Hi all,

I created my file last Friday, April 8th and activate job bank on the same day. My IELTS was 9, 9, 6, 6.5
and CRS 434. Just now I received a new message, here it is

Ontario would like to consider you under their Provincial Nominee Program (PNP)

Dear xxx,

The Government of Ontario is interested in considering you for nomination under its Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) through Express Entry.



If you want Ontario to consider you for nomination under its PNP you must contact Ontario directly after receiving this letter. Note that this letter of interest is not a guarantee that you will be nominated by Ontario. You will first have to satisfy Ontario that you meet the requirements of their program.



You can find general information about each province or territory's PNP program on the website. You will also find a link to Ontario's PNP requirements and contact information.





General information:



If a province or territory nominates you through Express Entry and you accept the PNP nomination you will be allocated an additional 600 points in the Express Entry Comprehensive Ranking System. This means you will likely receive an invitation to apply for permanent residence under the Provincial Nominee Program.



If you accept a nomination, you are indicating to both Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) and that provincial or territorial jurisdiction that you intend to live in that province or territory and that you will comply with any other provincial or territorial program requirements.



Once you accept a nomination, your profile will no longer be visible to other provinces and territories, so you will not be considered for nomination by other jurisdictions. You will also not be considered for federal economic programs in Express Entry.



If a province or territory nominates you and you decline the PNP nomination, you will not be invited to apply under Ontario's nominee program.



It is possible to be nominated by more than one province or territory, but you may only accept one nomination.



If you decline the nomination, you will stay in the Express Entry pool of candidates. You will still be eligible to receive invitations to apply under the federal immigration programs (Federal Skilled Worker Program, Federal Skilled Trades Program and/or Canadian Experience Class). As well, other provinces and territories (if applicable) will be able to see your profile for future consideration.



You are not obligated to:

contact a province or territory that is interested in you, or
accept a nomination from a province or territory.


However, if you do not accept a nomination, there is no guarantee that you will be nominated by another province or territory, or that you will be invited to apply under a federal economic program in Express Entry.



A PNP nomination does not guarantee that you are eligible for permanent residence. The final decision to issue a visa or other document for permanent residence rests with IRCC.




May I ask what is this? what should I do???

Thank you!!!!!
 
It's an invitation to apply for OINP. However, I strongly recommend you retake your IELTS to get CLB 8 or 9 which will result in a much higher CRS score, then you can go with Express Entry directly, instead of wasting $1500 and one year waiting for OINP.

The OP already has 434 and can mostly likely get invited in the next draw. Wait until the next draw and then accept / decline.

you have 6 months to accept it. but once you accept, you have to submit everything in 14 days. so if you think you cant manage 14 days then take your time to accept.

I have also received the same letter, thanks for your comment I will also prefer to wait for express entry result (CRS 443).
 
Disregard , do not accept it. You will get an express entry notification within 24hours

Is the name of the letter above a 'provincial nomination certificate' or is it a 'provincial interest letter'? Thanks.
