'Update not submitted' showing on your profile after ITA? Members say it's normal — finish it in the eAPR

Step-by-Step

An applicant who received an ITA noticed the home screen showed 'Update not submitted' — with one tab marked 'updated' and the rest 'Transmitted' — despite never editing anything post-ITA, and worried with 8 days left to file. The thread's answer:

  1. This is a known, harmless quirk. Members reported the exact same display on their own profiles, and it did not affect receiving AOR.

  2. You can't transmit changes after ITA anyway. Once the ITA is issued the profile is effectively locked — pending-looking items can't be pushed through, and that's by design.

  3. The 'pending' questions get answered in your eAPR. The tab in question held items like intended province of settlement and provincial nomination status — members confirmed these are filled in the e-APR (the post-ITA PR application) itself, so nothing is lost.

  4. Submit the eAPR before your deadline as normal. No corrective action was needed; the advice was simply to proceed with the application.

Dos, Don'ts & Tips

  • Tip: Post-ITA status labels like 'Update not submitted' on locked profile tabs are cosmetic — the same questions reappear in the eAPR where they actually count.
  • Don't: Don't burn your ITA window troubleshooting portal display quirks — if the profile is locked post-ITA, proceed with the eAPR.
