OOPNP - Silver Lining for EE ?
- Thread starter MapleWay
- Start date
I had a quick look at the application guide. It seems you just need to sit and wait to get a Notification of Interest from OOPNP so that you can apply to their stream.
found it but its pretty vague on what specific criterias .
its pretty much the same parameters we already know under EE
i pretty much qualify on all the criteria ,work exp, clb level 7, funds, FSW grid score 67/100, ECA equivalent to a canadian bachelors, and my score is at the 400s... maybe it will boil down to the NOC we are in...
who knows ontario might just send us an invite ;D
