( I think it was Dedicated who wanted to know if that was possible)
Congratulations!
Yeah. It was me asking that question.
But is there any chance they check your profile while processing your case (or something) and find this discrepancy? Or do they never look at your EE profile in the system at all?

I mean it's technically feasible to switch between languages. No question about that. But is it acceptable?
If I were them I would revoke the NOI.

That's what keeping from switching. my score changed from 445 to 383 when I put the french. I can see how this would be appealing to someone who has a chance in the federal. I would say it's better not to risk it.


btw guys, how does aor look like, and does aor means the we're able to cash the check?

Subject header: Acknowledgement XFSW-XXXXXXX *

Body: The Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program has received your application. Please see attached for details.

Thank you for your interest in our program.


* The appointment of the file number means your application has been accepted for processing.

And then there will be 2 attached files, one is the AOR and the other is the fee receipt, so yes, they've deposited the check by this point.

I would not recommend switching back to the old profile once you receive PT with French as first language. They insist of getting updated every time something changes in your profile and a letter explaing why you updated your profile. Suppose they granted you the chance to apply because you listed French as your first language. switching back will amount to misrepresentation which could cost you the nomination. Unless Christina4 received another PT after switching back to English as first language. if you decide to go the PNP nomination way, you shouldn't worry if your CRS decreases because in the French skilled worker stream, it does not matter. Anyway, that's my view.

Aal_ ,the AOR emaill comes with two attachments: one is the receipt of the cashing of your $1500 (DD)
and the other one is the acknowledgement of receipt which contains your case no and file number detals. Below is the content of what I received. I will remove personal info:

Case Number: XFSW-16-121XXXXX
File Number: XFSW-1606XXX
Subject: Receipt of Nominee Application
Dear XXXXXX,
This letter acknowledges that the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) received
your nominee application package on XXXXX, 2016.
Your application was reviewed to confirm that it is complete and has been forwarded for
assessment. OINP will notify you when your application moves to the assessment phase
and again when your application moves to the decision phase. You will also be contacted
directly should we require any additional information to assess your application.
Please be advised that the program is currently in receipt of a large volume of applications
and processing times are longer than usual. We assure you that we are working diligently to
process applications as expediently as possible.
We kindly request that you wait until after you receive notification that your application has
moved to the assessment phase before contacting the OINP to inquire about the status of
your application. This will allow our staff time to focus on processing applications to the
program.
If you are a candidate through one of the Ontario Express Entry streams, please note
that your Express Entry profile must remain up-to-date throughout all processing stages
of your application. Candidates for the Ontario Human Capital Priorities stream must
also continue to maintain a score of 400 points or above in the Express Entry
Comprehensive Ranking System.
Should your Express Entry profile - for which Ontario’s Notification of Interest was
issued - expire or be removed from the Express Entry system, and should you wish to
continue with your OINP application using a new profile, you must email the following to
our office within 30 calendar days of this letter:
 The Express Entry number/job seeker validation code for your new profile;
 A copy of the letter you received from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship
Canada (IRCC) acknowledging the new profile;
 A letter explaining why you updated your profile; and
A list of the additional or updated information you provided in your new Express
Entry profile.
If you are currently working or residing in Ontario, please be advised that you are
responsible for remaining in legal status in Canada throughout all processing stages of
your application. It is your responsibility to renew, extend or apply for proper temporary
resident status in Canada throughout your stay in the country even after you are
nominated.
Please be advised that this letter acknowledging receipt of your application cannot be
used to extend your legal status in Canada.
If you need to depart Canada because you no longer have valid status or because your
status will not be renewed by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada, please
send the OINP office a completed and signed Change of Personal Information form.
You should outline the details of your situation in this form and include a current email
address.
The Change of Personal Information form applies to any changes that you may need to
make to your application during processing, for example a change of address or other
information that may impact your application.
Thank you for your interest in the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program. Please retain
this letter for your records.
Sincerely,
Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program
Ministry of Citizenship and Immigration
Government of Ontario

Yes, all correspondence from OINP is via email and not MyCIC.
The only time OINP has activity with your MyCIC account is when they finally send the nomination.

PS: Thanks to Damocles, looks like I have an outdated version of the AOR. ;)

yeah, Confusing!

:-X first phase is to check completeness of application package.I believe now (after AOR) they just put it in the tray of application to be processed. When an officer start the actual processing, then only they will inform you. also the same when it reach the decision phase. I counted 3 phases.

ps. Thanks for your support bellaluna! Though you have already landed, you continue to help, assist and inform us. Your experience is very valuable to us as you have an insight to the whole process. We, on the other hand, are just guessing. Please continue to enlighten us on the process.

Thanks Bingolion. Hope you find a solution soon enough for your DD. OINP is in a working mood right now :p We never know when they might slow down again. A matter of 1 day may put us in the wrong batch and it might become an eternal wait

Congrats to all for the AOR. Let's stick together! :)

Personally, I feel that not receiving NOI with French as a 2nd language is a glitch in their NOI issuing system! Whether French or English is 1st or 2nd language, you still know both of them and have secured honourable scores in the international exams, which makes you eligible for the French Stream.

If you are still unsure, maybe you can send a case specific inquiry to OINP? Your score is very good, it will be a pity to blow $1500 + delay the process unnecessarily. On the other hand, OINP has picked up speed (at least for issuing AOR to our batch) ...

Good luck in whichever way you choose.

I think I will wait a couple of draws and then send them an email regarding this issue if the cut-off score does not gradually come down. Thanks for the advice!
