You don't need to show funds if you are invited to apply under CEC.
Hi Raj,

I got my OINP nomination and then I got an ITA. I had applied under CEC stream, so just to confirm - I am still CEC candidate right?

Hi Guys, Is the Ontario PNP accepting applications now. I am registered for EE and was under the impression that Ontario nominates people from EE profiles.

Please can anyone confirm if OINP is open now and if I should refresh my key to get a nomination.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks Raj!

What should I put in the form which asks for how much money I am bringing in? Do I leave it at zero?
Yes, if you were invited to apply under CEC (You can check this in the ITA letter) OR you applied under PNP AND you were and are still eligible under CEC, you can mention it as zero and explain this in a LOE.

You are a PNP candidate (technically). However, check this out -

As per section A11.2, PNC applications that come through Express Entry must also meet the requirements of one of the three immigration programs managed through Express Entry (FSWC, FSTC, or CEC).

A candidate may appear to meet the program requirements of more than one federal immigration program. When this occurs, the processing office must only determine that the applicant meets the requirements for one of the federal programs for which they have been tagged. Once the applicant is determined to have met the requirements for one of the federal immigration programs, there is no need for further assessment of the others.

Processing offices should assess PNC applicants for federal programs in the following order:

CEC
FSWC
FSTC


Should the applicant fail to meet the requirements of the first program considered, the processing office should consider the other programs in which the applicant has been tagged until either the applicant meets the requirements of one program or all possible programs in which the applicant has been tagged have been considered.

If it is determined that the applicant does not meet any of the tagged federal immigration programs, the application should be refused under section A11.2. Misrepresentation should also be considered, where applicable.
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/perm/express/refuse.asp

Since you are a PNP candidate, your details will be assessed in the following order CEC >> FSW >> FST. If you are eligible for CEC, the program criteria for CEC would apply to you and one of those criteria is not having to show funds.

Question - I got OINP Nomination on 1st Nov 2016, got ITA on 3rd November 2016.
Accepted ITA, now have 35 days to submit to the application.

But due to technical reasons at CIC payment option, i want to decline the accepted ITA and re-enter the pool.

is there a possibility to decline the ITA, ONCE you have accepted it.

There is no "Accepting ITA". I believe anytime before submission, you can click on the "Decline Invitation" button on your e-APR.

Thank you Raj! I was confused about this because as you said, technically I am a PNP candidate. Even for OINP, I selected CEC stream. I have been working in Canada for more than 2 years now (same job) so I will meet all the CEC criteria. Do you think it will be confusing for the officer if I submit POF documents and still write a LOE saying i don't need to show funds as i am a CEC candidate? Please advice as I have been really confused about this.

Thank you!

Hello Raj,

I was nominated by OINP on 21-Nov-2016 (4-Jan-2015 applicant) and currently waiting for ITA. The name of police station is incorrect in my passport. I cannot decide whether I should change my passport and apply for PCC with new passport. I was wondering if you could answer the following questions that are currently floating in my mind:

1. Is incorrect police station on my passport going to be an issue? The PCC I am going to receive will show the correct police station's name (based on my national ID) even though my passport is showing incorrect police station.

2. Should continue the rest of the process with my current passport that has incorrect police station?

2. If I change my passport, do I have to inform OINP?

I would really appreciate your thought on this.

Thank you in advance.

Has anyone here received a procedural fairness letter and got passed successfully? or could you introduce if you know someone here.
I would need to share my docs with them.

Thanks,

Not required, IMO. You can just update EE profile with the new PP number and submit a LOE in e-APR mentioning that you changed the PP for XX reason.

I would really appreciate your thought on this.


These are country-specific question so I'm afraid I would not be the best person to answer them. Post your questions in a thread that comprises of applicants from your country - They might have some experiences/answers to share.

However, as a general rule, anything that is wrong on a PP should be corrected.

Thank you in advance.

Either way, you can write a LOE mentioning that you are a CEC candidate and you are exempt from POF requirement. The officer is certainly not going to reject your application if you submit funds :) .

Thank you, Raj! I think just to make it simple, I am going to write the amount I have in my bank accounts here since I already have a statement from the bank. I will also add an LOE explaining why I don't need POF (for CEC) and the amount is less than $12000. What do you think?

Thanks again!

Hey Guys, I got my ITA today. I am applying for my corrected passport tomorrow (name of police station in my passport is incorrect). I will get new passport next week and then I can apply for new PCC against the new passport which will take another week. Should I go ahead and submit with my current passport (with incorrect police station name) or just wait two weeks for new passport and new PCC?

Would it be an issue if I change my passport details and re-upload PCC after submitting my application?
