It’s totally not about which is the better way, they both offer different options. If you’re a Skilled Worker or Professional Businessman, you can apply through Express Entry. You are required to have a good CRS lf you do not qualify for Express Entry or your CRS score is too low to qualify then you can take the PNP route.

You will be required to take the IELTS test and need to know your NOC code to know whether your occupation is the demand in that province or not.  Most people will apply to all the provinces hoping that at least one of them will reply back with a job offer. You too can create your profile in the Express Entry even if you don’t qualify as some provinces pick candidates from the EE pool to fill vacancies.
