A candidate nominated by New Brunswick's PNP (NBPNP) asked how long after provincial nomination they could expect a federal Invitation to Apply (ITA) through their Express Entry profile.
What the group advised:- The provincial nomination typically shows up in your Express Entry profile within about 2-3 months of being nominated, sometimes sooner.
- Once the nomination appears, you must accept it in your EE profile. After acceptance, an ITA is typically issued in the very next Express Entry draw, since a provincial nomination adds enough CRS points to almost guarantee selection.
Historical note: Specific draw frequency and point thresholds change over time — check the current Express Entry draw schedule and your CRS score with nomination points added.
