Temporary pause on OINP “base” stream applications

[yasir.kidwai]

I would hate to break it to you guys, but

"Program Update: Temporary pause on OINP “base” stream applications"

SOURCE: http://www.ontarioimmigration.ca/en/pnp/OI_PNPNEW.html

Lets pray for the best...

As bellaluna pointed out

<i>""Base" stream refers to paper-based applications, such as the employer and masters/PhD. Their quota has been reached.

Express Entry is not at all affected by this news you posted. Nominations sent electronically, via Express Entry, fall in the "enhanced" stream, and it seems OINP is still sending out PT notifications of interest for this, however sparsely.

We have to wait until OINP announces they reach the quota for the enhanced/Express Entry stream."</i>

That's great news then! Btw is there a way to boost chances of getting a PT notification? Because i am at 449 and was expecting a PT, however I am worried that I might be doing something wrong...

^ That's the one puzzle no one outside of OINP has figured out. My own guess is that it's a random lottery of those who meet the advertised criteria.

So basically we just make an EE profile and mark our intention for OINP... that's it? nothing else? :

Yes, that's really it. And then you wait and hope for a new MyCIC message to arrive.

Please understand that this notification is NOT for OINP Human Capital Priorities Stream. "Base" stream is different and does NOT apply to people in EE pool applying for Human Capital priorities Stream.

This wrongly interpreted message has become an epidemic. I have clarified this numerous times on other topics.

Thanks.
