I think he/she is inquiring about applying for a PGWP, my understanding is that the individual is on a study permit right now going through the program of study and is inquiring whether his/her studies provide the eligibility requirements to apply for a PGWP. Also remember that since your...

Hey, How long was your educational program in Canada? PGWP can extend up to a maximum of 3 years if you studied for 3 years or more in Canada. If you only studied 1 year then you are only eligible for a 1 year PGWP. Make sure that your PGWP was issued for the entire duration that you are...

Hello roger122, Unfortunately from what I gather is that the majority of OINP job-prescreening applications take over a year to finalize. The nomination that comes after the prescreening is approved seems to be relatively quick (Within 3 months), but this stream is not an Express Entry stream...

Hello Sunny^^, My company submitted an Employer Pre-Screening Application on January 4th. We haven't heard back yet. :'( Regards, Moelaghil

I called OINP today to inquire about my employer's application and somehow managed to get someone on the phone. The response I got hasn't changed for the past 4 months: The application is in the second stage of processing where an investigator analyst is reviewing it. Although, I was told to...

Some people are saying October or November. Some say the new year... it's all speculations at this point. They might not get these changes in place till mid next year. I'm certain they will occur at some point since the minister himself mentions it at numerous occasions. Only time will tell...

My understanding is that OINP has a giant backlog of applications. I think mostly from the Human Capital Priorities Stream. They used to submit a PT invitation to anyone who listed Ontario as a place of interest and has a CRS score of 400 or above. There is an absurd number of applicants who...

Hey, Let me try and clarify your question. The 2 year requirement you speak of is on the nomination application and not on the pre-screening application. Which means an international student must have a job that was already pre-screened and submit an application for nomination within 2 years of...

Hey, Does anyone know if you're allowed to study French at a college if you are a holder of an open work permit? Thanks!

Hello everyone! I have been following this thread for some time. I personally never received a PT from ON, but my employer applied for a pre-screening on January 4th and we haven't heard back just yet. I contacted the MP a few times in regards to the delay in processing time and they tried...

Yea if you get an ITA go for it! If it pans out and you get your PR just withdraw your applications through the other streams. You'll lose the application fees, but hey that's a small price to pay for ease of mind and maximizing the potential of landing PR.

I think express entry is way faster. This is the current processing time for paper base provincial nomination according to IRCC:

You can apply for a BOWP once you get your AOR from IRCC for your PR paper application. It's a pretty straight forward process. Congrats on your nomination!

:o Under a year for both the pre-screening and nomination! Congratulations! and hopefully your PR application is a speedy one as well.

Hey msmahmood, My understanding is that you applied under any stream which requires a job pre-screening. None of those stream are Express Entry Streams, therefore you will not receive 600 points towards your express entry profile. Once you are nominated you have to submit a paper application to...

Hey gowthamp, Let me try and clarify your question. The 2 year requirement you speak of is on the nomination application and not on the pre-screening application. Which means an international student must have a job that was already pre-screened and submit an application for nomination within 2...

I do realize that this information is old to some members. I mentioned in the post that this seminar happened in May... I only found out about this seminar yesterday and I figured I would share it considering that September is right around the corner and some members, like myself, might not have...

I'm hoping to keep this thread alive. I know there aren't many people applying through pre-screening process. I called OINP last week inquiring about my employer's application. They said that the application is in the second stage of processing where it was sent to an investigating officer. If...

Hey Fossy, Read the following thread, be sure to read the article and watch the video: http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/ee-draws-explanation-for-high-crs-requirments-and-small-number-of-invitations-t447871.0.html I honestly think that the CRS point requirement...

:'( Then how do you explain situations like mine? I moved to Canada for school at the age of 15 and have been living here for 8 years! I'm 23, single, with a Diploma in Engineering and a Bachelors degree in Engineering both from a Canadian University. I worked 2-3 jobs throughout my education...
