Express Entry with PNP

[salral]

Hello,

My Current CSR score for EE is 426, IELTS CLB9, NOC 1221.

I am going to launch my application for EE. Can anyone tell me if I don't apply for PNP now while uploading my EE application then I will not be able to add PNP at later stage to my application? I am doing it as if i don't get picked in next few draws then i should have something in hand for future. I hope there is no harm doing it

Any suggestion from your side?

Thanks for help.

You can add PNP later.

Thanks xpressentry,

Can you share any link where i can find all the details as i need to know whether i can apply for PNP from multiple provinces at the same time? or can I change PNP later?

Thanks

if you want to apply to a province, you have to be committed to living and working there. You can't live and work in all provinces at the same time. Once you apply for one province you can't apply to any other.

Thanks again,

One more question, Would it be same as EE even if i go with PNP? What do you suggest either i should go without PNP now and wait for few draws and then add PNP later if i don't get picked?

PNP will give you 600 points. Once you apply for PNP, you have to wait for that processing and have to pay for it too. So direct EE would mean faster processing, lesser fees and no obligation to live and work in a certain province

Now understood.

What if i apply with PNP and my application gets picked up with my current EE points (426) in next draw. Still i have to go with PNP process which will take long? or I just need to process with EE?

If you start the application for PNP, you will pay for it anyway. Depends how much spare cash you have lying around. I know Ontario charges $1500. You can start PNP and if you get ITA without it, you can cancel your PNP but you won't get your fees back.
