You can, but why not work out who will get the highest points and just submit that one?

Save some time and effort?

you are right...but I was hoping for a PNP if direct doesnt work out.. and we have different NOC codes.

Or is this a stupid idea?

Can I submit another application with my wife as main applicant? My wife's CRS is 508 with 5 years of foreign exp. Even if I remove foreign exp, crs would be 458 and we may receive ITA. It may reduce processing time since only canadian exp, ielts, pcc and medical needs to be verified.

I have 10 years of exp with 5.5 years in India, 2.5 in US and 2 in Canada. Not sure how foreign exp would be verified and it may delay the process. When I applied my wife wasn't eligible for cec, but now she can apply under cec.

Can anyone suggest if my wife applies as main applicant, would that be fine? Would it impact my existing application?

You are already 2 months into the processing on your application, I would carry on with your current application.

These guys are trying a second profile to try and get an ITA.

Thanks. Is there any law which prevents in submitting two application? I am little worried about foreign exp since company1 didn't provide me responsibility document. Their exact words were "due to internal guideline from our Legal, HR and Immigration team, we cannot provide responsibilities in letter. Alternately, you can provide a self-declaration for your responsibilities, and attach your Manager's business card, if he can verify the same, if contacted by the immigration authorities". My manager left the company few years ago so I couldn't contact him. I provided self-declaration, salary slip, relieving letter and H1B. May be this company dont want to provide responsibility on letter since I was working on H1B and if responsibility does not match exact H1B requirement they may face issues. So may be they are not providing this details to any one. But if this is not recognized then 4 years of foreign exp would be lost.

In company 2, I worked as IT Manager (NOC 0213), they provided all the details and my exp is 4 years in this company. So I will still meet the minimum criteria of 3 years foreign exp. But my concern is NOC. Currently I am working in Canada under NOC 2174 hence applied under 2174. But this NOC doesnt match the NOC of company 2. Also this company is in India, not sure how they will verify.

If my wife applies, then its relatively safe since she worked in only one company for 5 years and they gave roles & resp letter, work exp letter and skill certificate while leaving. Also there is a chance that we may get ITA without foreign exp. I lost 35 points for Age. As a dependent, there would be no issue with Age or foreign work exp.

Hence, please let me know if there is any CIC rule which prevents applying again with my wife as principal applicant.

Can I have two express entry Profile?

The story is - I have recently cracked an Interview with an employer based in Vancouver and they are ready to offer and support me through the BC PNP program. Once I get Letter of Invitation from the province I will update my express entry profile which will award me 600 more points.

However the company for which I am working right now is also ready to issue me an offer letter from their Toronto office and support Ontario PNP.

I am planning to process my application through two PNP programs and for the same I think I would need two express entry profiles. Is this possible?
