Can I use my existing GCkey account from the past for new application?

Hi I am about to apply for study permit/visa and realised that I already have a GCkey account from a few years ago for my visitor visa application (which was approved). I managed to log into that account and saw my details there. Should I use the same GCkey account to apply for my study permit/visa or just create a new one this time because it's for different application?

thanks

Not only can you, it is highly encouraged that you use the existing one.

thank you, I will use the old one then.
what about if i actually have 2 existing gckey accounts? I just found that I had a gckey account for my express entry from last year, I withdrew from the pool few months later and then revoked the account, would it cause any issue?

thanks

Hello Members, need your input, Do I need a separate study permits for two separate universities - one in Montreal and one in Toronto? Can I use the same GC Key?

You need to decide which program and university you want to join and apply for only one study permit based on that university's offer letter.
