Express Entry vs. OINP Int

[legolas117]

Hi all,

Context:

1. I have received an ITA (in Jan 2016) through Express Entry for to apply for PR under CEC. I have all the relevant documents to show for my foreign work experience. Current processing time is 6 months.

2. I also have provincial nomination from Ontario (received in Jan 2016) under Masters Graduate stream. I cannot apply to Express Entry with this certificate of nomination. Current processing time is 15 months.

I'm planning to apply through Express Entry, and through PNP at the same time. So, if get passport request under CEC, I'll withdraw my other application (OINP).

Please advise if this sounds ok. Can we submit two applications at the same time?

Thanks.

Why don't you go ahead and apply here under CEC category, if you already have 1 yr. of Canadian work experience? CEC is for Canadian work experience and not foreign work experience.
2. I also have provincial nomination from Ontario (received in Jan 2016) under Masters Graduate stream. I cannot apply to Express Entry with this certificate of nomination. Current processing time is 15 months.

This is not good news for OINP applicants. It used to be 90 days processing time and now its 15 months.

Seems like by the time you get the best donation for Ontario the persons Express Entry profile is expired. Wonder of just like with CIC this is a website glitch on the Ontario site.

Yes, it was a glitch that has since been corrected.

What makes you think EE-CEC alone is not enough? Doesn't matter which program you choose, it all leads to the same PR status.

You can have both application at the same time. You will be paying application fee twice.

Btw, I think 15 months is paper PNP process at CIC only. So add whatever OPNP's process time on top of it.

Hello Everyone,
I applied under Ontario PNP under Masters Graduate stream in October 2017, got my Nomination Letter first week of January and it is valid till June 2018. I have already been working since April 2017 so in April 2018, I will be eligible to apply under Express Entry CEC.

My question is, when I create an profile in express entry it asks me, Do you have nomination from a province? Do i select a yes or no? Is this the option which will get me the additional 600 points? I already get to 458 points without PNP in Express Entry if I apply in April 2018. I dont want to apply under the paper based application by accepting the PNP and applying paper based and get stuck for 16-18 months when I can get PR in 6 months under Express Entry CEC.

Is there anyone who has similar situation or can help with this question?

Thanks.
