Re: OINP Chat Group - Ask Any Question.


Thank you so much! You are always so helpful! I feel so honored to be the first one to ask you a question ;D
Suppose one day I get nomination and then get my documents ready for CIC processing. I am the principal applicant, so for my husband, his reference letters for how long should be fine? 5 years or 10 years. Actually we both work outside Canada and his experience doesn't add points to my application. Some said that he needn't provide his reference letters. But I think and I was told somewhere it might be a little bit more secure to provide them. Thank you.

No, he doesn't need to provide reference letters, as his experience will not help or add any scores in your application.

Principal applicant is more important, it's you in your case. Just keep your own documents up to the mark.

Thank you for your reply. But I was required to put his working experience on EE profile. I was told that after ITA, a checklist will be automatically generated based on some forms I fill in, and then there will be "employment records" for my husband. How can I deal with this part if I don't provider his reference letter? Thanks again!

Thanks

Indefinite. Just like experience letter.

Once it is issued on letter head it becomes a proof for life time.

If it is mandatory then you've to.

Otherwise, don't mention about ur husband's work experience.

Whatever you put in employment history section (of your husband), you will be asked for the proofs.

You can instead put his work experience details under personal history section and you won't be prompted for the reference letters.

Wow that's a good idea! If I put his work experience under personal history section, then should I just put "N/A" in the employment section? Is that OK?

I myself have not done it as of now (still waiting for my OINP AOR) but I guess I would put something like "Already specified in Personal History Section".

You can also leave it blank instead of N/A . IRCC is usually not concerned with things that do not affect CRS scores, they just want complete disclosure and that we have already done by mentioning employment details in Personal History section.

Re: OINP Chat Group - Ask Any Question.

I have received AOR from Ontario but am starting to doubt certain things. For example, I currently reside in Ottawa, ON but work in Gatineau, QC. Does anyone see this as an issue? I'm sure there are very few cases where people live right on the border of two provinces.

I have seen this scenario in one of threads and it is observed that one province do not usually prioritize such applicants but should not be an issue.

In short, you've to prove your candidature very strongly that why you're opting other province than your existing one.
