I cannot agree more with Chivinas, EE and paper based nomination are totally two different streams, for EE stream, you can apply for Nomination only when you receive NOI from ONIP, as already discussed before, we are not able to get NOI due to low CRS score because we are 'old man club'.

what we are doing right now is apply for the nomination via paper based stream, and once nominated, we can apply PR via 'immigrate as provincial nominee(paper process)'
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigratio.../provincial-nominees/application-process.html, the nomination is not apply for EE stream.
