Ontario hasn't indicated they are participating so please expect the work permit application to be refused. If your current work permit is expiring soon, please make sure you apply for a visitor record before that happens so that you don't fall out of status.
Thanks for your reply. I have applied for visitor record before my expiry so I am maintaining the status.
Also, regarding the policy, it is also stated that "I hereby establish that there are sufficient public policy considerations that justify the granting, in accordance with section 25.2 of the Act, exemptions from the requirements of the Regulations listed below to foreign nationals who meet the conditions set out below." - I understand it was like a federal announcement that's announced in a quick span.
However, If i have a good enough score that I only need to work for an year to get enough points for CEC, does it not make sense?
FYI Everything else checks out in terms of eligibility, employer, job offer etc
Thanks again!
