Paper-based PNP application and Express Entry application at the same time

[ScarletSails]

Hi everyone,

I am an AINP nominee. I submitted my PR application to CIC in July and expect to get AOR in October or November.

I have an active Express Entry profile and am waiting until after October 18 to complete my one year of working full-time in Canada so that I can be qualified for Canadian Experience Class. After October 18, my CRS score will be 493 and I hope to receive and accept an ITA on October 19.

My question is that whether it will be a problem if I have two PR applications - one for paper-based provincial nominee and the other for EE - and they are processed at the same time.

Considering how long it may take for my paper-based application to be processed (I guess 15-18 months), Express Entry is obviously much faster.

If having two PR applications processed at the same time is not a problem, I will keep both just in case something goes wrong with either application.

Thanks so much for your kind support.
