Tough choice - OOPNP or wait for ITA (454 points)

[Big_Yute]

Having a hard time deciding whether to withdraw my profile and resubmit, in order to get a PT, or to wait for an ITA. I'm not comfortable with the idea of not being considered for an ITA, while Ontario decide whether to give me a nomination or not.

I think I'll wait until the next draw and see what the cut off CRS is.

I wont recommend though.. Thats a good a score.. But still ur choice..

don't withdraw. The system is buggy and you are not guaranteed to be able to re-enter. Just sit and wait.

That's a pretty decent score; I say wait at least for the next draw to see what the required score will be.

Just an observation though, based of the following paragraph in the OOPNP guide, I think you would still be considered for an ITA, you would probably just lose your $1500 application fee:

"Note: If you receive and accept an Invitation to Apply (ITA) from CIC or a nomination from another province or territory after you have already applied to OOPNP, your application fee to OOPNP will not be refunded. Application fees are non-refundable even if an application is withdrawn or denied, as they cover OOPNP’s cost of processing applications."

Good luck!!!!

Same here..score is 475 but not sure whether to wait for ITA or not...

 

[wskamel]

if you apply to OOPNP , you might wait for 3 months to get decision , and nothing guarantee that you will nomination . so why would you spend 1500$ and wait for 3 months while you possibly will get ITA within 1 or 2 months ?

Here is my recommendation sitting on SCORE 451.

Withdraw and resubmit your profile with EE.

Wait for invitation, it will come on its own you don't need to do anything. The system may be buggy but it will accept your profile without any changes and with same score.

If you get invitation, watch out for trend scores if it hovers like there only, i would say file it up the money $1500 will be charged only if your PNP is qualified else not.

This is what i am doing, let me know if i am wrong.

The CAD 1500 is a non refundable fee. If your PNP is not approved, the money won't be refunded.

if what is your heart and mind say, go for it. But never regret whatever your decision. ;D

I do not understand why some people pay huge weightage to money. 1500$ is nothing for secure your place. Is 454 a good score? Ask yourself? Every province has opened their pNP except Alberta what you speculate now? What would happen if your PR would be rejected, if Cic will blame you for misrepresentation, if Canada will close for immigration, if points would not come below 755, if there will be in one draw in two months instead of one month? Why so negative there is nothing confirmed but we have to take step.

My advice dnt look for draws and waste your time, many applicants were finding opportunities and now you have in hand, you are taking money issue atfront. 1500$ is your 15 or 20 days income you can recover. Dnt think about money, just confirm your place.

So what if its only 3 months, just think about Alberta or BC pnp- 24 and 16 months respectively. So 600 points and then relax. At least you will not worry if draw will happen once a month or two month you will be selected in next draw instead of waiting for next 3 or 4 draws

Thanks all for your feedback. Anyone knows if one can apply for bridging open work permit pending OOPNP nomination?

 

[Chak de!]

Hello

Can someone pls suggest what to answer for "have you previously applied to cic for immigration"?
Yes or No?

I have deleted my previous exp entry profile and recreating a new one.

Do we have to disclose our previous express entry profile number?

Your suggestions will be much appreciated.

Thanks

I believe what the real question is whether you want to settle in Ontario. Ontario's economy has never been good, and it is cold compared to British Columbia. If you move to other provinces after obtaining immigration status, it may involve complications and they have the right not to provide you the citizenship. Worse still, they may file misrepresentation against you.

If you wait for ITA from CIC, you are allowed to settle anywhere in the country.

This is from the guide "The application fee is per application. The fee must be submitted with the application package or the application will be considered incomplete and returned to you." -- page 20
