I relocated from the USA to Canada in October 2022, on a closed work permit. Until now, I haven't applied for Canadian PR due to lower CRS score. However, my score will improve after gaining 1 year of work experience in Canada.
My plan is to apply for: Ontario Immigration Nominee Program (OINP) and Express Entry (EE). I have completed WES and IELTS.
1. Is necessary to apply for both the OINP and EE? Or EE is sufficient?2. Are there immigration lawyers to review my application before submission?

I applied to both provincial (nova scotia) and express entry. Bur refused nomination when the crs score was reduced to 75 during covid anf decided to go with express entry.
Once you get nominated by province you have 90 days to accept or refuse. This was back in 2020/2021

Thanks for the information! Can you please give me some details? Is the application process easy? Did you have your application reviewed by an immigration lawyer?

I was taken aback recently when a friend told me I am calloused and cold-hearted for not being able to say those words. Is she right? Should I start saying this for the purposes of providing comfort only??
