If you can afford loosing $1500. Respond to the NOI. I've seen stories where ppl rejected it and then there was the big pause in 2022 where they regretted the decision. Not saying it will repeat again but like I said, if you can afford to loose $1500, go for it! You can always switch to CEC later.
Sikandar Nawaz it depends on the nomination. If its Employer job offer nomination, it will be restricted and Non EE nomination. That is tough situation. We gotta lose time and money for that
Sikandar Nawaz so are you accepting ? Just trying to understand the process. If you accept the invitation you cant move to other province right?
Abhishek Rao thanks for your support and response. If I get the OINP nomination, can I still apply for Express Entry if I got an ITA?
Karan Dhawan thanks for your response Kamran. IRCC Website still shows 14 months thats why I was confused.
Sikandar Nawaz processing time for a non EE is 8 months! Times hv changed
Raju Kasani yes it is employer job offer foreign worker stream.
