EEcanvan thanks for sharing !
Your brother has a lot more patience then us hehe
he does know however, that he can reapply thru EE, even if he already has an application via old paper system? If he is in a hurry this would certanly be faster.. :
Processing offices may encounter applicants who submitted an APR prior to the launch of Express Entry (before January 1, 2015) and also submitted an e-APR through the Express Entry system (on or after January 1, 2015).
Foreign nationals may apply for multiple immigration programs at once, as long as they have paid the required cost recovery fees for each program to which they have applied. For example, a foreign national could apply under the CEC if invited to do so through Express Entry, and could also apply under the caring for children class outside of the Express Entry system.
If an applicant has more than one application for permanent residence approved, the applicant must choose the program under which they would like to be granted their permanent resident status.
Once permanent resident status is granted, any other pending APRs should be administratively withdrawn and the applicant notified.
