Hi friend.
Chances look bleak, not just for folks below 400, I m just saying in general. There would be tons of folks already in the 400-433 range. In addition, there has not been any NOI(HCP) in over 2 months now and the pool would have new candidates in the 433+ range in case OINP performs another search.
True, but it is possible that 25% of the existing NOIs are already IT based. Plus majority of 1800 Nominations that are carried over from 2017 would be from the July 2017 NOI that was ICT targeted. So, it may be possible that OINP still sends more NOI for this year, but what I meant was there would be a ton of folks with score above 400. Last year scenario was was a little different, with CRS down to a record low and the CRS pool was also less crowded. See, there are 6,000 people only in the 430-440 range. There are many more in 401-430.
They would definitely re-calculate how many spots are left and have paused for a while. lets hope for that, but still 1800 Nominations + 2500 NOIs that alone is 4300. I had read somewhere from 2016<no references handy> that 50% must go to HCP. So, not sure if they will send more or not.
Yes I am.But not everyone who gets NOIs actually gets eventual nomination. I would like to mention that they've announced their multi-year plan (2018-2020) for immigration. However, based on the figures in the link below, you can see that they weren't able to reach their target during the previous years and based on the current draws- I doubt they would do if they continue with the current trend this year.

The figures also do not show the high demand in ICT workers. We'll have yet to see what will be realized in the succeeding draws.. Let's hope for a favorable outcome.
Are you also in ICT?
I think the best thing to do is just wait for the update as it's normal to take even longer for a case to progress. I guess you just have to be patient and keep the 90 days time in mind for any final decision on your application. If you have provided all the required documents, your case should be processed within 90 days, otherwise you may get some ADR or PFL in case there is anything missing in your application. You can see from immitracker (https://myimmitracker.com/en/ca/trackers/ontario-human-capital-priorities-stream-tracker/fullscreen) that the time ranges from a few weeks for some applications to move to assessment while for others it took more than 2 months. So just be patient and hope for the best. Good luck!
There is no harm in writing to them and clarifying your concerns. Time frame could be different for every application but the reply from OINP team would be relevant to your application.
Even if you call you will get a standard reply that it is normal and it is still within 90 days, now it is upto you.
How do you deduce targets were not met from this link? This,IMO, only provides the number of ITAs issued by April compared to the overall target of 2018.
