Hi,

While creating EE profile, you can show your intention for as many provinces as you want. You can also apply to as many PNPs as you want.

However, once the province shows its intention to nominate you, your status will be PENDING. Or if the province nominates you and you are yet to accept it, you status will be the same. In either case, no other province will be able to look at your profile.

Of course, this will apply once you have accepted nomination from any respective province.

Hope this would help you.

You can apply any PNP with Federal Skill worker program. Important thing is when you apply in FSW it will ask your intention to live in which province so better to write same province name in which you are applying in PNP.
Under FSW program- you can live and move in any province except Quebec
PNP program - you need to stay at least 2 or 3 years in that province.

If your application is in process in any PNP, you should not apply to any other province. So you can send application to many province at the same time but once you got the file number you should with draw your other application otherwise all provinces will doubt on your intention.

Also, to quote alde81 from another thread, a province may not give you nomination if they find out that you have an application in progress for another province. They may question your true intention to reside in their province permanently and refuse your nomination, unless you can prove to them otherwise. However, federal a application such as EE, doesn't affect your application in any province.

Well, your timing couldn't be better.

I would like to share the news that I received and accepted my NS nomination this morning.

Here's the story: After AOR, officer reached out to me for additional documents. Request was for usual docs such as updated financial and credit card statements, why NS?, what research I have done?, and updated IELTS report.

As I mentioned here earlier, my old IELTS report expires on 16th May(test date)/22nd May (report date, surprisingly MyCIC takes the report date as the begging of 2years validity) and officer requested a new IELTS report. So hastily I took the test and didn't get the report within the allowed time frame to respond to NS.

So officer issued an "Intend to Refuse" and was kind enough to clarify that I will have 10 working days to submit the new IELTS report before rejecting and closing the application. I submitted the report three days after I received the "Intend to Refuse" letter. After two days, this morning I received the nomination.

As soon as I accepted the nomination, my points increased in MyCIC. Now I am waiting for the next draw. I assume, I would not be invited even if there is a draw tomorrow, because of the draw system cut-off time. Anyhooo, I will keep you all posted.

Good luck! Immigration officers in NS office are strict but kind.
