Hey, Thanks for reply- I am bit confused with your 1st response. I have understanding that once nomination is received, need to create an express entry on IRCC website, and then get ITA. Are you saying with an approved nomination, there is another way to apply for PR? Most of cases I have heard, people have created Express entry post nomination and this has been mentioned on IRCC website as well. I might be wrong, can you please send me a link that indicates apply directly to IRCC without an express entry profile? Not sure you are referring to Paper based application?
I do not think you require work visa extension, already it's good for 2 years. Mine is expiring within 6 months, so in need of nomination at earliest.
