@NikSharma01 I need your thoughts, My EE profile has spouse as non-accompanying, should my OINP Application also indicate spouse as non-accompanying, I want to reside in the province with my spouse, but my score would be below the range if I add spouse as accompanying. Does OINP recalculate scores to check the score is within range for the tech draw ?

Hi,

I'm not sure whether OINP recalculates the score in such scenario. But, have seen people doing it. So, that's upto you how you wish to proceed !

Another alternative to this is, adding your spouse as accompanying after requesting OINP post the nomination and 600 pts but before/after ITA.

Okay, I think it might be best to keep it same, but also in the principal applicant declaration form it states

Any false or misleading statement with respect to this application and any supporting document, including the concealment of any material fact, may result in the refusal of this application, the revocation of a nomination, and may be grounds for prosecution under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act.

Do you know if OINP ever revoked a nomination, after the fact due to accompanying or non-accompanying spouse ? Just too tight to call, I might call OINP on Monday to know which approach.

May I know if you included blank pages of passport when you submitted your expression of interest?

As long as the changes are logically made and application filed perfectly there will be no negative impact.

Passports' blank pages are not compulsory. That's optional and up to you.

Thank you, @NikSharma01 Btw, would one year income tax document suffice for the proof of compensation or do I need to show tax documents per year that I am employed to a company where I am claiming points for the work experience?

I tried joining your OINP group but this link doesn't work

Hi All,

I have received an NOI for OINP and while applying for the same, I need help in filling the 'Intention to Reside in Ontario' section. I have no ties mentioned in the help list. What should I fill in this section?
Also I already submitted a statement of intent pdf in 'Your Required Documents' section. Should I copy paste the same letter here or just mention 'No ties available' in this section?
What is the correct way to proceed here?
