PR expired so reapplying through Express Entry

[itsricha]

Hi,

We had gotten the Canadian PR few years back where my husband was the Primary applicant. We had gone to collect the PR cards, got them but never stayed in Canada. The PR cards have now expired and we want to reapply through Express Entry process. This time I will be the Primary Applicant for the family.

I had a question regarding one of the questions in Express Entry Profile form.

Section - Immigration History and Citizenship
Q1. Has <name> applied to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada before? (required)

Since my husband had applied as Primary Applicant and not me, should I answer this question as a Yes or a No. I will be the Primary this time.
Secondly, if I do mark it as yes or no, what about the UCI number? Should I mention that or not.

TIA!!

Would really appreciate at least a couple of answers.

Would really appreciate at least a couple of answers.

The answer should be yes for both applicants.

Note that you need to renounce your PR status before you can reapply.
