Hi all, I was tracking and considering the OINP masters program quite seriously but recently I saw an updated scoring grid on their page:
https://www.ontario.ca/page/register-expression-interest-ontario-immigrant-nominee-program
Now it looks like Canadian Education will only get you points if you've done at least a 2yr length course.. so no more 1yr Masters for OINP then?
Earlier there was no duration clause on the Canadian education points in that grid.. (I wish I had a screenshot of it)
In that case getting the 35 pts (the latest round cutoff) is almost impossible for me till I get a job post Masters and complete 1yr, by then I'll be eligible for CEC itself!
Can the experts here confirm whether I'm correct in my assessment of this change?
My potential pts (If indeed I go for Masters OINP prog): 30pts
Canadian work experience: duration: 0pts
Canadian work experience: NOC skill level: 0pts
Canadian work experience: earnings history: 0pts
Field of study (Canadian credential) Arts and Humanities – 5 points
Canadian education experience
(credential must be from a Canadian public institution and be at least two years in length)
0pts
Official language ability 10pts
Knowledge of official languages 5pts
Regional immigration: location of study Outside GTA – 10 points
Thanks in advance
