You think they will resume pre screen in next month ?

You think they will resume pre screen in next month ?

yes i think so because they have paused intake of master and phd streams( as well as express entry stream.) Also on their facebook page they have mentioned that they gonna start paused stream in coming months. So i feel they might start taking applications in April. I advice you do be active as if it opens, it will not open for long time. Good luck.

Also They have to open it. Because PNP is the only resort for people with diploma only. They are not eligible for Human Capital Stream.

I hope you are right, if yes, you will be my new best friend !

Also i found on OINP page have two years of relevant work experience in the last five years, or the relevant mandatory licensing in Ontario for a regulated occupation.

My eccupation is not regulated, so that means that i have to have 2 years of experience in Ontario?, because i am on IEC now, and my employer is willing to help me, but i dont have 2 years of work in Ontario

Yes, that means you have to have 2 years of experience in same occupation. It can be foreign experience as well. how about Express Entry? What is your CRS?

 

[Weststarr]

Without OINP is 425, my occupation is not regulated in Ontario, and my employer wants to help me stay here, so he is willing to apply for pre-screen but i want OINP to be sure to get EE. End thats why i am asking do i need 2 years exp in Ontario, if he is applying for me?

you need to have 2 years experience in same occupation which can be from anywhere in the world.. not only from ontario. As long as you have 2 years experience from anywhere in the world , you are eligible and your employer can apply for pre screening as soon as it opens. But It is your responsibility to take care of work visa until you are nominated by the province.
Also let me make clear that this category is not for express entry. that means you wont get 600 Points for this. Once you get nominated , you can do paper application. So it is totally different process from express entry.

But i will still get PR ? or only temporary work permit ? after pre-screen

Once Pre screen is approved, Then you will file nomination to Ontario. Once you get nominated by province, You can apply for permanent residence under Provincial Nominee Class Which takes around 15 months processing time. However, Once you get nominated, you can extend your work permit until decision is made on your PR application.
