I am neither a senior nor an expert.
Quota is for Nominations not NOI. Not all NOI convert to nominations.
OINP has issued 8239 this year. So, the quota thing is not very important.
They issued 1496 in CRS range 439-448 on January 14 but EE draw cut off on 30 Jan was 438. I think its safe to assume 1400 out of 1496 didn't opt for OINP.
Similarly, they issued NOIs to 1072 profiles on May 31 in CRS range 439-469 out of which 300 didn't opt for OINP.
1623 on July 12 in CRS range 439-459 out of which all opted for OINP.
1773 on August 1 in CRS range 435-458 out of which all opted for OINP.
997 on August 15 in CRS range 439-465 out of which 300 wouldn't opt for OINP.
Excluding STS and French guys, 4961 profiles must have applied for OINP.
Including STS and French guys, that number must somewhere be around 6000.
How many would be nominated? I don't know..
With above, I think there'd be at least one more draw
Stay positive! keep your hopes high! Ontario is not the only province.. And the score will fall towards end of the year..
PS: you're at 458.. you'll get ITA in Sept unless something major changes or impacts EE.. m here since January man.. relax.. you'll get there very soon
r u worried now?
Congratulations! Its September for you in August!
