Oh man! That's bad, even I made the mistake of not creating a new profile. Mine is expiring May end. But I submitted tech pathway in mid-Nov. So hoping to get nominated soon.

The only option is to wait until March. If you do not get nominated by then, create a new EE profile, EOI and submit another tech pathway, unless they change the rules and the nomination is not tied to EE profile anymore.

Chances of getting nominated are high if your express entry profile is valid for more than 5 months. Since yours is valid for 2 more months, chances are pretty low and let’s say even if you get nominated by March, then you need to receive ITA and accept it, before expiry of your profile. Tech pathway nominations are tied to the specific express entry profile, if your profile expires before you get ITA, your nomination is no longer valid and can’t be transferred to new express entry profile. If you have a work permit left for 1 whole year, then only try your luck and hope you get nominated by Feb and receives ITA before expiry. But if your work permit is about to expiry, then may be consult some expert and get their opinions as well.

I've submitted my file on 16 Nov for Alberta accelerated tech pathway after receiving NOI.
I've updated my profile with my new employer's Job offer. NAICS code for my new employer is different but still comes under NAICS codes mentioned in list. Do I need to add a request for that too?
IN how much time did you recieve NOI? after submiting EOI?

Yes you can, not sure if Alberta has increased certificate numbers or not for Tech pathway.
have a job offer with you and fill up the form, send it and wait.. you will surely get NOI whenever Alberta conduct draw for Tech.
I am not sure we need to wait for a tech draw , one of my friend got it in 24 hours
