Can a protected person apply for PR through PNP or Express Entry

[Maxnajafi]

You can’t apply for the economic streams as a protected person unless I missed a very recent announcement. If there was a change could you please attach proof of this?

You should provide proof of your personal opinion.
I said that, according to my consultation with a lawyer, there are no restrictions as long as you don’t use your original passport.
You can simply withdraw your PR application under the refugee program and submit a new one through another stream.

Genuinely curious what stream they have said is an option? Assume you also realize that any Canadian education or work experience while an asylum claimant would not be able be able to used for points.

@scylla @armoured @Naturgrl wonder if you can way in.

According to the lawyer, if you can achieve the required score for any PNP or PTSQ program, you are eligible to apply.
There is no conflict with your current protected person status — you simply need to withdraw your existing PR application before submitting a new one. Your protected status will remain valid.
You may use your RTD instead of your national passport. I personally haven’t done this yet, but it is an available option for those who meet the eligibility requirements and wish to transition to another immigration stream to expedite the process.
Based on my experience with a legal consultant,
Anyway, you can either accept it or not — but honestly, it’s better to pay a small amount and ask someone who has the proper skills, like an immigration lawyer.
and I’m done with this pointless conversation.

Not my area of knowledge.

If that was the case most would still not qualify purely based on not being able to count any of the experience while an asylum claimant especially given how long processing times have been.

You’re right that for someone who is still in the process of getting protected status, it’s not possible to apply through another immigration stream yet.
But for someone who has already been granted protected person status, it may be possible.
PR through the protected person pathway is guaranteed, even though it takes excessively long.
However, applying through another stream doesn’t guarantee approval — so it must be done carefully and with proper legal advice.
