I honestly do not know why all y'all are applying for the OINP. Unless you received your Expression of Interest letter at least 4 months ago, what's the point on paying 1500 CAD, not to mention all additional translations and documental charges, to STILL depend on a draw? Afaik, Canada has a goal of approx. 73k ITAs this year, and so far about 30k have been handed out. Unless you have really low scores, I don't see the point. The EOI is valid for 6 months, and it takes time to process, so you might end up tossing 1500 CAD in the trash.
