i accidentally opened account and it says application updated but nothing changed...after i login again it went back to submitted..what's that mean?
that is a ghost update... probably, something got updated in your application (some internal status)... what is your AOR/Stream?

Canada is an English (and French) speaking nation and if you need assistance in creating and submitting your EE profile which is the simplest of the immigration process, then forget about hunting for a job here. Survival will be hard if one cannot do the basic things for immigration without assistance. I have seen people who use consultants struggle after coming to Canada as they are constantly looking for help. People planning to immigrate to Canada and other western countries should know life won't be easy if one cannot do the simplest things on their own. I have seen queries of people who are using consultants. It's absurd to a level that people don't even know what they are doing and some people ask very basic questions that have answers through a simple google search. Personally, I know a well-educated person who was trying to get his education assessment report for over 1 year. He was stuck with false information that his consultant told him. Then, I helped him get his WES kinda report in less than 2 months. I advised him not to come to Canada if he cannot do this straight forward process. Again just my thought and I hope I can have a "say" here as I last checked this is a PUBLIC forum.
Indeed, too many people are demanding too much without having a basic picture of their own capability. Most immigration programs of IRCC are straightforward and basically they could be DIYed (except Business Class or self-employment programs). It is highly possible to suffer rather than to live even after moving to Canada if one does not understand the basic steps of EE and is not willing to do a simple search.

Why would you use a consultant when the express entry is the easiest and straight forward system? I just don't get it unless people have a valid reason.
1- I was told by most people that's the way to go and there is a higher chance of getting rejected if you do it by yourself since you are more prone to making mistakes.
2- I always get super anxious and overwhelmed when I need to do paperwork with government, having my future depending on that decision is pretty hectic. So, I rather minimize all potential issues
3- My family suggested it as well as offering to pay for it.
So, I was like why not? But my consultant has been pretty MIA with 2 word replies, so in retrospect I should have just done it by myself

Don't worry mate, I have been living here and doing A LOT more than "just surviving" for the past 8 years. You do you, let me do me :)
