PNP EE & CEC double applicants thread

[shortgriaffe]

I've seen some posts where some people have waited for a long time on your PNP EE application without hearing back from IRCC but have applied again recently with CEC and got CoPR. Can you share what your experience was like?

I don't think that's correct. You can't have two EE applications at the same time.

I think these are situations where people have applied under paper-based PNP streams (i.e. non-EE) and then also under CEC.

I know it's not permitted but I'm hearing that some people have done this already, like https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/inland-pnp-applicants-no-movement-in-application.712415/page-57#post-9445136
Don't know the exact circumstances, but this as well https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/inland-pnp-applicants-no-movement-in-application.712415/page-57#post-9445049

I've been waiting 15 months and still stuck at security not started. I feel like there's nothing to lose from trying.

With the discriminatory treatment of inland pnp applications as against CEC applications, many applicants are considering filing another application under CEC. I am also thinking the same and will explain in LOE why I have two EE applications. My pnp is employer driven, if I lose job,fired, company closed, what I would do? I won’t have the CEC options open forever as CEC points may go up again anytime. In that case I will need to go through another round of pnp?

It may have been a non-EE PNP program, or they withdraw their previous application before/after applying under CEC.

It's a policy that you can't have to EE applications. IMO an LOE will not be accepted.

I think you need to make the hard decision of either withdrawing PNP and hoping to be selected under CEC - or continuing with PNP only.

If it’s going to be hard anyways then maybe I would let it go the harder way through court. I will fill CEC while pnp will remain under process. I will let IRCC reject/refuse either of the applications(or maybe both). Then I will see my legal options.

Guys,
I have been through the Immigration Act and found the following relevant portion under section 10. It's legal language and I am hoping if someone has an idea what's these 2 sections are actually saying.

The question is if an applicant already has one application under process, can he create another profile, receive ITA and file another application?
