Hello everyone
First of all, I apologize if this question has been asked before. I did a lot of research but I couldn't find an exact answer so if someone could help me, that'd be much appreciated
So I created my EE profile on 24th of December 2017 and my CRS is 435(In a few months,I'll add my TEF score to improve it),but with the recent news regarding OINP,I had some questions:

1.It seems most people prefer direct ITA compared to OINP, but aside from the $1500 fee, is there another reason? What are the main advantages of direct ITA?

2.With my current situation,do you recommend following OINP? If so, should I recreate my profile?

Thank you!

Direct ITA will be faster and you'll save $1500.
My rule of thumb, aim for what in your range of eyes. I would rather choosing OINP and regret of wasting $1500 and slow wait than waiting for ITA which might never happen.

And regarding deleting and recreating a new profile,do you think it's a good idea to recreate mine?
Are there any disadvantages of removing and recreating a profile ?

You can alway create another GCKey account and make another profile.
For your question, if you recreate your account and by some chance the cut-off point is equal to your point, you will lose due to tie-breaker.
