Dear experienced friends,

I have my job offer approved from SINP. Now I am unsure if I shall apply for EE or the Skilled Worker Sub Category (With Job Offer) ?

What would be the most wiser path to take? Please suggest. Thank you.

Here's the thing,
With the job offer sub category, you need to be sure you will NOT be tied to that employer. I haven't read the procedural guidelines, but I would imagine that the employer/employment will have to be available throughout your processing the SINP and CIC stage.
Also, I believe the processing at CIC stage will still be paper based and potentially longer.

With EE, you're 'free' and the processing is supposedly faster.

The only way i would recommend you go for the job offer category is if you may have issues with EE eligibility (e.g. CLB <7) or POF or something.

Thank you for the reply. I have CLB 9 and have approved job from SINP.

Can I apply for both? depending on from which stream I get ITA first I would proceed with that one? I am guessing it is a bad idea, is it?
