Will the 2nd or third province that I appled for know that I already applied for the first province?
If so, will all my applications for PNPs that I had applied for get cancelled?
1. Some provinces to request to answer the question (if you have applied in other PNP program before) when sending your application. In that case it is advisable to answer it correctly. But not all might do that.
2. if the nominations are under EE, you can only accept one nomination. Once you accept one the others could not be accepted anymore. However even if other provinces would see it, it is still advisable to send request for withdrawal.
3. If some PNP are paper based while others are for EE. You are technically able to use 2 PNP and fill in 1 paper based application and one EE application. Now doing that will cost you both PNP.
Why, because accepting PNP in EE or sending one in paper based application (in that case you need to fill in Schedule 4), is an act where you clearly state your intention to reside in that province. Doing that for 2 different provinces is contradicting.
From my notes now, I am very sure, that they do check any previous information about you in the system. So they will find out.
The only proper way how to solve such situation (where you have one application running on federal level with 1 province, but you want to apply with a different province PNP is first to withdraw the first application).
And provinces do share their lists of PNP nominees with federal side (again I could see that from my notes).
