I see. You have a point, and the official text doesn’t explicitly prohibit these applications. It does prohibit multiple “profiles”, explicitly, but I think that’s related to having two or more “profiles” in the system for ITA.Multiple permanent residence applications
If you are applying to immigrate to Canada, there are many immigration categories available to you. Please note that the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) does not prohibit multiple applications*.
If an applicant has more than one application for permanent residence (APR) approved, the responsible office will advise them to choose the category/class under which they would like to be granted permanent resident status.
Once permanent resident status is granted, any other pending APR should be withdrawn and the applicant notified.
*For example, you may apply simultaneously for two different streams in the economic class (e.g., Federal Skilled Worker Class and Provincial Nominee Class).
"The line clearly states it doesn't prohibit multiple PR applications.Further,PNP can be general and express entry too as far as I understand...so not sure how to interpret this."
I’ll do my own research on this, and call IRCC/Lawyer tomorrow too. Will update here what I find out.
