is the first time my employer applied for pre-screen approval. Location GTA and NOC 1221.

Please feel free to provide any suggestions regarding the PNP application. Thanks

Do you happen to know which OINP team was handling your employer's application? Team 3 is handling my employer's application from what the operator had told me.

It should say in most correspondence when they contacted your company. The email should be oinp.teamX@ontario.ca

My Employer Pre-Screen app was sent in November 2015 and I'm still waiting for approval. @moelaghil, my application is also being handled by team 3. It seems this the slowest team there. In April they replied to an email saying my application was in the last stage and there are no updates since then.

That's very frustrating. My employer tried to submit the application in November 2015. The package got delivered on November 27th but OINP returned the application saying they are closed for the year. They suggested applying January 3rd 2016 so my employer sent it in on January 4th.

I called in today and managed to get someone on the phone. He asked me to send him an email and waited on the phone till he received it. He said he'll get back to me soon and that I shouldn't contact them for another 4 weeks. :'(

My MP contacted OINP as a follow up today. I was surprised on how pro-active the MP is

This is the email I received:

"
I have looked into the status of the file with the Minister's office and the application for COMPANY NAME is currently pending assessment. OINP will contact your employer if any additional information is required.

They did however advise that they anticipate that the program should have a decision on this application by early to mid-December.

At least we have a time frame!

I hope this helps!
"

So the wait continues for at least another month. @Mafelicos this probably means you'll be hearing back in the next couple of weeks. Please keep me posted!

@moelaghil Thanks for the update on your status. All my fingers are crossed to get an answer before the end of the year. As soon as I hear something I'll post on this thread.

Hey to everybody! Just a bit of my story:

My employer applied Pre Screen Application in April 2015
We got approval of our Pre Screen in November 4, 2016 ( yeah I am not joking it`s been 1 year and 6 months almost. He got an e-mail that it is approved)
My question is When will we receive the original Pre Screen Approval Letter by mail , because I need Original to send to OINP?

Regards,

I had few questions, open to all

1) If i mention work experience from back home, do i need reference letter to support that? I will be visiting my country so i can get that but i wanted to apply before i leave.

2) What happens if i change the job after i apply ?

3) How long does it take on average for the nomination ?

My current status: Pre-screen approved (took 9 months), still preparing the PNP application.

Thanks

Hi bro, whats the status of your application?

 

[gowthamp]

1) If i mention work experience from back home, do i need reference letter to support that? I will be visiting my country so i can get that but i wanted to apply before i leave.
You have to provide reference letters for all the experiences mentioned. If you are not able to provide reference, it is recommended to include in personal history rather than Work history.

2) What happens if i change the job after i apply ?
I am not sure about this, but sometime before issuing Nomination there is a chance for OINP officer to call you and inquire about job roles and responsibilities. They asked some people(Human Capital priorities stream persons) to provide Pay stubs and Lease document. Employer have rights to revoke the application if they want.
In case if you are required to get Bridge work permit, you have to be with the same employer who sponsored your application, as people are getting closed work permit.

3) How long does it take on average for the nomination ?
After Pre-screen approval, people are getting nomination in around 4-5 months, which is less than other PNP applicants timeline.

Hello everyone,

My employer pre screening is approved and I am going to apply for nomination under international student with job offer. I have issue with passport.

1. it must be valid for at-least two year ? my passport is expire in oct 2017.

2. I am not able to submit my passport right now because deadline for nomination application is 26 dec 2016. and as it would take at-least 2 month for renewal.

what should i do ?

I appreciate your suggestion.

thank you

Hey Champ,

In the email address that they used to contact your employer it should say the team number. Do you mind posting on here which oinp team is handling your case? I'm hoping it's not team 3 because that's the team handling my employer's pre-screening.

My Suggestion would be to renew the passport and apply, you could try the express/rush option if there is any for the passport renewal.

Good luck brother
