OINP - International Students with Job Offer

[JinandMango]

Hi folks,

I recently got a new job and asked my employers if they are willing to support my PR, and they said yes! At this point, the only way they can support me is OINP Int. students with Job Offer, and I heard that it takes more than 2 years to complete. I know it "says" it will take only a year in CIC website, and will be faster since they are changing it to online system, but I doesn't really sound promising. On top of this, the fee for application is $1500.
I am currently at CRS 430s, but will be 470s next year.
My question is - do you guys think it is worth to apply for OINP? 470s sounds promising and I don't want to bother my employer and waste $1500.

Also, I graduated in April 2014 so I won't be eligible to apply for OINP - Int students in 2-3 months. but if I am understanding it correctly, I can still apply for OINP foreign worker category as soon as I have 2 years work experience, right? And the process seems quite similar.


I need your help experts! Thanks in many!!

If I were you this what I would do:

Apply for OINP while I can! I know its $1500, but you dont want to regret not applying for it (and it will be too late)
with 470 ich next year you should be able to get an ITA for sure (according to this year's trend) scores seem to be low.

Thats what I would do!

The score for Invitations might drop to 430's you never know!

Good luck!

Isn't ONIP still on pause?

I am not sure if OINP has reopened yet?

OINP isn't opened yet - I am asking assuming that it is opened.
Speaking of which, when do you guys think it will re-open?
