ONTARIO PNP APPLICATIONS 2016 TIMELINE

[T_Singh]

Here is My Timeline (International student with job offer)

Graduation : Aug 15, 2014
Ontario Pre Screening Application submitted : Jan 25, 2016
AOR for pre-Screening : Feb 25, 2016
Pre Screening Approved: Still Waiting.....

Anyone have idea, how long they will take for pre-screening

Hey it's not pr card we are applying for. Check under economic class and provincial nominee. That is we've it shows 15 months.

And for bowp in the nomination package there's a letter of intent from ontario saying we can apply for bowp until we get a decision from ircc, but the work permit will be a closed one to your employer who has done the process on your behalf.

Hmmm thanks for the information. I don' really mind a closed work permit as long as i can stay. I will be limited to this job until i get my PR, which is ok i guess.
If we apply for PR through pnp, and later on get an ITA from express entry, assuming express entry has faster processing times, what should we do in that case?

When the "official" pre-screen processing time was 3 months. It took 8 months for majority of the people. Now that they have taken away that time, I am not really sure how long its going to take.

I am really not sure about it but the processing times for express entry looks faster compared with this pnp. But on the nomination it says as you have been nominated by ontario your application will receive expedited processing from IRCC. I don't know what does that mean as it doesn't have any specific timeline.

Excellent..Congratulations!!!

Hey Jeshwanth

I think it's better for you to apply for INDIAN PCC ahead of time pretty sure you will get it by OCT and processing time for PCC is around 6 weeks for INDIA

Thanks for the suggestion. I filled all the documents today and postponed to apply PCC for a month. I am going to India for 20 days next Friday. Unfortunately, I cannot submit my passport and work permit to Indian Embassy. I will apply upon my return.

Interesting, I am not sure either. Post it on this thread if you get to know about this. If we get picked up from Express Entry itself, then nomination is pretty much useless.

My company just agreed to do LMIA for me in the meantime PNP is getting processed, as my Work Permit is expiring on 31st December. I am kinda confused on what route to take now.

I think express entry is way faster. This is the current processing time for paper base provincial nomination according to IRCC:

Oh I was putting Experience Class there lol
So I have a question, lets say i get an ITA from Express Entry before I get my nomination or LMIA. Can i just apply through Express Entry?

 

[egoo45]

Yea if you get an ITA go for it! If it pans out and you get your PR just withdraw your applications through the other streams. You'll lose the application fees, but hey that's a small price to pay for ease of mind and maximizing the potential of landing PR.

So my employer commenced the LMIA process last Friday, does anybody know about the processing times of LMIA once an application has been submitted?
Can't seem to find it anywhere on the website, the threads about it here are old and the processing time would have changed by now
