So I went to MPNP office to enquire if they give nomination, Can I add it to my express entry profile.
I got the following reply , to paraphrase

"I was informed that I can only add nomination to my express entry profile if my nomination package asks me to go through express entry.
If the nomination package does not say explicitly that I can apply through express entry, then I have to do it the old fashion way of sending the application package to Sydney Nova Scotia. The person also added , I can only expect the nomination to have express entry in it if I was contacted some time last year!

When enquired what will happen if I say that I have been nominated by the province in my express entry profile after I get the nomination , I was informed Manitoba will not acknowledge my nomination to CIC for express entry (if the nomination package does not say express entry). By doing so I will be come in ineligible for the 600 points!! "

As there are 500 express entry nomination for Manitoba , I was wondering if any of you have actual been invited yet while you MPNP application was still in progress ?
