Not sure I understand your question... if you get OINP nom you get 600 points and that will give you an ITA in the next draw... if you're at 400 it's definitely faster if you're as 550, then it's probably the same.

A nomination fetches you 600 points. Then you are 99% sure to receive an ITA in the immediate next draw along with several other with CRS greater than or equal to Cut off. This lot includes people with provincial nominee and the ones without.

Now, if you are referring to post ITA process, the applications are processed within 6 months post eAPR.
There is a notion that applications with provincial nominations(PNPs) are processed faster compared to the ones without PNPs.
The reason is part of the background verification process is already done by provinces and hence might not require a closer scrutiny by IRCC.
However, there is no clear evidence to this.
Hope I addressed your concern.

Cheers!

Shoot them an email and (or) fax. That would suffice. Shipment of a letter would cost you more working days depending on your location.

Thanks pjk and g126. Sorry for not putting my question clearly. I meant post-ITA processing. I am of the same opinion that logically it should be faster for PNP nominated candidates, as there is no meaning of repeating same checks. However, it is of course their choice, if they want to repeat the investigation. In general, PNP nominated candidates have bright chances of faster post-ITA processing in comparison to normal candidates.

I would say faster as in, it's faster to gather your documents because most of your reference letters, wes, bank statements, etc would be ready for you to submit post-ita. However if you followed other threads, nomination is not a guarantee for PR. Just to be realistic, there are some other issues that are appearing now e.g:

• Lots of clinics do not do upfront medicals anymore since 15 December 2016 as they absolutely want your UCI number which you won't have.
• Because OINP has been extremly slow, there are cases of IELTS expiring and there's no guarantee that if you retake IELTS again, your score would be above 400.
• When you received ITA and your IELTS score brings your score below 400, it's not clear whether OINP will remove your nomination and whether one would have to reapply for OINP and pay $1500 again.

I'm not trying to discourage anyone, but I've been through stress and excitement with OINP and now there are still more road blocks ahead.

So I wouldn't worry too much whether nomination is faster post-ita, as long as you submit the appropriate documents, just be patient. You'll eventually get your PR.

Hi TLOU,

What you are talking about is post-nomination and ITA document gathering/submission stage. I am talking about post-ITA submission with acceptable criteria.

Thanks.

It is very clear. Candidate has to inform OINP, and they will remove nomination. If not informed, CIC will reject PR, as the score must be 400 or above. So for OINP candidates, if CRS goes below 400 because of IELTS then nomination is not valid. If applicant gets PT Notification again, he will have to freshly apply for OINP.

Here's a scenario:

Let's say you received ITA and got 90 days to submit, but your original IELTS is about to expire. You retook your IELTS 5 times within those 90 days but failed to maintain your CRS above 400 due to lower IELTS. Assuming OINP does remove your nomination(because you have to let them know when your IELTS expires), why can't OINP eventually give you back your nomination when you eventually get a better score at IELTS #6 within those 90 days.

*For simplicity, let's assume that there are 2 IELTS per months and disregard the 13 days wait time for results to come out, so roughly 3 months(90 days) = 6 IELTS. So basically, your last attempt at IELTS, you managed to increase your score above 400 and you are still within your 90 days limit, but OINP removed your nomination. This is the part that is not clear in any of their documentation. If you are back to square one again, that would be disgusting; paying $1500 again + the long waiting time to process another OINP application.

Logically, they should just accept your e-APR with whatever valid IELTS even though this new score brings your CRS below 400.

P.s I am not really asking this question cause multiple people already gave their opinions on the matter and this morning, Raj also gave his opinions. If you already answered this, please disregard my reply cause I just wrote the above for open discussions only among us.

I am just trying to make people aware of this potential issue(IELTS) given the long processing time from OINP. I am not yet in this situation and I hope no one has to go through this.

You have raised good a point. But in my opinion, candidate needs to anticipate expiration of IELTS. Even if CRS goes below 400, before nomination OINP allows to give IELTS and not rejecting application. So candidate has chance to retook IELTS even if old IELTS result is expired.

Once nomination is given, accepted and ITA is received, candidate is supposed to prove and maintain his CRS on which ITA is received because based on that criteria/CRS only he has received ITA.

In a way it is not fair because eventually IELTS expires because of delay from OINP side, but there is nothing much can be done by candidate except foreseeing the problem and giving IELTS in advance to maintain CRS of 400 or above.

Yes I do agree with you, one should anticipate that IELTS will expire. In my case, I already took another IELTS right before I got nomination, however this new score is decreasing my CRS below 400. I already got ITA and trying to submit my application before 10 Jan as that's when my first IELTS is expiring(the good one).

I might do the IELTS on the 21st of Jan as the one on 7 Jan is already booked. But if I can't get a better score again, I might be screwed as I will be traveling for the coming months, so no chance of doing another IELTS after the one on 21st of Jan and March would be my deadline for post-ITA submission.

Hopefully, in my case, if my PCC from Australia comes through before 10 January, I'll be able to submit everything before my IELTS expires. One might ask why didn't I apply for this PCC in advance. Well, because I will be visiting Australia again, and not knowing when the nomination would come through, it wasn't worth it as I would then have to reapply for another PCC again because I visited the country again.

I hope sharing my experiences here might give some insight to others in similar situations, mostly those waiting for nominations. There's more to life than sitting here and retaking IELTS over and over again or anticipating nominations, IELTs expiration, etc...

Understood your point friend. Hopefully you will make it through and your luck will support you. Thank you for sharing your learning.
