ON PNP-reference letter needed for verification-after PPR?

[traxton]

Guys, I hate to go against the grain but this express entry speculation makes no sense. It does not entirely rid provincial governments of their ability to sponsor candidates and PNP is not one of their primary targeted economic categories (FSW is).
It will be an eternal pain in the behind to try and merge PNP (us) with another system and I am pretty sure that would be illegal too but I speculate...

Here's some homework folks:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/express/express-entry.asp

There's a step by step break down of how express entry works (pay close attention to steps 4 and 5):

That should put the whole express entry thing to bed. Now, since we are all guessing, I will offer my guess: CIC will deal with us appropriately no matter how long and painstaking it will be. And New applicants in 2015 will get a shot at Express entry....step through which they might be 'invited to apply as PNP" haha

I agree. That is why I think the best and only option if PNP stalls till next year is to make a separate Express Entry application once it opens up. It'll be like putting two horses in a race, PNP v. Express Entry haha.

Hahaha that would make for even better odds of eventually getting the increasingly elusive PR status. Here's to hoping that express entry applications will not cost an arm and a leg :-X

Even i got the call from Ontario PNP office. asked basic 3 questions. Then i talked in very detail with the officer about what is going on. Told me that yes CIC has put applications on hold because we are doing some QA checks. He also added that some other provinces has also started this. He further added that we would see some change within two months from now.
It would be ending at some stage and i think this year would be the end of it. I am also noticing that CIC has stopped putting applications In process since september for other provinces also.

How do u know other province files are also on hold ? R u sure ? Do u know anyone ?

Got my AOR 8pm today, my application package was received by cio in late august. I think the opnp would be unfreezing now.

[kaka188]

I think this is great news there is some movement

 

[ananas]

Ontario of course.

Congratulations!!!

Though, you applied quite late compared to many people here that have not received AOR yet... It's good to hear there is movement now, but it makes you wonder how CIC is approaching the backlog from the QA
