Hey @Niroys2023! My profile expired last week. I created a new profile and sent them an email on the same day. OINP responded and updated my new profile the next day! In some cases, I heard they took a week to respond. But if it takes more than that, definitely call or email them.
OINP Human Capital Priority Stream May 5 2023 Draw- Timelines
- Thread starter ImpatientDragon
- Start date
Hi guys, I saw that 2 days before, profile submissions from12-15may were nominated and then yesterday two guys with 16th and 17th may were nominated, so my question is that the oinp are targeting multiple days at once. Is there a particular pattern. Can someone explain ? I am asking this because my profile submission was on 30th May and my profile will expire on 02 September.
If you have someone in North America who can call OINP then use them, but I recommend you do it yourself.
To talk yourself, do this:
Create a Microsoft account, then sign into Skype.
Get a skype North American unlimited subscription, the first month is free. After that it's 560 per month. Click this Link.
Download the skype app for smartphone and sign in, navigate to Settings > Calling > Caller ID > Enable Caller ID.
Verify using a North American (US/Canada) Phone number, to do that use online SMS receiving these services: link 1, link 2, link 3, link 4, or any other like these.
You need to verify caller ID in skype with a North American Number, Indian or any other number won't do because they don't pickup outsider calls.
You can get their phone numbers from the OINP website.
Call them (at an appropriate hour Eastern Time) on Monday, skip the automated response and get to an actual human. Sound serious and concerned in your tone, you'll either receive relieving news or you'll get closure. Either way, it's not worth be hung out to dry like this for this long. So call them anyway you can.
Thank me later with a beer when you get to Toronto.

From what I understand the photograph specs are the same. But OINP isn't that particular about specs when it comes to photo according to my agent. So I will have to retake it. My guess is that the photo you submit is what is printed on the visa so it has to be according to specs.
35*45 size for EE. Please double-check.
50*70 is for PR card.
For express entry and PR card, photograph specification is different
This is my understanding. If you find it wrong please update.
35 mm x 45 mm is required for e-APR. (Digital photo for uploading)
50 mm x 70 mm is required after PPR. (Physical hard copy to be sent to your visa office)

Hi all -
OINP has requested for additional docs of my spouse passport and detailed proof of funds. I uploaded them and clicked submit but since then the icon has become green(Which was red triangle earlier) but can't see the blue icon which shows uploaded documents yet.
Just worried if they are successfully uploaded. Status also says 'Awaiting Information '. Does it take time to change as it has been a week now?
Below are the dates:
NOI: May 5 2023
Submitted: Jun 7 2023
Assessment: Jul 17 2023
Additional documents requested: Aug 18 2023
Additional documents submitted: Aug 21 2023

I think we will start seeing nominations for people submitted on May 17 onwards next week. I submitted May 24 and in DIP since july 12th so fingers crossed, If your profile expire, create a new one and contact OINP. No issue with that. they will link your new profile to the OINP application.
