A member asked whether you can pursue multiple provinces and the federal Express Entry program simultaneously. The thread's consolidated answer:
- Yes — and Express Entry is the hub. Create one EE profile (you need your credential assessment and language results in hand) and select 'all provinces' as your destination preference. Any interested province can then send a notification of interest to that single profile. You do not file a separate federal application per province.
- Some provinces pull from the pool passively. Members noted Ontario and Alberta (at the time) selected candidates directly from the Express Entry pool — no separate registration needed.
- Others require their own EOI. Saskatchewan (SINP) was the named example where you must create an expression of interest in the province's own system. Several provinces work this way, and job offers or provincial connections unlock further streams.
- There are ~80 PNP streams — research is on you. The closing advice: with dozens of streams whose criteria differ (job offer, ties, occupation lists), identify which ones fit your profile rather than expecting one application to cover everything.
Practical setup: one Express Entry profile with 'all provinces' + separate EOIs in each province whose system requires one and whose criteria you meet. Nothing prevents all of these running in parallel.
