Hello every one ,
I got this message from Ontario on my Express Entry Profile. It is a letter of interest and there was no pdf attachment. It is like the following :
Ontario would like to consider you under their Provincial Nominee Program (PNP)
Dear xxx xxx,
The Government of Ontario is interested in considering you for nomination under its Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) through Express Entry.
If you want Ontario to consider you for nomination under its PNP you must contact Ontario directly after receiving this letter. Note that this letter of interest is not a guarantee that you will be nominated by Ontario. You will first have to satisfy Ontario that you meet the requirements of their program.
You can find general information about each province or territory's PNP program on the website. You will also find a link to Ontario's PNP requirements and contact information.
General information:
If a province or territory nominates you through Express Entry and you accept the PNP nomination you will be allocated an additional 600 points in the Express Entry Comprehensive Ranking System. This means you will likely receive an invitation to apply for permanent residence under the Provincial Nominee Program.
If you accept a nomination, you are indicating to both Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) and that provincial or territorial jurisdiction that you intend to live in that province or territory and that you will comply with any other provincial or territorial program requirements.
Once you accept a nomination, your profile will no longer be visible to other provinces and territories, so you will not be considered for nomination by other jurisdictions. You will also not be considered for federal economic programs in Express Entry.
If a province or territory nominates you and you decline the PNP nomination, you will not be invited to apply under Ontario's nominee program
It is possible to be nominated by more than one province or territory, but you may only accept one nomination.
If you decline the nomination, you will stay in the Express Entry pool of candidates. You will still be eligible to receive invitations to apply under the federal immigration programs (Federal Skilled Worker Program, Federal Skilled Trades Program and/or Canadian Experience Class). As well, other provinces and territories (if applicable) will be able to see your profile for future consideration.
You are not obligated to:
contact a province or territory that is interested in you, or
accept a nomination from a province or territory.
However, if you do not accept a nomination, there is no guarantee that you will be nominated by another province or territory, or that you will be invited to apply under a federal economic program in Express Entry.
A PNP nomination does not guarantee that you are eligible for permanent residence. The final decision to issue a visa or other document for permanent residence rests with IRCC.
Note that, and according to their website updates, Ontario is now considering sending nominations to those who score under 400 in their express entry profile ..
What should i do next ? just create a profile with Ontario pay the fees and wait?
