OOPNP French-Speaking Skilled Workers Stream

[maleeksha]

My sister resides in Ontario, obviously I ticked it. If it had not been the case, I do not think I would have ticked it. From what I've read, it is mostly people with relatives and friends (who are willing to provide their citizenship details) who generally tick this. I might be wrong.

Do let us know how it goes.

Fast question, If my ties to Ontario are none exept the intent to reside, shall I tick it as supporting documents or not. Thanks for advice.

 

[Aal_]

I stand corrected, i shouldn't have done it it seems .

Do you think my application will have issues if i ticked it? I thought this is the letter of intent checkbox :'(.

 

[vensak]

thanks a lot for advice. I will keep that one not ticked.

Another info that might be usefull when trying to make payment to ontario. In some countries like in continental europe bank draft is mission impossible.
What can be still done is bank cheque
Now the catch is that they do insist on sending address. But here is a way ho to get it
1. Go tobank that does bank cheques - ideally your bank
2. You must have account there with enough money to send 1500 cad + fees for sending and keeping account until money are cashed (if that is not your normal bank)
3. You shall ask to money transfer on address. For people i eu it is so called non sepa swift transfer on address.
4. Normally banks takes your instructions and sends out cheque to the specified address so the other person can collect the money. But you can ask bank to send the cheque on your home address or directly to your bank (that cheque is usually prepared somewhere in central bank office so it will take some time). with this specific request you can omit any aditional data on the cheque and make it as requested (just the name of the position on it)

It took me like an hour to go through those instructions but at the end the bank employee has filled transfer request and they said me to come in 3 to 4 days to colect the cheque. So i hope this method will worn and i will be able to go through.
And dont forget also
The fee payment shall be OUR (fees for money transfer) and the amount shall be 1500 cad.

Too bad ontario still woks with such old ways of payment.

No AOR yet :'( :'(

So if an application got rejected, how much time does it take to reach us. do they send it by courier?

I just want AOR to get on with my life, I'm stressing out!

 

[morice]

After receiving the AOR, OINP will start evaluating your application... how long will this take??? that's the biggest question... :
There are some applicants who have not received any email for AOR, but got email for Decision Phase directly. (For Human Core Priorities)
As at today October 2016, I guess no one has received Nomination for OINP French Speaking Skilled Workers Stream. (Correct me if I'm wrong...!!!)
Wish we could have some positive response very very soon.
Lot's of patience indeed...

This is rather difficult to answer as we have no idea how big backlog did they still have.
From what I have seen from those fast provinces, it takes maybe 3 to 4 weeks to do the assessment part (if there are holidays around count more of course). If there are doubts or more documents needed it takes longer.
But the backlog until September was terrible. They have just now started nominating people that have sent out their documents beginning of January.
On a bright side the main programms were stopped in February (with only French stream, Corporate and 1 more remaining) and they managed to nominate lot of candidates in September and October. That does give hope, that they might actually come to the French stream ones somewhere around January.
To have idea how is it going, track the feedback from OINP January and Feruary candidates batch.

I guess you are wrong, if there was anybody mixed in those earlier batches that actually got invitation in the French stream he was most likely nominated as well. It might just be that it is not in our list but in one of those older ones.

And again one other positive sign is the speed of giving out AOR (3 weeks instead of 3 to 4 months).

Dear klinda,

I totally agree with Aal_, you have a pretty decent CRS score and you may even directly get an ITA on the next draws with that.

Besides, your documents were sent recently (like mines, which even got returned one time on the 3rd of October due to a missing passport page).
So I truly hope & believe that you will get the AOR with our friend Aal_ who has similar timelines as mine. The process is faster now compared to the 6-months AOR waiting time of before.

Please stand tall and don't lose your hope. This is true for all of us. We're in the same boat of hope and hopefully all of us will get good news sooner or later.

After all, everything starts with a dream 8)

Hi morice,

If you look at our list, you will notice that we have one person from the French-Speaking Skilled Workers Stream that has received nomination => BC4Life.

Also you might have missed an answer of this on earlier post (http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/oopnp-frenchspeaking-skilled-workers-stream-t308586.0.html;msg5487896#msg5487896). according to bellaluna, the starter of this thread has been nominated (helena21).

In addition if you can go by the official statistic of IRCC on the following link : http://www.cic.gc.ca/opendata-donneesouvertes/data/IRCC_EEITA_0005_E.xls
We can see that in Ontario, in their federal skilled worker programs, the number of peoples with French as their first language nominated was 2 in 2015 and 4 between Jan and Jun 2016.
We can safely assume that those people were on the French-Speaking Skilled Workers Stream by the way OINP sends its PT NOIs.
But I stand corrected.

By the way, you can have other types of statistical data from IRCC on this link:

http://open.canada.ca/data/en/dataset/593e9165-c6ce-4f9b-b519-03d315f92cd4

I hope this info was useful.

Hello All (& Aal_ ),

I just came across this ready made list for post ITA steps. It's very detailed.

http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/ready-reference-steps-to-follow-and-documents-to-arrange-post-ita-t455826.0.html

As far as I can see, there's only the police certificate and medical tests that will be required for us, since we already have most docs when we submitted our application to OINP.

Maybe we can already inquire about the medical tests & Police certificate for our respective countries (booking, how long to get appointment, costs etc.). We can then trigger it all as soon as we receive our nomination.
I even plan on getting a blood test for my spouse and me, right now. If there are any issues,like diabetes or high cholesterol, i'll have enough time to get it all under control. And of course, the lazy ones like me can start exercising regularly too!

Well , I think we must make a list of all the additional types of documents they ask and in what circumstances so that we can prepare ourselves or even pre-empt the request by sending them already. Like the ECA for example. Maleeksha seems to have surveyed a lot of other forums and has a deep grasp of the things to do to make our application smooth(an overview) . Let's ask her to send a post with a kind of a list of thinks that we can do to speed up our way to nomination.
Anyone else with ideas and experience can contribute. I am sure there are other forums out there that talk about different topics that we will highlight in summarized list that we will produce. a link to them will be appreciated to have an in depth understanding of each point raised.

What do you think guys?
