PNP now or EE in few months - what is best ?

[kbaden]

Hi Friends

I have a hope to get province nomination in the next few weeks as PNP officer contacted me and asked where they should send the file to
however , if I wait till April 2017 my score for EE will be around 465 which is not bad for the next draws

Which road should i take ? what do you advice knowing that PNP process may take up to 12 to 16 months with some possibilities of errors and reviews
while EE is electronic and it takes only 6 months

on the other view , a bird on hand better than two on a tree ( who knows what will happen in next few months for EE )

i appreciate any feed back or guidance on this
do you know anyone may have withdraw PNP based application after getting an ITA for EE

Thank you

Is this Ontario PNP ?
Is this restarted ?

No not Ontario - Paper based PNP from other Province

generally EE process is faster than PNP process .

I guess i found the answer on the CIC website - it seems ok to apply for both and whichever gets approved first the second will be canceled
this is really Cool from CIC

Here is their Q&A

Q
I applied on paper before, and then applied again through Express Entry. Do I need to withdraw my paper application?
No. If you get permanent resident status through Express Entry, we will automatically withdraw your paper application and notify you.

Likewise, if your paper application is approved and you get permanent resident status, we will cancel your Express Entry application.
