Hi All,

I'm in the EE pool with an eligible application submitted with a current CRS score of 456. In the next two months, I will complete one yr working experience in Canada and will be eligible for CEC with a CRS score bumping up to 546, or in the worst case if I say I do not have a job offer after I acquired 1 yr experience the score will still bump up to 496.

That being said, I would like to know if it is a good idea and worth it to go ahead and apply for OINP which could take approx 30 - 60 days of processing time with additional $1500 fees with an uncertainty of OINP getting approved in a considerable amount of time.

And few other drawbacks I came to know (I might be wrong) on getting PR via PNP like for e.g. after getting PR through PNP, and if you decide to move out of that province that sponsored PNP within in 3 yrs of your eligibility to citizenship. IRCC can question you during your citizenship application asking for the efforts you made to stay in PNP sponsored province and there is a chance of getting your citizenship application rejected.

Please let me know your thoughts.

Appreciate your responses and thanks in advance.

I would wait.. OINP will take time, plus we may have draws returned earlier. Moreover, CEC is fast.

Even I thought the same until I saw this a few days ago- https://moving2canada.com/ircc-memo-express-entry-2022-no-draw-for-six-months/?utm_source=OneSignal&utm_medium=News&utm_campaign=220120

That article looks legit and also after seeing January'2022 draws I feel like going with PNP. What do you think?

Article is a mere speculation. IRCC targets will be decided by FEB 2022-2024 announcement. Man I would still wait, if i were you. OINP is very unpredictive, plus their processing tiems are 60-90 days after the app is submitted. And PNP is slow.
