Targeted draw – Priority Occupations Please refer to the OINP Program Update page for a list of targeted occupations

Indeed a very limited number of interests were sent. But the good thing is that they did not send to CEC candidates exclusively. Last year, even the Ontario draws had chosen to target the CECs only until July.

With no end of the pandemic in sight, no one could tell when the next all program draw will happen. Congrats on the OINP invitation!

are VACs open? Becuz in summer after reopening VACs they restart conducting all program draws. I was thinking they may follow the same pattern as well this time

You have the option of not paying.

These days speed of processing depends on your VO more than your AOR. People with Accra VO are getting PPRs very quickly. Whereas those unlucky ones with files at CPC-O like me are in for a long wait apparently.

Some people might to have enough money as at that time, while some intentionally wants that request so they can know their COPR is about to come

It's not a sign of incoming COPR anymore. For eg I got RPRF request in Jan. My eligibility has been passed and criminality & security aren't even started yet. Many others have the same status.
