Guys! Re-creating profile for PT is for real. Ontario has made it official!

http://www.ontarioimmigration.ca/en/pnp/OI_PNPNEW.html

So, those of who haven't received a PT yet, go ahead and recreate your profile and get a PT.

Good luck and all the very best!!

Bumping this thread for everyone's benefit.

Also, anyone else out there with significant self-employment? I'm having a bit of trouble about documenting a year of my life (the past year, in fact), during which I've been providing professional services to clients through an intermediary company on a contractual basis (oral agreements, unfortunately) and was paid in cash. Still within grace period to file taxes and probably won't be getting to it before filing the OINP application. I can get a sort of LOR from the intermediary company re: the compensation and the matters worked on their behalf but am a bit unsure about how to document the hours worked. I'm thinking about including average hours per week but will Ontario buy that? The whole full time and part time thing doesn't make much sense for self-employed people and solo proprietors.

Anyone with similar experiences or anyone out there with suggestions?
