Hey!
So I've applied for BC PNP skilled worker, and I'm awaiting my approval. Is there any way now of applying for EE PR? Is there anyway I can change my route to EE without paying all the fees again?

You can apply EE without points from BC PNP.
If you need 600 points from BC PNP to get invited, you need to apply BC PNP Express Entry and pay application fees.
Since March 2015, applicants no longer able to upgrade their regular BC PNP applications to Express Entry on same application.

So if I was to apply for EE now without the 600 points, would my BC PNP count for anything on my application?
No, regular nomination doesn't count anything in express entry application.
