Hi, I would like to switch from Provicial Nominee to Experience Class (application is in process at federal level), is there any way to do so without withdraw and reapply?

Your advise or help is much appreciated.

You don't have to withdraw your PNP application. But you will have to submit a brand new application for CEC. You cannot switch your application from PNP to CEC.

As per above, there is no way to switch something already submitted, but you can have two applications running concurrently.

If your PNP application is already in process, there's probably no point in withdrawing it at this point (unless you no longer intend to settle in that province and won't be eligible).
