An applicant asked whether, after creating an Express Entry profile, each province automatically sends a notification about PNP eligibility, and whether they should then apply to that province's PNP program.
What the group clarified:- Each province has its own process — there's no single, automatic notification system across all of them. The best approach is to check each province's individual immigration website for their specific requirements.
- Some provinces use a Notification of Interest (NOI) sent to your EE profile if they're interested in you based on your profile data — this is closer to automatic.
- Other provinces require you to proactively submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) rather than waiting to be noticed — meaning you have to actively apply to be considered, rather than relying on the province reaching out first.
Takeaway: don't assume all provinces work the same way — check whether your target province uses an NOI (passive/automatic) system or requires an EOI (active application) before deciding whether to just wait or take initiative.
