I applied for skills immigration - international graduate in BC last month and was able to receive the nomination today.
However, until I received the confirmation letter saying Please note this nomination is not valid for Express Entry. I didn't realize there are two different PNP...

I checked the CIC website for the regular PNP processing time and it says 15 to 19 months while Express entry is only 6 months.
So, I wanted to convert SI PNP to EE PNP if possible.

Were anyone in this forum in the same situation? If so, is that possible converting to EE?
I already sent an email to BC PNP and am waiting for the response but just wanted to see if anyone has an idea.
If not possible, should I re-apply via EE PNP program?

I received the same nomination letter from the MPNP, I phoned the officer who assessed my application (luckily I had his number as he'd phoned me with a previous query.) After this it was changed so I received EE nomination.
Perhaps once they get your email same will happen for you, it's possible.
