Hi Guys, I created my express entry profile in middle of march 2016, there have been 2 express entry draws after that. My score is 418 pts.
I have not yet received letter of interest from Ontario, any update or suggestions?
also would any recommend me deleting my profile and re creating it again, please suggest......
OINP - At 418 you are eligible to receive PT NOI from Ontario. Lately, there has been a temporary hiatus in Ontario sending out PTs. It seems OINP is clearing the backlog which they have accumulated since November (as they had to process Syrian refugee applications). Post this, which I assume would be May 2016 onwards, they would start issuing PTs. My assumption is based on the fact that they have updated OINP settlement funds requirement here http://www.ontarioimmigration.ca/en/pnp/OI_PNPNEW.html. The requirement refers to applications that will be submitted after May 6, 2016.
Improving CRS Score - I am not sure what your IELTS score is. IELTS of the primary applicant plays a very important role in improving CRS score, therefore I would suggest that you should target CLB 9 (LRWS - 8777). You can try these values in the calculator here
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/crs-tool.asp and see for yourself how much of a difference IELTS makes to your CRS score. If you are able to improve your score, may be you could get invited directly.
Other PNPs - For other PNPs check this link http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/provincial/apply-who.asp
I would not suggest recreating your profile now, especially when Ontario is not sending PTs. In case you get to hear from the forum that Ontario has been sending PTs and you do not get one, then you can consider recreating your profile.
