Express entry application question- have you ever applied for PR before?

[Krish007]

Hello everyone, I have a doubt, plz help if anyone familiar to situation

I got Express entry ITA on 7 dec. And have submitted my express entry application this month on 10 dec ,
There is a question - did you apply for PR before yes or no ?
I have answered (yes) because I created express entry profile before and after 1 year it got expired .
In second question they asked express profile number I have provided my expired ee profile number.


So . Now after submitting someone told me I have select no because just creating express entry profile not means apply for PR .

So now my doubt is that -

Did my response to this question yes . Anyway effect on my express entry final decision?

all responses will be really appreciated
Thanks

It shouldn’t have much material impact, but I think you can send a LOE through web form explaining why you answered yes to the question (just to clarify in case of any misunderstanding)

Hello there. I have a similar situation as the OP. What I've been getting a ton of contradictory info is on the matter that :
1) If someone does not have a UCI and did not accept an ITA, they need to select: NO, they have never applied to IRCC nor for Express Entry before. Doubt #1 : When I did submit my express entry profile over a year ago I did get a pdf acknowledgement from the IRCC system that contained my EE profile number, job seeker code AND a UCI number starting with CAN000********** So now in such a case should I answer YES or NO to the Have I ever applied to IRCC before (I was not fortunate to receive an ITA despite a 471 score) - for more context - I have also submitted EOIs to 3-4 PNPs apart from the EE submission

Query #2: I did submit a few EOI applications to some provincial nominee programs like Saskatchewan, PEI, Manitoba etc. Though no successful PNP nomination granted yet. So now considering that I had a previously expired EE profile (no ITA grant) and that I've applied through EOIs to other provinces aside from the EE system (but no PNP grant.. yet) so is it correct to answer YES, applied to IRCC and Yes, applied to EE before when I submit a new profile (since I do have a UCI id number too, though it begins with CAN and isn't a 8/10 digit number)

Clarity and confirmation on this would be immensely appreciated. Anybody?
