Ontario Express Entry - Received PT Notification of Interest from Ontario

[rajkamalmohanram]

For those waiting on the PT notification, I would highly suggest withdrawing the profile and resubmitting it. I had initially submitted for EE on 22 july 2015. Waited for over 2 months and no PT. Finally withdrew and resubmitted the profile on 6th October and i got PT on 8th October. Its worth a try!

I had submitted my profile on 26th Sep. No PT till date. I withdrew and recreated my profile today. Hoping for a PT. NOC 2174. 410 CRS .

Hopefully you do get PT in the next few days. I have a score of 421. I think its just a matter of time! so fingers crossed

On a side note, how long did it take for your profile to become "Open". I created mine this morning and it has been over 10 hours, still my status shows "Pending Additional Criteria". I checked with a few others and they do not seem to have this problem. Even last time, I had the same trouble.

It took probably a full 24 hours. I was initially panicking when it showed pending, but give it some more time. It should update.

I created my EE profile today, and am at 429. I selected Ontario + All other provinces when creating the profile - should I withdraw and select only Ontario if I am hoping for a nomination from Ontario? Or is this fine?

And I noticed on this thread that some people received a PT after recreating their profile - should I do this?

My scores would go up after I get my PGDip certificates some time in Jan next year - but am worried EE program may end/drastically change its functioning after Dec this year - hence the hope for a Provincial Nomination. :

Thanks, guys.

When did you create your EE profile?

For me the bottom line is that for those who don't have a PT yet, keep resubmitting until you get one; at least twice or once a month.

I believe it's an automated system that scans the pool for eligible applicants and picks them based on the primary criteria (CRS=400, etc.) plus some other undisclosed ones like NOC, etc. When a profile is scanned but not picked, I think that profile is not scanned anymore on subsequent runs.

I resubmitted 4 times since June and only got my PT on Sept. 4.

Hi T365

Can you elaborate on the resubmitting part. Do I delete my old profile and submit a new one? Or make an entirely new GC key and submit with that?

Yes! Withdraw your portfire. Create a new GC key and create a new profile!

Hi T365

Can you elaborate on the resubmitting part. Do I delete my old profile and submit a new one? Or make an entirely new GC key and submit with that?

Sure. For me I resubmitted using the same GCkey (just withdrew the active profile), and using a brand new GCkey. My latest resubmission was a brand new GCkey.
If you ask me I don't think it matters whether it's old or new GCkey, as long as you resubmit using a new EE number. But to be safe go with resubmitting using a brand new GCkey.

I'd recommend to not revoke the old GCkey until the new one is 100% active.

When did you create your EE profile?

My profile was created on 15 August 2015.

 

[shashidhar_sm]

My profile was created on 15 August 2015.

Congrats, Tarun. BTW, did you withdraw and create your profile again as well, like the others here?

And a question to others too: Has Ontario shown interest in NOC 2171 in issuing PTs recently?
