Ontario Tech Draw - October 27, 2021

If Ontario accepts a reference letter and does not indicate a NOC mismatch, does it mean IRCC will also accept it?
Or is it possible IRCC gives a different verdict?

Congratulations !

Thanks Bud. Appreciate!

Nearly impossible!!!

Its almost an easy re-verification procedure for candidates from the PNP stream.
IRCC has little or nothing to object upon, if a candidate's NOC has already been vetted and approved by provinces for PNP streams.

What IRCC focuses on are: candidate's medical status/reports, mismatch and/or genuineness of other info, criminality status and current POF capabilities.

Oh wow,
Thank you. This is so reassuring

Is there an existing WhatsApp group with members from this forum/Oct 27 timeline?

Hi guys. I recently applied for OINP, and the status is shown as assessment in the portal. Yesterday I received a call from Canada, and i couldn't attend the call. I am guessing if it is from the case officer, as it is a Canadian number. Did any of you receive a call from case officer for OINP application. If they contact the applicants, what are the common questions which they might ask?

That's a bit awkward considering that they should be phone-calling your boss(es) and bank(s) for verifications, rather than phone-calling you.
To answer your question, NO questions/conversations are 'common' or generic. Conversations may depend solely on the files you have submitted and the LOE you have put-forward. If you feel strongly that the calls are from OINP, email them at once for clarifications and include the 'mysterious' phone-number details and call-log (caller ID/time/date of call).

Finally, It's important that you start reviewing all your files in absolute detail, such that even when asked any question about any of your files while sleeping, you would easily answer without having to make reference or sound not-sure about it. Although I never got calls/emails, but I did the same prior to getting approved.

Goodluck Bud.

Appreciate in writing back to me. Yes, I need to review my documents and prepare in detail.

Hi, I have submitted on 12 Nov and application changed to assessment on Nov 25. There is no update after that and it's already 60 days. Anyone else also have similar delay? What should I do now? Thanks

Average OINP estimate says 30-60 days on website!!!
As a candidate, you should take it as 60+ WORK-DAYS (in worse case scenario)!

I know how it feels, ‘ve been there also, but your continued patience is vital here, ‘cos it will be tested!

FYI, I submitted mine on Nov. 5th and got approved on Jan. 12th, making it total of 68 calendar days.

Good luck bud!

you can OINP on their number. Sometimes these calls are made to confirm your eligibility. I would definitely contact ONIP through phone

That they will not receive until May going by the past years trends
