Not fair at all. They have categorically stated on their website that application shall be processed within 3 months, when we have applied. They changed it in no time and have added "Processing is taking longer than usual due a large number of applications in the program’s inventory. The OINP appreciates your patience as we work diligently to process the high volume of applications received". They refuse to give a tentative timeline for a decision to be made when contacted, and the waiting time is forever. Although I agree that assessment/verification of some applications takes longer than the others, the disparity is just unbelievable. How about the accountability? if a person receives ITA, before nomination then what's the point in applying for nomination? and they don't even refund full or partial fee of CAN$1500 that they charged us. How justifiable is this? I feel very disappointed !! :(
I can confirm that lots of things have been painful with OINP.

  • They could not invite people who applied to EE Jan 2015 and I didn't even know that until at the end of 2015
  • Finally sent application documents along with bank draft in February 2016, which expired because of their long process
  • Asked for payslips in ADR. They should have requested that in the first place. Would have saved time.
  • After receiving nomination and ITA, they still have this silly rule of maintaining score above 400
  • My IELTS expired (January 10 2015). New IELTS (December 10 2016 brings score below 400)
  • So now I need to retake another IELTS again this month. What's with this silly rule of maintaining score above 400 in the first place? I had it when I applied and received nomination.

I think hardest time of my life is given to me by this OINP. I am sick of waiting for my nomination. It is giving me frequent headaches and I cant think of anything except the decision mail. Moreover, i want to change job, but cant as my application is under process.

You can change job anytime you want (if this is not in Canada).

Most people do receive nomination. They will even request additional documents if they need some more documents from you. So just be patient. The only thing to worry about are post-ITA documents and your IELTS expiry date.

You can switch your jobs. Absolutely not a problem. All you got to do is to shoot them an email and a fax (if possible) along with a duly filled in the "Change in personal information form" stating the period of employment with your employers and send supporting documents such a s relieving letter , offer/appointment letter and payslips. Fax is the medium of my choice as they seem to be particularly attentive to it . I switched my jobs and have done the same.

P.S: I'm going though a period of sleepless nights, from last month precisely from Dec 05 (the day they told me my app is in decision phase, didn't get any ADR). I wake up suddenly in the middle of the night and refresh my mailbox on my mobile to see if I can find an email from OINP. Was never this anxious as far as I remember being an adult

Please bear with them for few more days. I am sure eventually you will get it as there are many pending nominations. Cheer up and good luck

Thanks everyone for your kind words and valuable feedback. My Ielts will expire in July, so i dont think that will be an issue. It does not make sense to change job now, as i have submitted additional docs. I am just waiting for the result so that I know about the future. I might have to change my current city for changing job.so i am just trying being patient and m waiting for the result so that i can plan my future better.

It's unfortunate to see lots of people still waiting for their nominations...

Do we have an idea how many people here have been nominated and how many are still waiting?

OINP FEB 2016 used to update the list... anyone seen him around?

We have a few people waiting the other threads:

Nov - only 6 out of 74
Dec - only 15 out of 121
Jan - only 24 out of 170
Mar - only 25 out of 75

But no idea on FEB... Feb had 134 people total... By simple iteration we should have around 50-30 remaining, but it feels like more people than that by the mood of the thread.

Anyway, I wish you guys luck and speedy NOMS!!!

True, but unfortunately there is nothing we can do except waiting.

Hi All,

i am a silent follower and you all have been great advise on each step for me. I did not ever need to ask question because answer was already there all the time.

However, NOW I NEED YOUR ADVISE PLEASE.

I received Nomination on December 13th. and my file got expire on Dec 16. I sent new file info to OINP on Dec 16. Since then no reply from their office.

As per IRCC letter nomination should be re-confirmed in 30days. Now only 4 days left. Until now no response. I sent multiple emails. Spoke to an operator multiple times. but no progress.

What should i do now? What if my new EE profile would expire on Jan 15. Am i still be able to get 600 points from OINP?
What would be the scenario?

Please explain.
Any answer will be appreciated.

Thank yoU!
