I honestly do not know why all y'all are applying for the OINP. Unless you received your Expression of Interest letter at least 4 months ago, what's the point on paying 1500 CAD, not to mention all additional translations and documental charges, to STILL depend on a draw? Afaik, Canada has a goal of approx. 73k ITAs this year, and so far about 30k have been handed out. Unless you have really low scores, I don't see the point. The EOI is valid for 6 months, and it takes time to process, so you might end up tossing 1500 CAD in the trash.

If CIC follow its pattern of DRAWS which is 3 draws per month the number of ITA issued in the next draw will be round about 7k if there is two draws in the month and if not the number of ITA's in the next draw is going to be round about 10k.

Today was just another dissappointing day :(

Im feeling very sad and doing stupid things that i shouldnt be. I tore a document out of frustration :|
Just breathe - remember how the world works - things you want sooooooo bad never seem to happen on our schedule. It will happen in due time that's for certain. Try to spend time on anything else that makes you happy and when your ITA finally comes, we shall all sing together and even have a virtual party :):) Let go and everything will fall into place - it will ... it always does :)

I agree with you on this point. I have an option for BCPNP and bcpnp takes 2-3 days to approve. However i am not going to apply for that unless i am very sure that i am not getting ITA, I am on 416 right now. I Guess people here just can't wait that's why they go for pnp.
