Count me in!! I am thrilled by the mail !!!

But there is a problem, if anyone knows please help us on:


Federal Skilled Worker Program
Under the Federal Skilled Worker Program, Your work experience must have been:
  • obtained within the last five years from the date of submitting your application to the OINP
  • in the same primary occupation as you identified in your Express Entry profile
The primary occupation that I chose (2173) was ended at Feb 19th 2016, now is Feb 16th 2021. exactly 5 years. If I am still eligible for this program??
Should I process the application within February or should be completed before the exact date (19th) ??

I am working as a product manager (NOC 0213) for nearly 3 years, before it was titled Business Analyst wrongly, so I couldn't use it as a primary occupation. Now I got the right job title, can I update my Express Entry profile to change primary occupation and still eligible for this Tech draw??

Please help me out with this issue, I really appreciate your guidance. Thanks!

Hard to say. I think you will be best advised to contact OINP directly for that.

The OINP targeted candidates with a comprehensive ranking system score between 453 and 467 and work experience in the NOC codes noted in the program update below.

You may apply to the HCP stream if you:

  • 2172 Database analysts and data administrators
  • 2173 Software engineers and designers
  • 2174 Computer programmer and interactive media developers
  • 2175 Web designers and developers
Your application may be refused if you don’t demonstrate work experience in one of the eligible NOC codes.

Here here!
So I have 60 days to accept and create a profile and 14 days after that to upload all documents?

Yes, you can.
Thank you! I updated my primary occupation.
I still have another issue, 0213 does not exactly name Product manager as a part of it. Some says it is 0213, some says 0611 ... It might be tricky to see if OINP agree with my choice of NOC or not :(

Hi all,
I am a newbie to this world. Received an email yesterday too. My question is how many days exactly do I have to complete the form with all documents?

Congratulations

i have a question. I am currently working as Sr software eng and was previously SE 3 in the same company. But in the EE profile, I have mentioned only the senior role. Do we need to mention all positions explicitly in the company?
Can I edit the EE profile now? If yes, will it effect my EOI from Ontario?

Were you able to edit your work experience details? Did it effect your EOI messgae?
