Application Cancelled - Help and How to import old info into new EE profile

[Lyon37]

Hi All,

Today, I received the very heartbreaking news that my application (ITA - 19th Oct; AOR - 5th Dec) was cancelled. All because I had impulsively and thoughtlessly indicated Quebec as a province of interest. I played around with whether I should pick Ontario and maybe picked it many times. At the last moment, I just picked Quebec thoughtlessly, not expecting that it mattered. My organization has an affiliated office in Montreal and I'm around Francophones constantly (work for a French company and speak broken French), so I just picked it - even though I have family in Southern Ontario and Toronto makes more sense. In any case, I spent so long checking and rechecking all other aspects of my application that this seemed unimportant.

Anyway, now I am wondering if I just should pick myself up and reapply as quickly as possible or consider appealing - since it was not a stated intention, just a random interest in the application. Please advise. I am very disappointed because it seems like robots read our applications...not human beings.

Also, how do I make a new Express Entry Profile, using my old information?

Many thanks for your help. I am glad to have this forum on this sad day.

You need to create a new one from scratch.

Thanks for your input, but you're not right about this. My cancellation letter clearly states that they will maintain my records for 60 days and that I can use them to create a new profile.

That doesn't mean you can import those records.

You have to create a new one. "If you still want to come to Canada as a skilled immigrant, you must submit a new Express Entry profile through your MyCIC account. "

Actually, he's right. The cancellation letter says so but there is no way to retrieve the informations. We had to do it a couple months ago after rejection, you just have to do it from scratch, submit a new express entry profile and wait for ITA...
