Hey
@Kukupatel , here's what i've asked IRCC if i can apply more than 2 PR applications and received the answer from IRCC (long read)
The
Express Entry (EE) is a system which includes
an online account, through which IRCC chooses skilled immigrants as permanent residents. It manages applications for permanent residence under the following federal economic immigration programs:
We invite you to determine if you are
eligible to immigrate under one of the above federal immigration programs before you start the EE process.
You can be in an EE pool for
one year (the date is available in
your account). Your EE profile will expire if you are not invited to apply within that time frame. A message will be sent through your profile to advise you once the 12 months are up. Find out what are the
next steps if you are not invited to apply.
Important information if you are invited to apply:
You can choose to decline the invitation, in which case your candidacy will be put back in the pool, as long as you still meet the entry criteria and you may be invited to apply again. If you do not apply
within 90 days and you have not declined the invitation, your invitation will expire and you will need to create a new EE profile
and be accepted again in the pool to be considered in future rounds.
Our website contains a multitude of information such as the
frequently asked questions about Express Entry. If, after consulting the information available on our website you have further questions, you may
contact us.
Withdrawal of application - Centralized Intake Office - Sydney
If you wish to withdraw your application, we invite you to send us a
signed written request before a final decision is reached in your file, as follows:
In both cases, please include:
- Your full name,
- Your date of birth,
- Your address,
- The date you sent your application,
- Your client ID/UCI (if you have one),
- The type of application (e.g., sponsorship of my spouse),
- The reason for the withdrawal, and
- A copy of the e-Payment receipt or a copy of both sides of the payment receipt form (IMM 5401).
For sponsorship applications only, please also provide the following information about the principal applicant:
- Full name,
- Client ID/UCI (if available), and
- Date of birth.
Important reminder
If your file is being processed outside Canada, please also send your withdrawal request to the responsible
visa office.
What happens next?
The office will review your letter and let you know if your request to withdraw has been accepted. Please note that a withdrawal request will only be considered if permanent residence status has not yet been given.
The amount of the refund, if approved, will depend on the processing stage of your application:
- If the processing of your application has not started, you will be refunded the total amount.
- If the processing of your application has started, only the Right of Permanent Residence Fee (RPRF) will be refunded.
If your withdrawal request is accepted, a refund should be issued within 16 weeks. If applicable, it will be given to the person identified as the payer. If it should be given to someone else, you have to give the name and address of that person in your request.
Multiple permanent residence applications
If you are applying to immigrate to Canada, there are many
immigration categories available to you. Please note that the
Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) does not prohibit multiple applications*.
If an applicant has more than one application for permanent residence (APR) approved, the responsible office will advise them to choose the category/class under which they would like to be granted permanent resident status.
Once permanent resident status is granted, any other pending APR should be withdrawn and the applicant notified.
*For example, you may apply simultaneously for two different streams in the economic class (e.g., Federal Skilled Worker Class and Provincial Nominee Class).
Sincerely,
Myriam, agent 4551
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada
