Hello Everyone,
I have been living and working in Saskatchewan for the Last 1.5 year in a Job that comes under NOC 2171. My CRS score was 443 before the new changes in the express entry. At that time I didn’t have a chance to get ITA through EE and my PGWP was expiring in Oct 2016. There is no extension for PGWP. So, I applied for SINP- International Skilled Worker Employment Offer category. At this point I was thinking once I get nominated through the SINP I can go through EE and my EE score will become 1043 (443+600). Luckily I got nominated. Happily, I filled out EE profile indicating I have a PNP nomination form Saskatchewan. CIC told me that Saskatchewan has to let CIC know about my nomination. I called SINP to ask them to call CIC and let them know of my nomination. To my shock ??? I came to know that my SINP nomination cannot be used for Express Entry. If I want to apply through EE and get the 600 points then I have to apply under SINP-Express Entry Stream. I came to know that that stream takes application only for one or two days in a year or so and I missed the deadline. CIC made my profile ineligible after 30 days.
I filled out the Paper based PNP application and sent it to Novascotia, Sydney (Oct 7, 2106). My PGWP is expiring on Oct 15,2016. I realized the paper based PNP processing time is 16 months, during which time I can only work for my current employer. Then came the EE changes and due to my Canadian education and Canadian experience my score reached to 473.
I can never use my current nomination to get 600 points in EE (because SINP wont acknowledge to CIC). So in the next 4-5 draws If I get ITA, I want to accept it and put an application forth for EE. At that point I will have two applications in process. I don’t want to withdraw any of them without having to confirm the other one will definitely give me PR.
I assume this is a common scenario with international-students who are working in Canada for two years in a Skilled job. So my wondering is
1) Can I have both the application in process at the same time? Will this process create any unexpected/unwanted problems?
2) If I ever have to withdraw application, at what stage will I need to withdraw application?
3) will CIC gently ask to continue with one application or abruptly rejects the application? I am scared what if both of them gets rejected like that, pointing to the other application?
Can someone shed some light on this process.
Thanks
Ravi
