I have max'd out at 446, what should I do?

[Zoide]

What happens if we *do* get a PT from Ontario and it takes us ~45 days to get everything ready, which would put us beyond the end of 2015's Express Entry? After that it would be ~3 months to hear back from Ontario, and then *if* we get nominated to apply to EE, it would be well into 2016. Does anyone know how things are going to work starting in January?

Thanks

As per the few people threads on this forum, it seems that OINP is a very selective program in giving out nomination Invitations.

Based on what some have said you could try re-creating the profile and ticking 'Share information with all Provinces'.
1)Best case you get the OINP,
2)Middle ground you get Invitation from another Province
3) Worst case: current position

The situation where some have got the Invitation and others haven't is why I have not recreated my profile.

First of all a big congrats to you JoacRy my friend well done!

As per what you and our friend "Russian" explained me the other day, I have decided not to re-create my EE profile, instead just hold strong and go for TEF exam. Infact, when I see what options you had mentioned in your reply, I see the worst option is that you get a nomination from a province that you don't plan to live in! And as far as my knowledge about the PNPs go, the processing times of all the provinces - be it Ontario, Quebec or Sasketchwan are really high - even when they are running the parallel EE streams. I read somewhere that average processing times for Quebec (from day of application to landing) is somewhere around 24-30 months! And for State of Manitoba is around 18-24 months! Now, if that's true the entire purpose of EE is lost. I am sure 2016 will witness a beefed up EE draws and more frequent ones - which will surely bring the scores down

Hence, I wait for the day I receive my ITA. In the meanwhile, go for TEF and crack it in 1st attempt!

Wish me luck!

Thank you Bablaa for your kind gesture. I'm not celebrating too soon though. My problem is that the system has given me credit for working in Canada for 1 year when to date I have '349 days'. I have sent an email via the Case Specific Inquiry Form to see what they suggest I do. It's extremely frustrating but as with other things in life 'Honesty is the best policy'.

Best wishes to you also.

@ Bablaa, I,m sure you'll get ITA soon enough. If you can handle French, you should tell your wife to cal you "sir"

@ JoacRy, I think the system is not so fool to screw up your points. I'm convinced that you are eligible for this ITA.

Good luck to you both

Many thanks Russian, I sincerely hope that CIC will come back and say this is ok. I have gathered all my documents and have more than enough information (based on existing criteria) to satisfy FSW requirements.

I don't know about this one, I am just guessing..
let's consider applicant got nomination from a province Ontario and its taking maybe ~8-10 months, but in between that applicant got ITA, can't he withdraw nomination from a province application ? or it is like, if he is in process, he will not get ITA ?
