Yes, there are a few NSNP streams that work separately from Express Entry. These include the Skilled Worker Stream, Occupations in Demand Stream, Entrepreneur Stream, and International Graduate Entrepreneur Stream. With these options, candidates can apply right to the province instead of going through the federal Express Entry system. On the other hand, streams linked to Express Entry usually have quicker processing times and extra perks like automatic CRS score boosts. Which route you go with, Express Entry or a non-Express Entry stream, really depends on your qualifications, whether you have a job offer, and what your long-term immigration plans are.
