Seniors,
Quick question please:
How do you acquire a Nomination Certificate from a Canadian Province or Territory? Its not clear since I also read you can't apply into the Express Entry pool and to Express Entry Provincial Nominee Programs at the same time.
For clarity - HOW DO YOU OBTAIN A PNP CERTIFICATE?
There are different kinds of Provincial Nominee programs -
1) Some of them need a job offer
2) Some of them don't need a job offer
3) Some of them are paper based
4) Some of them are online
5) A combination of the above is also possible
So, you might want to choose programs that are a combination of 2 and 4.
In short, there are Provincial Nominee programs that are administered through the Express Entry system (OINP - Human Capital Priorities Stream, SINP EE Stream, PEI, NSNP etc). All these have Nominee Programs that issues you a nomination through your myCIC account.
There are other programs that are administered offline - SINP OID is a paper based stream for instance (which means, you don't apply through via your EE profile. You send a paper based PR application.)
