Benefits of OINP v/s normal EE

[rohansekhri]

I'm in a fix with all the little knowledge I have regarding the OINP. We submitted our profile 2-3 days ago and today we got a letter of interest from Ontario for OINP.

We have 472 CRS points and scores are gonna drop sooner or later, no rocket science in that

We are a little confused now.. as to go for the OINP or wait for "that" draw? Simple reason being 1500 CAD and we will be bound to stay in Ontario [although its our preferred state, in case, we get a good job there], which might be useless if the qualifying score falls below 472. Am I missing anything here?

Are there any other benefits of the OINP apart from the 600 points? Will it help in any other way?

We have some time to respond to the letter of interest. Request some guidance here.

Pros are for people who have lower scores and once you get 600 points, you are sure to grab that precious ITA

Cons are the longer processing time and financial hit of 1500 cad.

Your scores are decent and you can expect ita in near future. Its a calculative risk and only you can pull a trigger in this.

Dear friend, what you mean by saying longer processing times? For example, if I apply for Ontario's Nomination and in few days get ITA when luckily the draw is under my score, will the this ITA expire because I had applied for nomination?

Ontario takes 90 days to issue a nomination and reward you 600 points.

ITA wont expire and you can accept the ITA but you may lose 1500 cad if ontario starts reviewing your application.

Yeah but both will end up with a likelihood of success, so even if I first get ITA through simple draws I will not be disappointed anyway I feel like being safe is worth of 1500$, because who knows whether the lowest benchmark will ever go to 450 again.

Certainly it will go to 450 but no one is sure when.

I suggest you to wait. 472 is a fantastic score and you most probably would get an ITA in the next couple of draws.

The purpose of a nomination is to increase points to get an ITA. With your score, you can get an ITA without nomination so there's no point going for it.

Good luck and all the best!

I agree with Stanger and rajkamalmohanram.

 

[charger01]

Yeah with 472 you can expect ITA sooner or later. Not seeing much benefit of spending additional $$$$ for PNP and not to forget processing times for PNP are one of the slowest thats been noticed of late..

We are sailing in the same boat bud. Score escalated to 477 this week post completion of 1 yr Canadian exp, and received AOR under NS requesting profile update within 5 days. Didn't see a point going for that hoping for future draws.

Fingers crossed now

So, let me understand it more.
1. I re-create my profile today
2. Ontario issues me a nominations in the next 90 days (excluding December)
3. I get the nomination and 600 points so I get an ITA in the next 90 days
4. From the ITA date I get the provincial PR in 6 months (as per the EE rule)

Is my understanding correct?

 

[G.Singh]

^^I guess it should officially take:::::
Excluding Dec/Jan'15 due to holiday season
OINP=90 days max (xcluding any buffer for delays in 'further information' needs)
ITA=15 days min (looking at trend)
PPR=6 months max(provided we apply same day of getting ITA & xcluding any buffer for delays in 'further information' needs)
We might expect the process to complete by mid November/early December next year...LOL (even excluding fact that they might have huge pile of apps in Feb 16 to start working on)

Its a calculative risk and only you can pull a trigger in this.

Good words!

It all depends on your desire to immigrate and your financial situation.
You have pretty good CRS points, but nobody knows what will be tomorrow.
100% it's safer to go both ways simultaneously. Again "only you can pull a trigger in this".

Partly correct.

Between Point 1 and 2, there is Point 1A and 1B.

1A. Ontario takes a finite amount of time (1 day/1 week) to send you an invitation after you've recreated your profile.

1B. After receiving the invitation, you have 45 days to send in all your documents to Ontario so that they can process the same and send you a nomination.
