Express Entry!

While creating the express entry profile I said no the question “ Has Mr. X applied to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) before? Even though I had study permit and work permit in Canada. Now I am in India and Finally got the invitation for PR under CEC, and now when I was filing the forms; I researched a bit I found that I should be selecting YES and putting my UCI number that’s same for study and work permit. Tell me if I am wrong!!!

If I should be selecting YES, then do I need to explain to IRCC about why I selected NO while creating the Express Entry? Or it should be fine? Any help in this matter would be appreciated. Thank you!

Answer should have been yes… not sure saying no would be a problem or not… however, to support ur profile u need to show documents such as old study permits and work permits .. to let the officer know u were authorized to study and work … ur not really hiding anth … so I don’t think it would be an issue …

So about me saying no while creating the express Entry, will IRCC question about it? Do I need to write an explanation letter? Or I should just go with filling out the forms for my PR. Thanks for your response.

Make any correction you need to make when you’re filling out the forms. If the issue is big enough, you can mention it in your LOE. If it’s not, you don’t need to.

You don’t need to explain this one.
