Should I apply for PNP and withdraw if things get better?

I need you guys advise on how to proceed forward with PR.

Here’s my situation:
I have a 4y bachelor degree in with 1 year job experience in NOC B - that leaves me with the crs score of 463. I created a profile for EE and the wait game is on. I am based in NS, and i can easily apply for PNP for additional 600 points.

My situation is I got a good job offer in AB, starting sept 2022- so initial plan was wait until aug to check for any movement in federal draws before deciding whether to proceed or not. However, Im thinking if its wise to apply for PNP and then withdraw later if things get better.
This is so stressful. What would you do if you were in my place?

P.s - 1.5 years left in my WP if that's relevant. I'm so stressed out, any advise would go a long way :)

Ultimately no one can make this decision for you.

There are a lot of unknowns right now with regards to when draws will restart, etc.

What's your priority? If PR is your priority, then I would go for the sure thing rather than waiting and hoping that another option works out where there is no guarantee.

Ultimately your call...

definitely go for PNP, you can extend your WP with the PNP support letter.
at the same time you could wait for EE CEC invitation.
just need to spend some money for PNP and can get a guarantee of PR, why not?

Agreed with this. I had the option of:
  1. PNP (received employer commitment and SINP nomination)
  2. Common-Law Sponsorship (eligible in July)
  3. Waiting for EE draws to resume (who knows?)
As I had the nomination certificate and work-permit support letter in my hand, I just went for it and it feels great.

Now I don't feel stressed about waiting for EE draws or that feeling of "owing" someone via spousal sponsorship, so I just went for the sure thing.
