Hello all,

Please bear with me as explaining my situation is a bit lengthy.

I currently have a Non-Express Entry PNP PR application in progress (security screening) for almost two years. Based on the AOR from this application, I have applied for a BOWP on Dec 1, 2025 which is in progress as well.

Recently, I received an ITA under the CEC – Express Entry stream and I am about to submit my application. I do not wish to withdraw my existing Non-Express Entry PNP application, as it has already been in process for two years, and I would prefer whichever application allows me to obtain PR sooner.

I have the following questions regarding maintaining my status and BOWP application:

1. If I submit my PR application under the CEC – Express Entry stream, will my existing BOWP application (based on the Non-Express Entry PNP application) be refused?

2. Once I receive the Acknowledgment of Receipt (AOR) for my CEC – Express Entry PR application, should I:

• Apply for a second BOWP using the new AOR, or

• Withdraw my existing BOWP application (based on the Non-Express Entry PNP) and then apply for BOWP with the AOR from the CEC – Express Entry application?

I would greatly appreciate your guidance in this situation. Thank you in advance.
