How to create a new express entry profile after the original expires?

[utkarsh92]

Hi all,

I created my express entry profile last year, and it expired yesterday.
I read on CIC website that I should not create a new profile before my existing one expires, so I waited till today.

But, now when I try to create a new one, by clicking on 'Apply to move to Canada', I do not see the option for 'Express Entry'.

So, my question here is, do I first need to 'Withdraw' my existing profile (now expired), to be able to make a new one? Or, is there some other way to do so?

Please help me, as I want to stay in the pool.

Hey, I am facing the same issue. Can't see an option under my GC key account to create new express entry profile after previous profile expired. Were you find any solution?

Same here. Any update as to how to fix this issue?

Hi, I was able to see an option for creating new Express entry profile, once I received an expiry letter from IRCC and my previous profile got expired completely.

Sorry is there an issue with withdrawing and creating a new profile before expiry? I did it because ofbthe whole tie break rule and ́îwas hopeful for a specific draw ( didnt happen).. either way i read elsewhere that other persons did this. One thing inwas unsure of was whether i fill out my pfile and state i did apply for express entry before? This is one of the questions. I said yes because i had a profile but i never got an ITA. Should i have said no?

It should remain as yes and it will ask to input your expired profile ID number.

Okay great that's what I thought.
