Thank you both for your kind words!

Unfortunately I have not been able to submit my OINP application yet. I really want to move to Toronto and need that provincial nomination. I was about to register and submit on July 25, when they closed off the HCP stream. I have been waiting every day since then for OINP to reopen so I can submit my documents. I would be beating myself up every day for missing the deadline by a day, but then I think about others in my same boat, including my comrade @sundar17feb99 who missed it by an hour, and feel more calm.

I have always been the type to fight tooth and nail to make something happen when I set my mind to it. Being up there in age is a difficult obstacle to overcome, as my only options to increase my CRS enough to get ITA are provincial nomination or job offer with LMIA. Those of us in our 40s lose 11 points per birthday, unlike you 30 somethings who lose only 5 or 6, so my OINP opportunity is also not secure. If OINP does not reopen by the time my NOI expires in January, I will be without NOI and under 400 CRS on my birthday in February. Thus I am also studying French in hopes that I can do enough even to get another CRS point to bring me back to 400+.

I cannot believe that I am in my 40s, as I really am a 20 year old who just happens to have been 20 for the past 20+ years! I look, act and feel like a 20 something and don't think I'll ever grow up mentally or emotionally. However, I can't keep feeling too bad about being older, as my fellow American @tjsecondtry is even older. @Fishal2017 I think you're confusing me with @tjsecondtry who is going so far as attending university in Canada to increase her CRS! If I don't get ITA by the end of 2018, I might have to do the same ... but come hell or high water, I will be joining you all in Canada!
You are an amazing guy and i wish Canada had a stream EE - AHC Stream
towards amazing human capital
I guess that'll contribute equally,if not more to the country alongside other streams...
Canada will need compassionate , inspiring & spirited cheerful individuals among the hundreds of professionals they bring in...and a bit of inspiration ,compassion , humour etc can add a lot more to the community than some self centred retard guys who looks down upon others..
All the best to you mate...you'll make it and will have your happy years in Toronto :)

Thank you both for your kind words!
That's a wise words which oozes straight from your soul comrade.
Our success is not stopped; just delayed. Now, am not being irrational,
  • There is a high chance that ONIP will re-open by october or at the least by the end of this year.
  • Suppose,if it hasn't been opened by this year, the quotas would be replenished and will be effective from Jan2018 and since you already have NOI which is valid till Jan2018 you will soon register at the moment they open the gates.
Needless to say, your determination and tenacity will only aids you during the entire process which is also a vital ingredient to attain success in Canada.

Did you get Notification of Interest from Ontario in your federal EE profile? When? And are you very proficient in French and took TEF, or are you under skilled trades stream?

Hi everyone. How do self employed folks get reference letter? For example, my wife is a self-employed baker with over 5 years experience. It will be wise to make her PA but how about reference from employer? Your thoughts please.

Hello Friends,

I have a question. In EE profile my wife is primary applicant and her brother has Canada PR. So under dependent profile ( which is mine) what should I mention under the question 'Relative in Canada' as there is no brother in law option. Should I select yes and mention Brother or select no relative in Canada.

Thanks a lot in advance.
