Existing PNP nomination NOT eligible for getting additional points for EE !

[Ekniranjan2]

Looks like existing(already approved) PNP's canNOT be used for creating express entry profile. You will only get additional points for your PNP nomination ONLY when you get that PNP nomination issued under the new, yet to be created "express entry STREAM" by the provincial governments.

Reference: wwwDOTgazetteDOTgcDOTca/rp-pr/p1/2014/2014-12-01-x10/html/extra10-eng.php

FYI look at the last point of Section 5.(1) of Gazzette which says:

5. (1) In order to be "eligible to be issued an invitation", a foreign national must

(a) meet the requirements to be a member of at least one of the classes referred to in paragraphs 2(a) to (c);
(b) meet the requirements of
(i) subparagraph 82(2)(c)(ii) of the Regulations, if they are a foreign national referred to in paragraph 82(2)(b); or
(ii) clause 87.2(3)(d)(iv)(B) of the Regulations, if they are a foreign national referred to in subparagraph 87.2(3)(d)(iii); and

(c) not later than 30 days after the day on which they submit their expression of interest, register with the Job Bank of the Department of Employment and Social Development, if they do not have a qualifying offer of arranged employment or are not named in a nomination certificate issued by the government of a province referred to in paragraph 2(d) under its provincial nominee program "express entry stream" at the end of that period.

so confusing....
If I get my nomination before EE launch, I can't apply under EE?? Pls correct me if I am wrong

PNP programs will continue to have the "regular" (current) application processes, in addition to some express entry. So you would still be able to use your nomination under the regular application procedures.

That's correct. Apart from using my existing PNP nomination certificate for regular PR PNP application , if I want to apply for CEC or FSWP under Express Entry, can I get those additional 600 points(so that ITA is assured) because I am already having a PNP nomination?

If you already have PNP nomination and you are qualify for CEC or FSW, you can create EE profile and 600 points will be awarded for your nomination.

Thats great to know. Do you think that the nomination certificate has to be valid even after getting ITA(until we submit PR application for CEC or FSWP)?

Thanks for your inputs.

Many members in this forum are reporting that they are NOT receiving their additional 600 points, when they submit their express entry profile using their EXISTING provincial nominations.

Is anyone of them still got entry in to express entry pool(and therefore participating in the first draw) just with their base points?

i think they've to do paper application like before.
only candidates nominated by province under EE will secure 600 points.
