Dear q126,g126 said:Hi Julia,
Well it's a different system, so they recheck the important stuff and ask you for extra stuff.
OINP (Provincial/State) takes from 2 to 6 months... after that, if you get the nomination, then you get the required points to be eligible to apply. When that happens CIC (federal) will send you an ITA (Invitation To Apply) via MyCIC (all electronic). Once you receive this you'll need accept and then you'll get instruction on your eAPR. The eAPR will basically be you scanning in a bunch of documents and uploading them to the specific site...
As far as I know it's all done on the MyCIC site (where you registered your profile). Once you enter the eAPR stage it can take form 1 to 6 months, a lot will depend on how quick you upload your documents and if they are all ok... They will do a much more extensive background check on you than the provinces do, so this is what takes the longest. This is because the province is only really interested on how much of a positive impact you'll bring to their economy, so they only really care about your past employment and education, where as CIC cares about your impact on society (so they will emphasize their checks on your criminal side - that being said if they catch inconsistencies on your professional/personal history side then it raises red flags, as you may be dishonest or trying to hide something, and this will certainly delay processing)...
Hope this helps!
Thanks for your answer.
All I need is patience)
Best regards,
