[KingFloyd]

Hello everyone. I plan on applying for OINP after getting a certificate of Qualifications from the College of Trades.I do not have a college degree.I only have 283 points on CRS. Do I have any chances of getting a OINP through my skilled trade (electrician) ?
Please help me so I don't waste my time and money.

hi,
I am a PR with OINP and want to check does OINP mandates to live as well as work in Ontario?

My current employer has an office in Montreal and there are chances that I can move internally (same employer) and continue my work in Canada.

So is it legit to work in Qubec and live in Ontario with OINP?

Appreciate quick help.

Thank you.

Hello mcassim87,
Did you hear from ONIP yet?. As for me I'm still in DIP for 45 now. 75 days since I submitted my application and no nomination yet.
I pray we get our nominations soon.
Best Regards,

Anyone with 400+ is normally eligible to receive NOI. It was just in recent months that ICT workers were more likely to receive NOI, and in the last week of June, Ontario issued NOIs to ICT workers under 400. Unfortunately they paused the HCP stream on July 25, meaning that since then, they have not been issuing any NOIs, and even those of us with existing NOIs who missed the July 25 deadline cannot apply. With only 988 nominations for 2017 remaining as of September 11, it is unlikely that they will issue more NOIs this year. However, they will need to by January 25 because all existing NOIs will have expired by then and they will have 2018 quota.

My situation is quite similar to yours. I also missed the 7-25 opportunity as I was still preparing the documents. The waiting really suffers, any update or message on when the hcp stream registration will re-open?

I feel your pain and suffering, very very acutely! Every day I hit the updates page multiple times, as well as having an automated visualping process, and I log in at least once a day to check if the HCP application button is still grayed out.
http://www.ontarioimmigration.ca/en/pnp/OI_PNPNEW.html
The last applications were submitted on August 6, and at least the processing times still say 30 to 60 days, so I hope at least there will be an update on the number of nominations remaining by October 10, when they should be updating their processing times. At that time we should have a better idea of when they will reopen HCP stream:

Helo all

I was just going through this forum so a question came to my mind.

Many ppl use the word "applying in OINP".
What does that mean.
As far as my case goes. My CRS is 408. The moment I crossed 400 mark my consultant resubmitted the profile in Fed Skill worker so that it comes ahead in the que. this was done in July 17.
now if Ontario find my profile interesting and NOC matching with their occupation in demand then they will issue NOI. then only I can apply for Ontario PNP.

Is my understanding correct or there's more to it??

Would appreciate revert.
Cheers.

You are correct. You will need to receive NOI from Ontario before you can apply for OINP. Unfortunately as of July 25, Ontario has stopped issuing NOIs and taking applications even from those of us with NOIs for the HCP stream, so those of us with unexpired NOIs need to wait for them to reopen the HCP stream before we can apply. When they start issuing NOIs again, you should re-create your profile, because when they are issuing NOIs, they tend to favor recently created profiles.

Thanks for reply.
Unfortunately my profile will expire this November. So I will hv to re create in December. Also I will slip back by 5 points due to age advancement

Let's hope OINP will reopen before your or my NOIs expire, but don't worry, you will still be 400+ after your birthday, so you can reasonably easily get a new NOI after they resume issuing NOIs. I'm not so lucky. I will drop 11 points to 399 on my birthday in February. Unless they start issuing NOIs to ICT workers under 400 again as they did in the last week of June, I will no longer be eligible to receive NOI.

Hi,

My EE profile was created on 1st August 2017. Is it required to recreate my profile just to be sure that I will get NOI if OINP opens again ?

No need to do it now. Wait for OINP to re-open for issuing NOI. They will update it on their website as to when they will re-open. Once they update, that is when you shall need to recreate your profile.

Till then, Keep Calm & Keep Checking!!
