What to do about a SINP EOI when your Express Entry profile has expired

Documents Needed

  • New Express Entry profile

    Created after retaking IELTS, since the old profile expired.

  • EE profile expiry letter/confirmation

    Sent to the provincial program (e.g., SINP) to link the new profile to the existing nomination or Expression of Interest (EOI).

Step-by-Step

If your Express Entry (EE) profile expires while you have an active provincial Expression of Interest (EOI) — for example with Saskatchewan's SINP — the EOI itself doesn't automatically become invalid, but the reference number situation needs to be actively managed.

What group members advised:
  1. Create a new Express Entry profile once you've retaken any required tests (such as IELTS).

  2. Proactively inform the provincial program (SINP in this case) about the EE profile expiry, along with proof of the expiry, and request that they link your existing EOI/nomination to the new profile.


The key point: don't assume the province will automatically detect a new profile number — reach out directly so your provincial nomination file stays linked to the correct, active Express Entry profile.

Dos, Don'ts & Tips

  • Do: Notify the provincial program directly about your EE profile expiry and request they link it to your new profile.
  • Tip: Keep documentation of your old profile's expiry to support the linking request.
