AOR. They might take two more weeks to go to Assessment.

I doubt that. I'm almost one month after AOR (submitted my application 01 March 2018) and my status is still showing submitted. Also have a friend at 1.5 months after AOR and status still showing submitted.
However, I believe we will begin to see progress soon as I presume OINP have been working on their 2017 backlog.

On their website average processing time is shown as 30-60 days. From what you mentioned above it seems processing is taking considerably longer which is quite disappointing.

best of luck....

I think the CRS point will drop just like last year (maybe around 420's). I read something today in the news that IRCC will get 747 million Dollars to support immigration plans (2018 - 2020). In my opinion, I think IRCC will use some of this money to recruit more IRCC staff members....that is because the number of ITA's will increase drastically (which explains why IRCC will hire more staff)....Overall, this means the CRS points will drop due to the increase in ITA's (probably in the next few months).

Here is the link to the news:

No it will not go below 430...

do you think that it would dip to at least 430 sometime later this year though? Me and my spouse just re-did ielts and expecting a score of about 436-438. I dont think we can do much better.

Dude try for oinp, if you get it take it.
This year doesnt look good like last year because of various reasons which have been discussed in forum multiple times.

 

[Varunaimar]

Let's start with the Wednesday predictions, please? What are we expecting?

448-451 with 3000 ITAs?
444-446 with 3500 ITAs?

Yes, thats true, we would certainly not let an OINP invitation pass if we`ll receive one. I guess we`ll be able to only update our EE profile by end of April or so as IELTS results will be out on 6th and spouses WES would be done by 20th approx. Currently there is not much happening in the pool for people of our score anyway, so i guess we wont be missing out on much..

Incorrect. Processing time is 60-90days for OINP HCP.

Well you are right but mainly don't wanna spend 1500 cad. With a newborn my finances have just gone haywire, so don't wanna spend additional money. Though i did not claimed any points for spouse language hence that seemed a better option to gain some points. If that also don't suffice then i can get ECA for wife which should give me another 9 points. 438 is just with my details.

get those 2 done mate. i was at 431 and now i am at 455.
goodluck
