Applied for OINP Foreign Worker Stream (Non-EE), but got promoted and now I may have enough points for EE

[mig_akira]

Hey everyone! I have been working and living in Canada for about 5 years now as a software developer, under LMIA based temporary work permits. Since I don't have a university degree, I don't have enough points for an express entry (my CRS score is just over 390 ).

I received an ITA for the OINP: Foreign Worker Stream, and submitted my application last month. It's a non-EE stream, so if all goes well, it will still take me about 2 years to get a PR.

However, I have just been promoted for a category 0 job position within my company, as Engineering Manager. That would increase my CRS score to about 540 points (+200 for the new job offer, -50 from the current job offer). If there's a draw and I am invited to apply, I could get a PR way earlier than 2 years, I suppose.

if I do get selected in a EE draw, can I apply for it concurrently to my OINP application? And finally, this is probably a no, but is there any possibility that I can cancel the application for OINP while receiving a refund, since I would no longer need to use the OINP stream? (it's been 20 days since I submitted)

And if I can't get a refund, would it be best to have both the OINP and the EE going and just see which gets approved first, if any at all?

Thank you!

On my personal opinion I would chose to go with EE than NON-EE. $1500 not a worth the wait for 1.5 year extra, by assuming you are in good financial shape.

Thanks! So the thing is, I already submitted my non-EE application about 20 days ago, and already paid the fee ($2000 since I work in Toronto)!
That happened before I got the promotion, which happened only yesterday

Your better shot can be call them and confirm, I would say they will refund your money as long as you haven't received AOR.

The job would need to be 00 for you to get the 200 points. With an 0 job, you still only get 50 points.

Oh wow, thanks for the clarification! I never noticed the difference and was about to make a huge mistake! (although I think that when I were to change the Express Entry profile, it would show that I would still get only 50 points, but still...)

So I guess I won't need to do anything regarding my current OINP application, or would I need to send a request to update it with the new position?
