If your Express Entry-linked PR application is returned as incomplete after being nominated by a province, whether you need a fresh nomination certificate depends on the details:
- It depends on which province nominated you and their internal process. Different provinces handle this differently, so there's no single universal answer.
- If the return was due to missing documents (not an admissibility issue), some provinces will simply re-link your existing nomination to your resubmitted application rather than requiring a brand-new certificate.
- If the return relates to an admissibility concern, the situation is more serious and is unlikely to be resolved by simply reusing the same nomination — you'd need to address the underlying admissibility issue first.
Contact your nominating province's PNP office directly to confirm how they'll handle your specific case before resubmitting.
