Totally agree !!! It doesn't make sense to decline if one had already got an ITA. From Ontario's stand point, they want to nominate someone who already has an ITA. They are competing for that Human resource and ideally they should be selling as to why the candidate should decline an ITA and accept a Ontario's nomination. From what i have seen in this forum, there isn't a strong selling point from Ontario.

10 days is a safe estimation (including weekend). For example it took 7 days for me, but you can see others getting nomination the day after DIP, it depends!
You can't claim points for those not willing to provide details. As there is a need for verification of them being physically settled in Canada. The only solution is convince them to provide details or else don't claim their points.
Good Luck!

Hello Bill, why is it that every time I see you have posted something, I have a little heart attack, wishing for any kind of news
Have a nice dayHey guys,
I got the OINP interest letter a couple days back. Now, since the application would require a sum of CAD 1500, a substantial amount for me, I would like to clarify a couple things before I proceed. Appreciate your responses.
I do satisfy the eligibility criteria in all respects, but there are couple things that might have an impact later on in the process.
Details:
Education
I have a Canadian equivalent of a Masters, the details of which I have used in the EE application.
I also have a Canadian equivalent of a Bachelors degree, for which, I took two extra years to complete. I have not used that info in the EE application simply because it was not necessary. I do not intend to hide it though, when asked for it.
Work Experience
2.5 years (July 2012 to Jan 2015) - NOC 2173.
Sine Jan 2015, I haven't had a regular job per se. The time has been spent travelling, working on an odd freelance project, or basically just living off my savings and working on business ideas and testing them.
Questions:
Thanks again and have a good day!

Questions:
- In your opinion/experience, how much of an impact will these two facts have on the likelihood of a nomination?
- In case I am not greatly interested in working the NOC 2173 job after I arrive, and would just like to wing it and see what works out best for me and then decide on future course. How should I handle it during this entire process?
Thanks again and have a good day!

Hahaha. The only news at the moment is Nominations are coming this Friday. Hopefully, applicants waiting since Mid-May are expected to get Nominated. In the last 10 days almost everyone I know have got Procedural Fairness Letter and this indicates they are processing those applications now.
My friend sent Screenshots of Declined ITA on June 20 and His status is back to Decision in Progress today. So, hopefully he will be getting Nomination by this Friday as well.
Good Luck!
For Education you need to prove equivalency of atleast Bachelor for OINP. So, if you are claiming Masters then it should be fine. You can add Bachelor under Othet Activities and explain this in Letter of Explanation.
For experience just stick with your NOC 2173 and show this as your primary NOC and intended to work in as well. If you indicate that you want to work in different NOC then there are high chances that OINP will reject your application. There is nothing to worry if you are unemployed and looking actively for job.
Once you receive PR and done with your documentation in Canada, you can choose to do job of your own choice.
I hope this will help.
oh, i am accustomed at not being noticed
even when I sit in a bar, the waiters never seem to see me...hahaha, so is no wonder OINP has not noticed me yet 
Thank you for your good wish
