Yes, I am on the same stream. The mail I received when my application moved to assessment says:
The Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program has reviewed your application for completeness under the Employer Job Offer: Foreign Worker Stream. Please find attached a letter confirming that your application is complete. The program will contact you should we require additional information to support the assessment of your application.
Thank you for your interest in the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program.
You sent your application on Sep 23?!! That was the last day that the program was open! Just in time!
I think that maybe in two weeks you should see that moves to assessment.
No, I do not have an EE profile. Regarding the application, yes... unfortunately, it has to be by paper.
I thought I could do it by express entry, but after the previous exchange, I read well on the CIC website and confirmed that the only way to do it is paper-based. Also, I sent an email to a consultant who confirmed the same.

NOTE: If you have a nomination that is not for Express Entry, or it was issued before January 1, 2015, you must apply using the paper-based process. You cannot use this nomination for Express Entry.
