They may completely change it, or it may stay the same. With all the other PNP formats out there, there's no way to guess what the program may look like until they announce it. Either way, I think we'll know for sure very soon!

Nothing new lately, still waiting to see what OINP changes/announcements are made like everyone else. All else fails, I'm thinking of enrolling in university in Canada. Is anyone looking at other countries as an option? If so, what countries?

The OINP site alludes to it being sometime in Nov, but noone knows for sure. That was posted in May, so the timeline may have changed. Just another note, we don't know if they change the criteria as well, it appears they may have overwhelmed themselves by sending them to everyone last year who...

Farak, Have you thought of giving the Gatineau - Ottawa area a try. You will be living in Quebec (Gatineau), but with a large english speaking city right across the bridge. This may allow you and your family the opportunity to live in and get to know Quebec, while still having access to a...

I haven't seen them (or been able to find them), and I checked the ministerial instructions. Doesn't look like there was a draw today.

I'm not that good at speaking myself right now, but once I can actually form an understandable sentence in French I'll let you know, lol. I actually started taking classes before I knew about the French Skilled Worker stream, I wanted to learn for personal reasons. I'm started off at the...

joshuals it's very interesting that you mention this situation. My soon to be wife and I both live in the southwest (Arizona), and we are planning to spend part of the year in Quebec, the summer of course, and the other part of the year here in AZ. I'd be interested to discuss the best way to...

CRS 447, IELTS maxed out with Masters Degree, not much to improve. Currently hoping for OINP, also entering my 2nd year of French classes, and planning to take the TEF in summer 2017.

Haven't seen any updates on OINP. I'm waiting to hear from people who have received a PT NOI, and the last update on the site is from 8/23. It's only in reference to the entrepreneur stream.

thestunner316 has a great point here. I missed the cutoff in January by one point. This happened to me twice so make sure you max out and get every single point you can get. I then lost 5 points after my birthday, so currently sitting at 447, so I'm exploring all avenues. I may not get there...

I'm in a similar situation, I was at 452 until my birthday passed, now I'm sitting at 447. Already have my Masters degree, and maxed out IELTS points. Spring 2015 I started taking French classes, and I'm hoping to get OINP sometime this fall. If that doesn't come through, then I'll be sitting...

Reddysar, I'm in the same situation, sitting at 452 points. I just re-created my profile today actually, and waiting to see if I get a PT from Ontario. Please keep us updated and I'll do the same.

If you're applying from Hong Kong, processing times can be pretty long. This is what is currently listed for CSQ processing times for HK... Looks like HK processing time is at least 5 years... Hong Kong Verification of documents submitted (as of the official date of receipt of your CSQ...

Quebec has an agreement with the federal government to select it's own immigrants through use of the CSQ. Technically you're not supposed to settle in Quebec without going through that process. That being said, you will have the same rights of mobility as everyone else in Canada, meaning that...

Yes, if I can get through to the website before the heavy traffic shuts it down on submission day.

Are you sure you still need to submit? Read this from the Quebec immigration website... Changes to document requirements regarding the “Professional experience” criteria – Regular Skilled Worker Program November 25, 2015 – The Ministère de l'Immigration, de la Diversité et de l'Inclusion has...

I'm sitting at 452, and the score dropped to 453 on Jan. 13th, so I barely missed by 1 point. Last draw went up to 457, so I'm hoping it comes back down to around 450 in the near future. My birthday is coming pretty soon, which would drop my points a bit, so I'm going the provincial route as...
