ITA question, have you ever applied for PR before?

[topwira]

Hello everyone,

I got ITA on the last draw, now one of the questions that is asked is :-

-Have you applied to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada before?
-Have you applied for Permanent Residence (PR) before?
- Please provide the Permanent Residence (PR) file number


Now I have never applied for PR before but I did apply for express entry in 2015 and one year passed by and expired so I created new one which eventually i got ITA. Now do answer the questions above as:-

-yes
-yes
- the express entry no. E01234

or I should mention no?

Please help.

Cheers

You answered your own question.

when they say 'apply', they mean post ITA when a person files for application. Once an application is filed, UCI is generated.
Since you only had EE profile before, say 'no'.

I have called IRCC and they asked me to answer yes since I have a express entry profile number. They don't think it's post ITA. As soon as you create a express entry profile regardless if it's ineligible or eligible, you still get an express entry profile number. And you supposed put yes on there.

What happened later? Did you encounter issues during the process? or it went well?

Thanks!
