@ vj3171: To tell the truth, I've heard of a few conflicting cases about this. In some, CIC only accepts jointly named accounts between spouses. I'm not sure if OINP will accept this. In others, I've read about CIC accepting the spouse's bank account in the principal applicant's application, as long as there is a letter. I've not heard of any direct cases with OINP yet, but I'd like to assume they try to follow CIC protocol.
@ dan1985: Sorry, I am not sure about this past 5 years/10 years rule from OINP or the nuances of this rule. I take it that the 10 months are fixed and that you are not currently working in this NOC anymore so you will not earn any more time, right? Is there no other NOC from your past 5 years where you have minimum 1 year experience that you can apply as instead?
