I called the OINP office today to enquire about my application.
The guy asked me my name and looked me up in the system.
He said nothing at all helpful, just that my application was in the system.
I told him that I am currently working in Canada and my visa is expiring soon. I also said that I saw online that they are prioritizing inland CEC applications and could he give me any information on that? He replied:
"If it says that on the internet, then yes, we are probably doing that"
I really wish they were more transparent
