Hi there,

I made an account for Express Entry, and I am currently in the pool, but ITA is not issued for me because my score is not enough. For that reason, I am interested in CSQ, and plan to apply for CSQ, but I am not sure if it is possible.
I think because they are different programs, there will be no problem unless I apply for PR after having CSQ. Is there anyone who knows about this? Any advice is very appreciated.

You can apply for both. But in the end only one application will be processed for PR. Btw, how much point you posses for your EE profile ?

Thanks for your reply. So, "in the end only one application will be processed for PR." means I need to choose between my CSQ and express entry one when I go into federal stage after getting CSQ, right?
My current score is lower 380's, but try to improve it by English test as additional score is given if all English subjects (i.e., reading, writing...) are more than CLB 9.

Not going to sleep unless someone answers my query:

I planning to submit my QSWP application on 16th Aug.'16.
AOR from QSWP will be received after 3 months period from application submission i.e by Nov'16.

In Nov.'16. OINP is expected to re-open and I am eligible to apply with CRS 410.

Will I be able to apply for OINP even after receipt of QSWP AOR ?

Your inputs will help me decide to either file for QSWP or OINP or both .......

Im in the same position. The fee for QSW of CAD550+ is non-refundable. Hence i think i will just wait for OINP as this process is much QSW.

I THINK YOU MEANT THAT QSWP IS "SLOWER" SO YOU WILL OPT FOR OINP INSTEAD OF WASTING NON-REFUNDABLE FEES IN QSWP.

BUT WHAT IF OINP COMES OUT WITH SOME NEW UNFAVOURABLE RITERIA OR DOESNT COME OUT AT ALL THIS YEAR ?

I THINK, ITS BETTER TO HAVE A PLAN B (QSWP) IF PLAN A(OINP) DOESNT WORK OUT. OFF COURSE THE COST OF "NON REFUNDABLE MONEY" HAS TO BE BORN FOR SUCH DECISION...

QSWP AOR Timeline has decreased to 6 months or less.

I have heard, Jan.'2016 applicants have received their AOR's. (Not sure about June 2016 applicants)

So QSWP "Completion Time-period" (least 2-3 years) must have also decreased with recent timeline decrease in AOR's.

Any Guesses What could be the New Completion Time-period for QSWP ? (Speculations are welcome)

hopefully we'll (I mean those who successfully send their applications) receive our CSQ in 6 months or less
