Can CIC account for express entry be also used for applying visitor visa for self ?

[Billoo3108]

Hi All,

I have a CIC account which has the CANADA Permanent Residence application in Progress.

In the meanwhile , while the PR application takes some time to get approved I want to apply for visior visa to Canada .

Can the same account (GC Key) be used or do I need to open a new one?

Has anyone faced it ?

Thanks
Shilpi
