Hi,
I have applied OINP under CEC, walked in and dropped my application at Toronto Downtown on December 18, 2015.
I have also sent an email to know the status of my application on December 20, 2015.
I received an email from OINP on January 11, 2016 as follows:
Dear Sir/Madam,
Your application package has been received in our office and is in queue for review by an officer. Due to the high volume of applications being received, Acknowledgement Letters may take longer to be issued.
If your application is complete, you will receive the letter from OINP by email to indicate that your application has been accepted for assessment.
If your application is incomplete, your package will be returned to you by Purolator including the payment.
Thank you for your interest in our program.
Sincerely
Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program
Does it mean that my package has been received on January 11, 2016? - No, the date of your application receipt will be December 18, 2015. Since you have emailed them on December 20th, they have got back to you with their standard repose on January 11th. They generally take 15-20 days to reply to emails.
If it is such, as per the current AOR processing time, can I expect AOR by the end of May? - Yes, AORs are currently being sent to December applicants. You can expect to receive AOR by May end or early June.
I have to update my mobile #, but to update that, I need file number to be filled in the change of personal information form.
Do I have to wait for my AOR(to get the file number) to update the mobile #? - If you do not have the file number, you can mention your EE profile number and send the completed Change of Personal Information Form to OINP by mail, fax or email attachment.
Thanks,
Lekshmi
