You will need to maintain the 67 points to be eligible to maintain your EE profile, which is required in order for you to obtain the nomination under SINP EE. The 67 points is an 'entry to express entry', and from there you accumulate the points in the CRS system. Without the 67 points, your EE profile would be invalidated, and a nomination under the SINP EE cannot be obtained, since an active EE profile is a prerequisite to the SINP EE.
However, if the SINP approves before the 26th August deadline for you, and the IRCC performs a draw after that, but before the 26th August deadline, then you should receive an ITA, and you can proceed from there.
An alternative should the EE expire because of the points is the SINP OID, which does not require an express entry profile. As long as you have experience in one of the then-In Demand occupations when it opens up, and you have the 60 points on their grid, you would be eligible to apply and, if you receive the nomination, you will apply through the paper application that you will mail to the Intake Office in Sydney, Nova Scotia, as in the pre-Express Entry era. This process will take longer, but may be viable in your situation.
