Do provinces automatically send a Notification of Interest (NOI) after Express Entry pool selection?

Documents Needed

  • Express Entry profile (province of interest selections)

    Some provinces send an automatic NOI based on this; others require a separate EOI submission.

Step-by-Step

An applicant asked whether, after submitting their Express Entry profile, they'd automatically receive a Notification of Interest (NOI) from provinces they're interested in, or whether they need to apply separately.

What the group explained:
  • If you've indicated interest in specific provinces in your profile and get selected, you should generally receive an NOI from those provinces automatically. However, some provinces require you to separately complete an Expression of Interest (EOI) rather than relying solely on the automatic NOI process.


Practical takeaway:
  • Check the specific PNP streams for each province you're interested in, since some rely on automatic NOI from your Express Entry profile while others require you to submit a separate EOI application.

  • Don't assume all provinces work the same way — provincial nomination processes vary significantly.

Dos, Don'ts & Tips

  • Tip: Not all provinces work the same way — some send an automatic NOI from your EE profile, while others require you to separately submit an EOI.
