31102
Hello,

My NOC is 31102 (Physician).
I have NOI from Ontario in hand (based on my last CRS 404) and the last date to submit my OINP is March 20, 2024. When I received this NOI, the OINP CRS range was 379-416. However, I haven't submitted my application yet.

Now, I improved my IELTS and my new CRS is 453 (Express Entry profile not updated for the new language score).

I am now confused that if I update my EE profile, the CRS will be above the OINP upper limit (416).

My questions are:

1. Should I update my EE profile at this stage to target the very next FSW Healthcare draw?

2.
Will it cause any issues with OINP (453 is over the recent cutoff), if I submit my OINP application after updating my EE profile?

3.
If I receive ITA in FSW with CRS 453 (as the recent FSW cut-off for the Healthcare category was 422, can I withdraw my OINP application and get a refund ($1500, a lot of money)?

Please guide.
Thanks in advance!
