U can run the both of them concurrently. U do not have to inform CIC. U are not breaking any laws, its allowed. DO NOT withdraw ur pnp until u get approved. Whichever one gets approved first is the one u withdraw. I have seen pple on other forums do that. Best of luck Ryan126.Guys need suggestion. If i apply through express entry and get invitation. Do i have to inform to cic about it or do i have to withdraw my PNP application? As i have my PNP PR application in process. June 30, 2016 applicant.
