Ray of hope 65th draw

[Immime2017]

GUYS, Need your advice !
I have just received NOI from Ontario and not sure how much time can I take before aceepting/declining it. Here are some of my conditions.

1. My CRS is 412. (Should I wait for the next draw?)
2. My Ielts is expiring August 29th 2017. (I don't want to appear again for Ielts)
3. I am expecting to get married in the next 3-4 months. (This app is for a single status but plan is to add spouse afterwards)

Any guidance would be appreciated. My lawyer just emailed me with the NOI but asking for another $1000 in preparation of application. (In addition to the $2000 I paid up front for Express Entry profile).

If you don't get in round 65 which is most likely tomorrow, you're definitely in round 66. Save your money, you won't need the NOI. By the time you prepare all the PNP requirements, you will have a direct ITA anyway!

What is the average waiting time to receive an ITA for members in this forum?

After the ITA is received, and while the documents are to be uploaded:

• What must the minimum resolution of document scans be in DPI?
• Can the documents be uploaded in image file format (like jpeg, png, gif, etc.) or only pdf is acceptable?
• If only pdf is acceptable, how do we retain the DPI of the source image scans?

Thanks in advance!!

Depends on the individual's CRS score. Some members have been waiting since 2015, and still haven't received an ITA. Patience is the keyword.

Absolutely wait! You have 15 days time to submit. If you get selected in next ITA, good, otherwise go for OINP. Are you Inland or outside Canada? - Especially if inside canada, the processing time for PNP Inland candates take minimum 6 months. Currently PNP guys from Dec / Jan are being processed for PPR. My file was submitted in March an still waiting.

Not true, 6 months to accept and register , once registered 15 days.. so technically 6 months..

Clarification

The Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) would like to clarify the deadlines for the HCP Stream:

1. Your Notification of Interest (NOI) is valid for 6 months. This means that you must register a profile for the HCP Stream in the OINP e-Filing Portal within 6 months of receiving your NOI from Ontario.
2. Once you register a profile for the HCP Stream in the OINP e Filing Portal, you must submit your complete application to the HCP Stream within 14 calendar days.

Document Size & File Format - All documents should be uploaded as PDF not more than 4MB, except for digital photo which should be in JPEG format and not less than 60KB. For each placeholder, it should be one PDF. If you have multiple pages, merge them into one PDF for each placeholder. If the file size exceeds 4MB, scan the documents with scanner settings at 100 dpi or less but ensure that the files are legible. You can also use online tools like Small PDF to compress, merge and split PDFs etc (https://smallpdf.com/).

I hope you're sure about the 100 DPI, and thanks for the assistance.

For the next round:
When? this one I can't answer, however, since the last two rounds were after 14 days, the next round could potentially be after 7 days only.
If 24/May: 408 (+/-2)*
If 31/May: 412 (+/-2)*
#ITAs will continue to be in the 3600-3999 range, they want to keep it close to 3600

Was going through your predictions thread. You've been pretty accurate in predictions for the last two draws. If, you are right this time too, it implies I won't receive any ITA this time around. When do you think will 408 CRS be safely in?

guys a bit offtopic,
but do you think freelance experience should be marked as "self-employed" in EE profile?
thanks in advance!

Accepted the OINP nomination yesterday, hope the points are added to my profile before the draw! (If happens today)

There are others Applicants facing the same problem. I have talked to OINP and they told me that their offices all over Ontario are having system upgrading, and therefore many citizens are using services online. To ensure they don't get interrupted they have limited the access for OINP services, but you should try at non working hours (other than 8.30am to 4.30pm Toronto time).

I have been trying in non working hours as well but no luck. Is there anyone has been able to submit a profile on OINP efiling portal yesterday?
