I understand.. but that solely depends on candidate as well.. because one will get Nomination approval request in EE profile.. & one has some 30/60 days to accept it.. so when one accepts that is also a question (and I am sure most would accept it immediately).. plus there might be cases where one gets nomination but in meantime also receives ITA directly..so he relinquishes his nomination.. although this number would be very very very small.. just some logical deductions..
Yes but i agree to your point.. how many have accepted nomination out of approved ones is a good indicator as well..
Wait wait wait, don't confuse nomination with notification of interest. After you create your EE profile, if your data matches ontario's demands you will receive an interest request not a nomination. Only after you choose to create your one-key profile and submitted then you can evidently confirm that you have "accepted" their request. Even if you created your profile and haven't submitted doesn't really indicate that you have accepted their request, that is why you have a 14 day limit to submit. Then and only then after you have submitted and your profile has been evaluated through the stages: Submitted, Assessment, Decision in Progress, Submission of Additional Documents Request (varies), Approval/Refused. Once you received an approval, your EE profile will show that you can accept or reject the provinces nomination. This is the only time, evidently that you have been nominated by the province. When you accept (by clicking accept in your EE profile), then your score will show a 600 addition (within 24 hours or earlier).
But ultimately, it is a personal choice to make, yes, it can happen that when you accept an interest request and create your profile, a draw occurs. But I'll say that if you spent your 1500$, you must have either been reviewing the trends, this thread, and applied the risk/rewards too. In my case, I followed through with OINP because my indicators were the last two draws. But at the end of the day, you have to be willing to utilize every legal option available.
