When you get a provincial nomination let's say from Ontario, do you still have to send an application to Ontario for them to accept you then if all documents are in line you get 600 points?
Just to clarify for those who don't know too much about Ontario's Provincial Nomination programmes (OINP).
1. You need to be invited to apply, and they're only looking at EE profiles created in 2018. If you already have an EE profile that was created in 2017, you have to cancel and create a new one (changing your position in the EE queue).
2. They're using specific criteria for their 3 streams (French, Masters and Human Capital Priorities) - most people will fall into HCP. I've seen priority given to software developer codes etc at this point but you can search for what they're looking for.
3. They'll send you an invite via your profile. You will have 45 days to accept and upload all the documentation, and pay the CAD$ 1500 processing fee.
4. Documentation required is heavily around work employment history of primary applicant, and you'll need your Proof of Funds - basically, if you've been diligent about documentation for your EE profile, you'll have 90% of it already
5. You must send them a copy of your WES evaluation from WES
6. If they have not begun processing it, you can be refunded (as in you got an ITA without it). I waited 60 days for processing, but I suspect it was because I didn't do the duplicate WES because nowhere did it state I had to :/
7. Estimated timelines are 2-3 months - then once approved, you must still accept the nomination before points are updated on your profile.
8. If they have a problem with any of your docs, there are additional time delays while they notify you and you supply updated docs.
In short, PNP from Ontario isn't quick, cheap or easy, BUT they were targeting the EE scores (430+) of this thread.
