Can I update spouse accompanying to YES after receiving OINP nomination

[PreetKaur1]

@PreetKaur1 so you also added the spouse after getting the OINP nomination ?
I emailed OINP about the same and got the reply from them that we can use the nomination certificate issued for submitting the PR application for yourself and your dependents. So as per them we can use it and add spouse but I was told by few that if we are doing it we should explain it in LOE also just to be on the safe side.

But what would we write in LOE? Has anyone done so earlier?

Thank you so much. This is a very inspiring success that brings hope to others people like me. I'll summarize the exact steps you did, together with some more questions below. Hope that you can help and please correct if I assume something wrong.

(Before that, my case: NOC 2174. CRS with spouse accompanying: 440. CRS with spouse non-accompanying: 453)

1. Created EE profile with spouse non-accompanying to have N points (which is higher than A points if spouse accompanying).

2. Got a NOI when OINP draw happend with cut-off score C:
Could you please share your scores N (spouse non-accompanying), A (spouse accompanying) and C (cut-off score of that OINP round). The reason I'm asking this is that I'd like to see if your A is less that C and how much less, to compare with my case. OINP might have been ok with your A because it was not much less than C, but might reject me if my A (440) is significantly less than C (for example 448).

3. Submitted an application to OINP, with spouse accompanying:
a. Did you explain to OINP that your EE profile had been having spouse non-accompanying?
b. Did you admit to them that your CRS score if adding spouse would have been A, which was less that C (cut-off)?
c. Did you put those explanations in the LOE or in separate email sent to OINP, or both?
d. Did they response anything, or just quietly accept it and nominate?
e. Could you please share with me (alessio2110@yahoo.com) or with us here the writing part that you explain this to OINP? Thank you so much.

4. Before taking the nomination, updated EE profile to have spouse accompanying:
a. Did you update the profile after you got the nomination but before accepting it, or even before getting the nomination? If the latter (not received the nomination yet), how to know that OINP had been ok with your spouse, to safely update EE profile?
b. After updating EE Profile, did you notify OINP? if yes, did you do so by email?

5. After getting an ITA, submitted eAPR:
a. Did you admit/explain to IRCC everything, including the scores A, N, and C and the real reason for having non-accompanying at first then changing to accompanying later?
b. Could you please share the writing part that you explain this to IRCC?

So many and long questions, but I hope that you will help, Thank you so much again, @Ammarhaider22.

I am under the same situation. Can you please share your application outcome?

 

[macwwbw]

I added my spouse and received an ITA but I'm not sure about LOE and if we write one, what has to be written in it. I wrote to IRCC twice and received two different replies, but none answered the question. Although when I called them , I was told that spouse can be added. Maybe you could also try writing them and share with us.

Did you add your spouse in OINP application or EE application post nomination or to both?

I didnt want to take risk and didnt change. Got my COPR, will be sponsoring my wife post moving to Canada.

How much time does it take to get approval for sponsored spouse visa?

Hello,
I've received OINP NOI Tech Draw on 29/07/2020. My CRS is 463 and NOC is 2174. Though I'm married I had applied on EE portal as a single applicant (Spouse Non-Accompanying). I'm in the process of filing my OINP application.
I read comments on the thread https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/can-i-update-spouse-accompanying-to-yes-after-receiving-oinp-nomination.621722/
This was a really interesting finding.
I'm in two minds about adding my spouse after getting the OINP Nomination.
I just wanted to know how this worked for you guys? Did anyone ever face any issues with this approach or foresee any problems in the future?

@GaganDhillon28 I am also in the same situation. Can you please update whether it worked for you and what did you write in LOE?

Hi,
Can you pls. let me also know the final result of this. what I have understood after reading the complete thread is that we can add a spouse as accompanying in the EE profile after receiving the nomination. I also want to add spouse and would prefer to send an email to OINP. Pls. help me in below points.

1. Can someone pls. share their email ID ? can we directly write to OINP that my score was less so I selected the spouse not accompanying & now I want to add my spouse.
2. For settlement funds, how many months of bank statements should we provide, is it for 3 months or for 6 months & shall I provide the bank statement/bank letter of spouse too?
3. How many years of work experience docs. should I provide in last 10 years as I had worked with multiple employers in last 10 years & mentioned all this work experience in EE profile.

Pls. help me understanding these points, I shall be really grateful to you.

Hello All,

I recently got nominated by oinp but i would be getting married soon would I need to inform ontario abt this and how can I change my express entry to married afterwards

 

[Komkom]

Hi do you have any idea on this:

what if somebody gets married after receiving the ITA from OINP? what happens after that?

kindly help if you know, thanks in advance.

Hello,

Please did you get a response for this?
Kindly share if you did.

Thank you

 

[Komkom]

Please reply on this. I wish to make changes before next ITA.

Pls how did you go about this

 

[alessio2110]

Hey guys, sorry I didn’t follow this thread for a while. Unfortunately I can’t give you any experience on this as I got ITA directly (with my wife non-accompanying) and didn’t follow this PNP path. Wish you all the best with your applications and share with us how it goes.

 

[Komkom]

I'm still undecided, but I've asked Ontario regarding the same issue, and their reply is as below;

Dear Madam/Sir,


Thank you for your email correspondence to the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) mailbox.


Please be advised that only the applicant’s name appears on the OINP Confirmation of Nomination document.


Successful nominees must submit an application for permanent residence to IRCC within six (6) months of being nominated by the OINP. You must include a copy of your Letter of Nomination and a copy of the OINP Confirmation of Nomination document. You can also include your spouse and dependents in your application for permanent residence.


Please note that nomination by OINP does not guarantee the approval of your application for permanent residence by IRCC.


We hope this information will assist you. Once again, thank you for your email and for your interest in the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program.
