The long awaited day has FINALLY come. I created my Ontario application yesterday, now just gathering certified translations to attach in my profile and submit it. The wait has actually benefited me, I won´t have to explain a car sale worth almost half of my POF because that happened april and it is beyond the six month window you must show your bank statements.
Keep in mind that most of us, having applications approved, will probably be nominated early 2018! OINP has made that clear:
"NOTE: If your application is approved after the OINP reaches its nomination allocation for 2017, your nomination certificate will be issued in early 2018."
Good news for late 2017 applicants, bad news for 2018 applicants. You just lost some room for next year in advance.
Good luck for everyone!
