PNP (OINP) and ITA(EE)

[Jawad Talib]

Hope anybody can advise me on below:

I have secured 461 points under EE and very much likely to receive an ITA in next draw. On September 28, I also received PNP notification from Ontario. They are asking me to pay 1500$ to process my case quickly under PNP program.

1. My question, do I need to pay the regular federal immigration fee around 2300$ (since I have 3 dependants) as well, after I pay 1500$ for PNP?
2. Should I go for PNP, as I plan to move to Canada in June in any case?
3. Is there any other benefit, other than fast processing, if I opt to pay 1500$ for PNP?

Thanks in advance.

Don't get the PNP anymore. OINP right now is taking too long to go through their applications and it's taking more than 2 months just to get AOR + more than 3 months for processing. Just accept the ITA under FSWP when you get it.

FYI, it's only a one-time fee of $1500 for OINP regardless of number of dependents (the CIC/federal fees will be separate). But still, you don't need to apply to a PNP with your score.

Yea - Thanks Bellaluna. This will help me to decide.

So in short, the only benefit I was assuming for fast processing, is not actually the case. I wonder, if you could confirm any other benefit that I might enjoy, if I ever want to go with PNP instead of Federal ITA.
