This is my timeline as of now. It has been more than 8.5 months since i submitted my application:
EOI (Expression of Interest) - January 16th, 2024
Invitation Received: March 12, 2024 (General draw for Employer Job Offer – International Student stream)
Application Submitted: March 26, 2024
Assessment Stage: July 03, 2024.
DIP Stage: Moved to the DIP stage between July 10th and July 15th, 2024
July 22, 2024 : Updated Address and my Pay rate via Web form (as it went up to $28 from $22) : As OINP tells to update the address on file as soon as you do so I did the same. In addition to that, I didn't see any issues in declaring a higher income as it doesnt impact my OINP score negatively, instead it would have gone up only.
October 08th : status changed to "Additional processing time needed"
