Ontario select some profiles from EE based on job noc and connections to ontario. Then they send NOI(notice of interest) to selected candidates and only then you can apply for OINP.
Its never guaranteed that you will get NOI but this is ray of hope and 433 is not bad for NOI if your job is IT related.
So, I created my EE profile in DEC. 2017. That still would work, right? I saw some folks here saying they created fresh profiles and stuff.
