medical test for OINP?
what's the upfront medicals that folks are talking about, is it possible to do it without EE IRCC's request letter to do it?
I'm not sure about OINP, but part of the requirements for AOR is an upfront medical test. You can do this with, or without IRCC's ITA letter. However do consider that, your CoPR expiration date is directly tied with your medicals expiration date. That being said, you might want to think twice before doing the medicals without IRCC's say so, or at least do it after ITA.

i will be required to take one test for study permit, I'd take it after the acceptance letter just before i apply for SP. and the same can be submitted for EE, a new med test with longer validity is nice so will decide later

Wait are you applying for both OINP and SP?

I see, I'm curious what's expected to happen? Will getting an SP expedite the EE-PNP processing?
i'm expecting 50% chances of SP rejection since that's how IRCC works as if there is a quota. Reports provides insights that Visa officer's brain cells receives some level of orgasm by rejecting applications, the orgasm which their spouses are unable to satisfy them.

Sounds risky to me, but, well, each to their own. Good luck though!

Guys I am wondering about processing times for PNP now. I have read in few places that some provinces are expediting the PR process. I do not know how true it is.
We have decided to go for it and we have accepted New Brunswick (Letter of Interest) - we are just waiting for them to issue the nomination. They have stated in the email that the PR processing is expedited for New Brunswick as their government is trying to land applicants as soon as possible - I am wondering how true it is.

About processing times for PNP: About the same as any other FSW. I doubt provinces could help speed that up since it's all up to IRCC. But if I recall correctly your gf is in healthcare, in which case the province might really have pushed the federal govt to expedite PNP processing using covid as a good excuse.

In 2019, IRCC's published avg processing time was 9 months for FSW and 8 months for PNP if memory serves me well.

It's weird that for AIPP, you can request for a work permit visa while waiting for your PR. They should offer the same for PNP since its mostly on demand experience.

In an ideal world yeah but I think that'd turn PNP into an even bigger circus; many more people trying to use that as a back door.

Yeah, it should be the same as any other outland application. AINP approved your application in two weeks right?

Yeah took exactly 14 days. Could've taken 11 days instead but my supervisor forgot to respond to AINP and a weekend got inbetween.
