Hello house,

I have receieved NOI from OINP for French.

So my questions are:
1)What are the next steps?
2)What documents need i supply?
3)Can i pay for the fees using someone else’s card as mine only has the exact amount required for POF.
4)Is biodata page of passport enough for identification or do i also need birth certificate?
5)My spouse did not do WES or IELTS, will that be a problem as i qualified for the draw even without his WES and IELTS
6)How long does the processing take?
7)I changed my job and now using a different NOC code with a different TEER (before was teer 1 and now TEER 3) will that be a problem? Note that the qualifying requirements are french nclc 7 and teer 0,1,2 or 3.
8.)Lastly i had submitted SINP, NB virtual recruitment and Quebec Arimma profile. I know that i must withdraw all applications but at what point do i do this? Before applying for OINP or after receiving nomination?
9) I have simultaneously received interest from Quebec, i assume the Quebec process is more complex with regards to ECA, i dont know how to go about it. Please advise if i should select accept OINP and withdraw from Arimma or maintain Arimma and leave OINP as the application fee is hefty.
10) Can i use pension fund contributions as part of POF? If yes must i keep it in the fund and use LOE or must i transfer to my account and again use LOE to explain the lumpsum amount.
11) The draw was conducted as I was inbetween my former job and my new job. Does that make me ineligible? If I submit with the new job and different tree. Will OINP consider my eligibility at the time of draw or at the time of submission of application? (For better clarity I was in my former job for 5yrs and then was sacked and now I have a new job for which I am to start on 22nd Jan and draw was conducted on 18th Jan at which time I had not yet signed the new contract. )


I would like the least complicated route (between OINP or Quebec) and i am also humbly requesting assistance/guidance for OINP application. If someone could direct me where to find the guidelines or a support group for OINP, i would be grateful. Regardless of all my preferences, i am open to all advice. Thanks in advance
