I am at the score of 481, looks like I wouldn't be getting an ITA due to tie break, as I entered the pool on feb 15th(tough luck), anyone in the same boat as me?

Unfortunately, you'll need to wait for the next round of invitation draw.

Hey guys, I received ITA on this draw but I have also applied for OINP which is still decision in progress. I realise that I cannot do both together and have to withdraw one. Which would you suggest to withdraw, considering rejection rates and processing time?

 

[syamili]

Thanks @13nitinsharma
I received ITA today and it says I have received under PNP.
Not CEC or FSW or FSWT though I'm eligible for CEC and FSW.
Quite confused.
Should I show Proof of fund?
Do I have to submit the same documents as I submitted for PNP?
Please confirm.
Anybody else received under PNP category like me?

Decline your ITA and wait for OINP nomination as your OINP application is in the final stage now. There is no point of withdrawing your OINP application as you won't get 1500$ refund.

If it says PNP met, you need to submit proof of funds as usual.

That's pretty confusing, because in my express entry profile clearly says not eligible for PNP nor FST and only for FSW and CEC, does his scenario mean I could still expect an PNP invite based on the province selected earlier? I'm sorry if my question is stupid, doing my research to be prepared.
And also, say if you are already working in canada, and you do not have enough funds to show for your application, does the current job offer letter work as replacement for proof of funds. Thank you for your answers in advance.
