Ray of Hope - 71st Draw!

[Vishal-07]

Dont worry buddy Ontario is most likely to open its HCP as they haven't reached their yearly cap yet. As per the timelines of the members in OINP group most of them are at DIP stage and i assume this has to be the last set of applicants and the program should resume soon, also ICT applicants with scores around 350 have got nomination so your scores below 400 won't be a problem if you are in need of a NOI. Good luck

Hi guys, general question here. I don't have an ITA but just wanted to have all my docs in check.

Q) When providing employment reference letters, do we have to submit the original letters or is a copy of the original allowed to be submitted ?

Thanks a bunch

Thank you. I do think there are many indications that OINP should reopen later this year. Ontario had planned all along to pause and reopen the streams to allow people to apply throughout the year, rather than letting all available spots get taken by May which happened in 2016. There were also numerous system issues in July, so they probably needed to reduce the load on their servers and perform system maintenance/upgrades (which they have a few times since July 25). As of August 8, there were still 1994 nominations available for the year, so hopefully they still need more HCP applications to fill the quota. But there were also many indications that I should have gotten at least one of these 2 jobs that I came close to getting, so I am feeling rather down. Unfortunately it was only in that last week of June that Ontario issued NOIs to ICT applicants with scores below 400, which was probably responsible for the surge in applications. It's anyone's guess when/whether they will do that again, especially since they seem to be more focused on attracting agricultural and construction workers these days.

What about a draw today

The only draw that's happening today is the picture I draw on my white board in my kitchen.

We all knew it's not happening but we all still had a 1-2% hope...hope is what keeps us all going...we never lose hope. !

Well, keep waiting until the next Wednesday! I think there are enough draws for the month!

 

[trumprefugee]

Yes, next Wednesday is a good day for a draw. The standard 2 weeks after the previous draw, and right after the government employees get back from summer vacation and are ready to work more (i.e., issue more ITAs).

 

[walk_2_canada]

Let the draw be with us!

under Proof of work experience

Proof of work experience
Purpose

To prove each work experience claim and to validate that the applicant meets program requirements

Document requirements

• The personalized document checklist in applicants’ online account prompts the applicant with an upload field for each work experience declared.
• At the completeness check, the processing office determines only whether the required documents are included. The validity or fraudulence of the information is assessed only if and when the application is placed into processing.

The following documents are mandatory for each work experience declared:

• a reference or experience letter from the employer, which
  • should be an official document printed on company letterhead (must include the applicant’s name, the company’s contact information [address, telephone number and email address], and the name, title and signature of the immediate supervisor or personnel officer at the company),
  • should indicate all positions held while employed at the company and must include the following details: job title, duties and responsibilities, job status (if current job), dates worked for the company, number of work hours per week and annual salary plus benefits; and
• if the applicant is self-employed, articles of incorporation or other evidence of business ownership, evidence of self-employment income and documentation from third-party individuals indicating the service provided along with payment details (self-declared main duties or affidavits are not acceptable proof of self-employed work experience).

If the work experience is in Canada, proof may include copies of T4 tax information slips and notices of assessment issued by the Canada Revenue Agency (the time period for these documents should reflect the work experience timeframe [e.g., work experience from 2006 to 2008 requires only documents from those calendar years]).

Individuals who must submit this documentation

• The principal applicant
• Their spouse or common-law partner (if work experience in Canada is claimed)
