Guys, I need urgent help.
I got my NOI in the 2nd March OINP draw and submitted my application as per the OINP guidelines. I am however facing the same issue, after waiting for more than 2 months, I received an email from OINP that my application status has been changed to - "
Withdrawn by OINP" as they were unable to verify my ECA WES report ( Duplicate was not ordered and sent to OINP as a recipient).
The letter from OINP states -
Subject: Notice of Incomplete Application
Dear Applicant,
Please be advised that the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) has received
your application and the director of the Ontario Immigration Act, 2015 has determined it
is incomplete. Specifically:
- Education – Foreign Degree (ECA Authorization): WES
Applicants to the OINP Human Capital Priorities Stream are required to submit a copy
of their Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) report. You provided a copy of an
ECA report from the World Education Service (WES).
In order to verify the results of your ECA report, we require you to authorize WES to
share your ECA results with OINP. OINP requires this authorization to complete the
assessment of your application.
To authorize WES to share the results of your ECA report you must order a duplicate of
your ECA report at:
https://applications.wes.org/createaccount/login/login. You must
also ensure that “Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program” is indicated as the recipient of
the report.
If you have any specific questions about how to provide authorization to share your ECA
results with OINP, please contact WES directly.
The OINP cannot accept incomplete applications for processing. Your application will
be closed and your payment will be refunded.
You will need to receive a new invitation to apply or notification of interest before
submitting a new application.
For general information and program updates, you can visit our website at:

Thank you for your interest in the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program.
Sincerely,
Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program
Ministry of Labour, Training and Skills Development
What best can be done in this case to avoid this scenario? I have ordered the duplicate ECA copy rom WES to be sent electronically to OINP (which only takes 24 hrs). I'm confused why OINP didn't give me the chance to submit this pending document and instead went ahead and withdrew my application?
Can I write back to them asking them to reconsider since they can get the required document in 24hrs only?
Please help! Looking forward to a positive response from you all.
