    Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP)

    Ontario PNP does not require that. Others probably don't either.

    Huge jump in points after updating profile with Master's ECA

    Hi, I was previously at 400 points with a 4-year Bachelor's degree ECA. Last night I updated it to include my new Master's degree ECA and today the score jumped to 439! Is this normal? I had expected it to go up by 14 points according to this...

    envelope for WES evaluation with seal and signature

    That's good. I looked up the requirements for Poland and they are very similar to those for my country (Costa Rica). It's also supposed to require a signature on the envelope, so at the very least yours wasn't just accepted because of laxer requirements. Awesome! I hope everything turns out OK...

    envelope for WES evaluation with seal and signature

    Great! I really hope they accept it, since my university already sent it 14 days ago and it's going to take ~22 days total to get to WES. Sending it again would be quite a pain. I had already gone to the university to request the transcript and pay for it, authenticated the university...

    envelope for WES evaluation with seal and signature

    Is there *any* chance that WES will accept an envelope with a seal but no signature? My university sent it out some time ago and today the secretary told me that she's not sure if she signed it, since "signing the flap is not their standard procedure". I had explicitly requested that they do so...

    Ontario Express Entry - Received PT Notification of Interest from Ontario

    I am about to re-create my profile with ~400 points. As far as I know, that means that I will probably get a PT letter for OINP. However, my IELTS results will be 2 years old in September. Is it OK if I start the OINP process with those results and later in the year (probaly May 21st) take the...

    Does my wife need to get an ECA & take IELTS if we don't need the points?

    You mention that anything "> 400" is sufficient. At the moment I haven't finished the ECA process for my Master's, so I'm right at 400. Is 400 sufficient, or only from 401 up? With regards to my wife's ECA, she's reluctant because her Bachelor's grades weren't stellar. Does it matter if the...

    Does my wife need to get an ECA & take IELTS if we don't need the points?

    Not obligatory at any stage of the process up to landing in Canada? Thanks

    Does my wife need to get an ECA & take IELTS if we don't need the points?

    I'm going to create my profile with ~405 points in a couple months. Presumably, that will be enough for OINP and subsequently EE. Would there be any need for my wife to get an ECA and take the IELTS? Is it obligatory at any point or can we avoid the time and expense required to get them? Thanks

    Oinp invitation

    Good luck! Please let us know how it turns out. I have 400 points as per the calculator but have been waiting a bit to gather some of the required documents ahead of time before re-creating my profile. Does anyone know if the OINP invitation is given *for sure* to anyone with 400 or more...

    Will I ever get an ITA @ 446?

    Re: Will I ever get an ITA @ 446? Hmm... I thought I read somewhere that Ontario required you to only say you were willing to live there in the EE profile. Perhaps I'm misremembering?

    Will I ever get an ITA @ 446?

    Re: Will I ever get an ITA @ 446? Are they still sending provincial interest letters to anyone with a score of 400 or above? Or is it harder this year?

    Can I take the FBI fingerprints myself?

    There don't seem to be such professional services in my country, but I'm going on a business trip to the US soon and a quick Google search revealed a well-reviewed place in the area. I'm going to try the professional place, but your advice might still be useful for other people. Thanks everyone!
