Hi Folks,

Since OINP invitations were sent to 480 people from 351 - 446 CRS we again have 480 people at the front of the queue. So assuming bimonthly draws what CRS shall we expect in the next draw definately more than 446?

Not so quickly, I'm hoping.

All 480 may not accept the NOI. Even if they do, it takes 1-3 months to get the PNP nomination. So you'll not see an immediate spike in scores. The March draw showed high intake at higher scores because lots of people got OINP PNP nominations by then, while the actual OINP draw happened in January this year.

So, if any draw in June has a 3 week wait time, expect the CRS to shoot up to high 450s again.

FYI....there are no NOC's for HCP stream this year for OINP. I guess there were some NOC last year for the target ICT NOC's for which OINP even issued NOI for lesser than 400 CRS score on July but in general all NOC's are applicable for getting NOI that are above 400 CRS under HCP stream...hope all is clear

Search the forum please.

 

[Johnny Ghaddar]

sitting at 441..Do u guys think there is any chance...OINP INVITATION EXPIRING IN April

You are looking at an ITA in the next week or so...

 

[Johnny Ghaddar]

I would suggest otherwise as I am in a similar situation. If its gonna drop down to 441 it will eventually drop down to 438 and a CLB 10 is not a guarantee every time. In case you are not willing to wait it out the go for OPNP and play it safe.

Hi Guys,

Sorry for the noob question but I just thought I'd get some quick info from reliable folks here.

I see that my chances to get an ITA a re dwindling by the day seeing that I currently stand at an undesirable 433. So I'd like to go ahead with the PNPs. Especially Ontario PNP as that seems to be all the rage now and Toronto seems to be a good place overall.

So, can someone please explain how to go ahead and apply for a PNP? I was under the impression that once I create an Express Entry profile, it'll automagically get forwarded to the provinces too. I thought that was the whole reason we check those provinces boxes while creating a profile. However, from my recent communication with an immigration consultancy here, I came to know that it's an entirely different process and that we need to file our nomination explicitly. They said I stand a good chance with my score and that OINP is almost guaranteed. They charge 60k INR for the same. So I thought I'd come here and get to know the low-down on how it's done so I could probably get it done myself without paying a consultancy.

Thanks for reading. Sorry for the long post. Awaiting responses.

1. For OINP you'll get a NOI from Ontario, only then you can apply on their site. If you satisfy the criteria under which they're looking, you'll get an NOI. To get an NOI preferably your profile must have been created this year (going by the trend).
2. Not sure if your consultant saying 60k INR is for the application or for just filling the form. The fees are 1500 CAD. Filling the application form and uploading documents is free of cost.

Ontario select some profiles from EE based on job noc and connections to ontario. Then they send NOI(notice of interest) to selected candidates and only then you can apply for OINP.

Its never guaranteed that you will get NOI but this is ray of hope and 433 is not bad for NOI if your job is IT related.

and other friends in ROH

As promised here are my scores from the TEF exam for an illustration of what could be expected.
Reading - C1 - CLB 9 - 6 points;
Listening - C1 - CLB 8 - 3 points;
Writing - B2 - CLB 6 - 1 point;
Speaking - B1 - CLB 5 - 1 point.

In total, I've received 11 points and since this effort lasted more than a year (15 months) I've already lost 5 points due to my age. Still, I think it was worthy for the extra 6 points earned. Unfortunately, I failed to get the bonus.

Some analysis for those who are interested in getting some points on French exams:
1. The 30 points bonus is all that matters and you get it only if none of the skills is less than CLB 7. As you can see I've made a mistake in my preparation for the exam. Some skills are too high while others lag behind.
2. I agree that it is possible to speed up on learning process if you take courses or have somebody to communicate with you in French.
3. Even though you study alone by yourself you WILL eventually get a bunch of points. My case proves what you can do that because I'm not gifted for languages. I was just an average Joe at school or college in that field. BUT... you will have to spend at least an hour or two every day.
4. I doesn't take years to learn a new language if you have motivation and persevere in it.

Well done mate. your work is truly inspiring and enlightening. did you achieve that just via self-study?

CIC Employees were clearly seeing all the predictions on this forum and thought they should show everybody no-one can predict what they're going to do.

and my hunch is "that CIC employee" is the sole creator of multiple ROH threads

Too many conspiracy theories

Hey everyone… I am new to this thread and forum. An ITA seems very unlikely with my CRS score. I have maxed out the IELTS and my wife also has high scores. I just had a basic question:
IF I were to do a full time 1-yr PG Diploma (say from Douglas College), how much will it help my CRS score? Since I already hold a WES verified 3-yr Indian bachelor degree, I will select the ‘Two of more degree/diploma’ option, adding 32 points (which alone I believe won’t be worth much considering I would have lost 10 points by then basis age). However, the next question ‘Do you have a Canadian Education’, against which I will select the option ‘One-year post graduate Diploma/Certificate’, which adds 15 more points, would bring my CRS score to a hopeful 450.
Do you guys think it will be worth doing? I am already leaning towards going ahead with studying, but would really love your experienced opinions.
Sorry if this is too lame to ask
Thanks.
