Hello,
I see a lot of threads helping to go through the immigration process (thank you all) but can't find one where those who already did it just summarise their success path. (Let me know if I’m just a bit lost around the forum…)
So I make this thread with that purpose. Share with us some details about your success like:
(*keep reading for context)
I’ll tell you about my current situation for context:
Looking at the latest EE draws I see it is almost impossible to get an ITA with my present status...
So my only chance would be to get those sweet 600pts from a PNP program. As I want to live in Toronto, OINP is my target. And it would be nice to read some stories about getting into Ontario/ Canada EE with less than 430 CRS score.
Plus I’m still working aboard in a stable job/position this is the reason I asked when it is mandatory to actually go to Canada. Even if it’s only after getting everything done is there a time frame when I have to go? I have a 2 month notice period in my current contract so I’m concerned about that.
Thank you for all the help/ experience sharing!

So I make this thread with that purpose. Share with us some details about your success like:
- EE application date;
- CRS score;
- OINP application date (or was it automatic from EE pool?);
- Response times (when were you contacted for each phase);
- Approval times (when were you approved in each phase);
- What did you struggle with? / Tips to avoid it?
- When was it mandatory to go to Canada to get something done*;
- When did you finaly landed/started living in Canada;
- Any other details you’d like to share.

I’ll tell you about my current situation for context:
- I’m still gathering the required documents to apply for EE.
- I’ve requested the certificates from my university for the ECA;
- I’ll probably be taking IELTS in a month. I’ll need to score S/L/R/W - 7/8/7/7 in order to get the minimum 67pts to apply, so my CRS minimum score (418) is based on that;
- I have no French knowledge, never lived in Canada and also got no job offer.
- I’m speculating to get a CRS score between 418 and 430.
- I’m an IT Consultant/ Business Analyst (NOC 2171) which is one of the 15 NOCs in the “Ontario in-demand Occupation List 2019”. So it gets my hopes high
