Thanks you kamy for your reply,
I have total 2+ years of experience, i am a network Administrator for almost 1 year now, i haven't seen any IT related demand in Ontario pnp, i have one more question
Is it still possible they will invite me? Do they invite all 400+ or just some from top in queue according to their qouta?

Thanks
There is no "in-demand" occupation list for OINP - HCPS. If you satisfy their criteria, you might likely get a PT.

Even with that 405 CRS score?
Doesn't matter if you have 400 or 475. As long as you have a 400 + score (per the current rules), it is likely that you will get a PT. OINP is NOC agnostic whilst sending out PT NOIs, IMO. Good luck!

I want to know that do we have to apply for OINP or they randomly select the profiles from EE profiles to give them the nomination. Kindly elaborate how the PNP works. Actually I am sitting on CRS score of 475 and still not got the ITA. So I am looking for PNP from any state. My NOC is 0122 bank manager.

Im in desperate need of some help..........

I have applied for PR through CEC and its being processed. But my current permit is probably going to expire before its granted.

I am trying to apply for a BOWP, but not having much luck

I retook the eligibility test and gained a PRC

Created a new CIC account and built a EE profile

I now have buttons on MYCIC account page that are under the heading 'What would you like to do today?'

The first one is Apply for visa, work permit etc

I choose this option, then it prompts me to either enter my PRC or check my eligiblty and apply on line

It doesn't recognize my PRC (same one I used before creating EE profile)....... and when I try the other option the process stalls mid way through and says system unavailable, and has done for 2 weeks

Am I doing something wrong of is the system choked, ive raise a technical issue request but haven't heard anything back yet

Any help or advice would be gratefully received

Ben

OINP sends invite to applicants who have CRS 400 and above to apply for nomination. Currently OINP is on a temporary pause. For more details about PNP, please check this thread http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/summary-of-eligibility-requirements-for-all-express-entry-pnp-streams-t432937.0.html

Thanks for your reply stanlee. But my confusion still remains. Since their are thousands of applicants in 400 above bracket. So OINP can't send the nomination to everyone. So how do they select the profiles to provide them nomination.

OINP does not give them nomination based on the scores, it is only the invite to apply for nomination. In the past based on the score (400 and above), OINP used to send invite for nomination, which means the applicant has to submit a nomination application with all supporting documents. Based on completeness check and satisfactory verification OINP nominates applicants.

Hello people,

Need your help/advice/suggestion.

is there a thread in this forum that someone can point me to, that will provide a step-by-step instructions of how to apply for Express Entry process(in order).
If here is no thread of that can, could someone who has in-depth understanding of the process, kindly create one and put it as sticky?

I am bit confused as to what would be the first step in applying for the EE and its corresponding steps.
Though website provide instructions to certain extent, i am not entirely convinced as i understand there is lot more required than what is mentioned on the website.

These instruction will be helpful not just to me but many aspirants who are seeking a lucid understanding of the process.

Thank you all for your time. :)

Hi all,

Could you please help me with finding out when my 2 years work experience is complete? Below are some details about my situation. Thanks in advance.

Education: bachelor of engineering from Canada.
Status: Post Graduate Work Permit
Job 1: from 20 October 2014 to 31 December 2014
Job 2: from 05 January 2015 to present.
Both jobs were held in Canada with minimum 40 hours/week.

I changed jobs because I got a better offer from another employer while I was doing job 1. Two weeks before the start of my job 2, I informed my employer at job 1 with my intention to leave the job on 05 January 2015. But the employer said because Friday 02 January 2015 was a non working day at our office (on that week we would work 9 hours per day from Monday to Wednesday and 8 hours on Thursday so that the Friday would be off=35 hours. On the prior week we would work 9 hours per day from Monday to Friday=45 hours. 80 hours over two weeks.) and Saturday and Sunday are weekends, it does not make sense for them to keep me employed on those days given that I no longer wanted to work for them. So my last day at work was on 31 December 2014.

I started my job 2 on 05 January 2015 and I have been working since then.

In my Express Entry profile my first job start is set in October 2014 and end is in December 2014. the second job start is in January 2015 to present.
On 01 September 2016 my profile was automatically updated and my work experience points were increased to equivalent of 2 years. My totals score right now is 466.

Question 1. On what date the two year work experience is achieved?
Question 2. If I receive an ITA before that date with the current 466 points, should I accept the ITA?

Please advise.

Thank you.

Does that mean that IRCC is allowing the following to happen?
Scenario: min draw score 480. number of draws 1500.

Case 1: A candidate receives an ITA with total score of 480. But the candidate 2 years work experience would be complete only after 10 days of receiving the ITA. There are at least 15 other candidates in the same situation.

Case 2: A candidate has two years and 2 months of work experience. The candidate's overall score is 479. There are at least a few other candidate in the same situation.

Outcome: out of 1500 ITAs issued, those 15 ITAs issued in case 1 were rejected because they did not have their 2 years work experience complete and their points should have been equal to that of 1 year work experience. IRCC rejects their application. If the draw had been conducted with exclusion of those 15 candidate of case 1, then the candidates of case 2 would have received an ITA with a score of 479.

Isn't that causing inflation of the minimum required score at each draw?

Currently the system calculates points in months instead of number of days. They need to have some validations in place which would attribute points to applicants based on actual completion of year(s).

Well if say this flaw causes 15 applicants who accepted an ITA to be rejected in each draw, then IRCC will fall behind in achieving their target for the year.

My guess is they allow for some tolerance in calculating years of work experience.

IRCC sets up the form for the applicants to enter their information. If the form requires month and year of job start date that means this is all they need to know.

If an applicant who started his job on 20th if a given month and follows the logic people discussed in this forum and decides to reject the ITA, then the draw system is not able to achieve its set targets.

In a different approach, using the same logic, if an applicant decides to advance the start date of their job by one month to compensate for the a apparent system flaw then they are actually misrepresenting information.

I think neither cases are okay.

You are wrong. IRCC is very picky about the dates. People on this forum have been rejected because they only had 1530 hours of work experience, rather than the required 1560.
