Job bank must be renewed after getting ITA?

[NicoleD]

I received a strange email saying that I have to renew my job bank account if I want it to remain active. I logged in into my job bank account and when I fill in the EE number and the activation code for the job bank, I keep receiving the warning that "the key is already in use" and I cannot access my jobbank account.
Has anyone had this problem? What to do (I already emailed their IT team the technical issue, but I can only expect an answer within 1 week and I'm afraid they will block my job bank account)?

Ignore it. JB account is a mere formality to activate your EE profile. It is redundant after that.

not exactly. Its supposed to remain active for the entire process. How often they actually check this though is anyone's guess.
Once you get your PR you don't need it anymore.

Nope. Personal experience.

The sole purpose of JB was to connect applicants with an employer willing to provide an LMIA supported job so that the applicant gets access to 600 additional points hence an ITA. Even in such a scenario, the JB account becomes redundant the minute one gets 600 points/ITA. JB need not stay active throughout the process for any applicant.
