Switching from BCPNP to Express Entry

I was successful in getting a BC provincial nomination and am now on an employer-specific visa. I applied through the non-express entry route as time was running out on my previous visa and I hadn't gotten the required educational and language assessments to be eligible for express entry.

My question is, can I apply for Express Entry now? I don't believe I can use my provincial nomination for Express Entry but I think I will scrape enough points to get an invitation anyway. But when filling out the EE profile, it asks if I have a provincial nomination, and I won't be able to say no. I haven't yet gotten my english test so I am unable to submit my EE profile and see what happens.

Do you think this is possible??

The PNP paper processing time is about 18 months which makes it very hard to move forward in life.

Thanks in advance for any of your thoughts or advice :)
