Ontario Provincial Nominee Program OPNP Applied in August 2011

[jass_virgoan]

Hi All

I applied for Ontario PNP in August and got Pre-verification in Feb, 2012 (crossed 90 days reply back period). I then sent my Nominee application on March 1st 2012. I am creating this post to share others timelines who applied for PNP during the same time just to check how the response time is going from Opportunities Ontario these days.

Lets share our timelines to help each other.

Thank you!!

they are too long for me,,,employer applied for prescreening in september but still no answer,,,did they ask your employer for any additional docs in between that span of time..?

 

[jass_virgoan]

Nope, they didnt ask any information from my employer. I dont know how long its gonna take. My work permit s gonna expire in July.

We had applied in last Feb for employer pre-screen. Only last Tuesday they told that decision has been taken and would notify us by Courier. They declined to say what the decision is. We did not get the mail so far.

How many days did it take for you? They told us 5 days but it has been more than 8 days and we did not hear anything.

Hi Pranav

My employer sent all documents on 23 August 2011 and we got positive reply back in Feb, 2012. It almost took 5 months(OMG these guys are soo slow).

And we got the letter in one week. Be patient and you will get it soon

Good Luck

Hi

I applied for OPNP in August and employee pre-verification got approved in Feb. I applied nominee application (2nd stage) in March and waiting for result. Please share your timeline.

How long does it take for 2nd Stage? Does it take three months which they have defined or it takes more than that?

Thanks

Hi Ali

they generally take 3 months but sometimes they ask for additional documents from us. In that case the processing time starts again and takes 90 days from that time. Which NOC did u apply under. I also applied for nomination in March and they asked some documents again and I sent them. Just waiting for the decision. Please keep us updated for any progress.

Thanks

hii jass,,,what additional docs were requested....whats your noc...my noc is 1221...

 

[jass_virgoan]

They asked if I have applied for new work permit as my WP is expiring in July ,2012. I have already applied for LMO through my employer (ofcourse) so I sent my LMO application. Then they asked about the passport pages including blank papers.

Also , there was some infor missing from my employer on the Joint Verification form. So, filled that and sent.

Thanks

Hi Ali

Yes, they sent an acknowledgement with file number but they requested some documents too. Did they ask you for additional docs too >? They asked me if I have applied for new work permit or not as mine is gonna expire in Jul,2012. They asked me copy of my passport including blank pages. Which NOC did you apply for ?

Thanks
