I'm at 489 CRS. Rejected Tech draw NOI in December because I was sure that at 489 I would get FSW so I wanted to skip OINP's 6-8 months time plus $1500 fees. Missed the last FSW draw because of tie breaker rule. And since December didn't get NOI in the 2 tech draws since (even the one from 2-3 days ago). Googled yesterday and found out that I had to create a new profile to get selected by OINP again. If only I knew this 3 days ago. OINP has conducted tech draw in Feb and March but idk if it'll do one in April as well and then if the CRS range will be at 489 or not. Can someone please tell me if I'm doomed?
Are u sure? I have seen people getting selected by oinp for second time
Once in 2nd Feb

Who knows!

The story of declining and winning or losing are plentiful here.

People with 450 CRS in 2018 declining ITAs thought they'd get it in next draw. 2019 was a shock to them.
People with 460-70s in 2020 thought the same. Twitter is full of their "plight" now.

Don't know if you are FSW-O or CEC. Depending upon what you are, C-19's quota reduction from general EE draws could either help or annoy you.

At the end, increasing CRS with French and LMIA job is an option too. As long as you don't give and are working on your application, you won't be doomed. Just keep in mind that there's a unspoken "Law of Competition" in immigration. If anything's too easy and direct (e.g. shit IELTS CLB9 or a student graduate route), it will get competitive and unreliable very fast.

Rely on the hard stuff to safeguard yourself, while covering the direct and easy stuff.

French right now is super low competition. IIRC, there were only a max of 300 people in the entirety of 2022-23 EE draws who got ITAs as FSW-O through French. Many are still trying to take shortcuts while giving TEF/TCF and not taking it seriously enough. But, expect this to be a situation for the next 1-1.5 year max. After that, the "Law of Competition" will kick in and it would no longer be a path.

Okay, so my scenario is I work in a semi-government research institute doing AI/ML for cancer with the goal of publications. My job title is bioinformatics specialist, but day to day I essentially do the same thing as data scientists: visualizing data, creating ML models, data cleaning, etc for biological data. I put 41201 - Post-secondary teaching and research assistants as my NOC on my EE profile, but I feel like I can write the reference letter in such a way that it fits the 21211 - Data scientists for OINP tech draw. So, I guess there should be no issue, right?

Hello I just have a question if someone can help me for the answer. I pit my case on a mymimitracker and i want to upload it to get some exact dates and also maybe to try to help other persons. Bit they ask about IP1, NA1, IP2 and NA2.
on the tracker (AOR 15feb FSW) i have eligibility biometrics and medical COMPLETED in green. Background not started. (nothing for my partner completed just in progress because waiting for additionnel blood tests results I guess).
Which step am I regarding this ? IP1, NA1… ?

if someone might have the answer, thanks in advance.
have a good evening everyone.
