Haha yes I did ask them when's the next 'batch' and whether I'll be selected sooner? lolGood for you for calling OINP to clarify these issues.
I am otherwise humbled for being corrected.
For this year however, it seems like they have a pattern for sending NOIs at the start of the year and in the middle of the year (Of course, the dates are yet to be constant.) That's what I meant by saying that they seem to have a pattern.
I hope you asked them when they are going to send out the next batch of NOIs though?![]()
He said he can't confirm.
Anyways, if you look at their published Invitation summary, they do seem to calculate the NOI at the end of each period.
I think this is mainly because they have very extensive paper work after with each NOI applicant.
Notice this NOI batch pattern - For example:
FSSW: 31 May, 2018
Number of NOIs issued: 45
Date Express Entry profile submitted:
January 1, 2018 to May 31, 2018
FSSW 24 May, 2018
Number of NOIs issued: 34
Date Express Entry profile submitted:
January 1, 2018 to May 24, 2018
Notice how they've only issued 11 additional NOIs - within 7 days difference? They're pretty slow I guess!
Also notice those lucky people who submitted their profile just between 24th May & 30th May !!! They're super lucky, they got a NOI within less than a week of EE profile creation!
