After reading the whole thing including the press release and sub-notes, two question comes to my mind as PNP candidates:

To be eligible into the Express Entry pool, one has to meet minimum requirement of close 5(1), which very much say that candidates has to have one years of eligible work experience, and had to meet certain language bench mark.

1. Is not that against the PNP rules for International student who are not required to have work experience nor submit a language test?
2. They said that maximum application will be proceed this coming year will be capped at some 122,000 total.

What do you guys think, Are the PNP rules will change too? How they will deal with people get PNP after Jan 1 but under old PnP rules?

How will provinces and territories use the Express Entry system?

Provinces and territories will be able to nominate a certain number of foreign nationals through the Express Entry system to meet their local immigration and labour market needs. If an applicant gets a nomination from a province or territory, they will be given enough additional points to be invited to apply for permanent residence at the next eligible draw of candidates.

Just as they manage their own Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) now, provinces and territories will set the criteria they use to nominate Express Entry candidates.

Express Entry candidates may either:

enter the pool first, and then be nominated by a province or territory; or
be nominated by a province or territory, and then complete an online Express Entry profile.
Note: All prospective candidates (whether PNP applicants or not) must meet the criteria of at least one of the federal immigration programs managed through Express Entry in order to enter the pool, and must submit their application online.

Provinces and territories will also continue to be able to make nominations under their regular (“base”) PNPs outside of Express Entry via a paper application process.

Note: The Province of Quebec does not use Express Entry. They select their own skilled workers. See Quebec-selected skilled workers to find out more.

Which means minimum work experience and language benchmark. if one wants to benefit of the EE faster processing time?

Provinces and territories will also continue to be able to make nominations under their regular (“base”) PNPs outside of Express Entry via a paper application process.
