There is no official fix given by Canadian immigration for this issue. The only fix that we have tried and tested to work every time is deleting the browser cookies.
Yes, the deletion of browser cookies specifically from the Canada visa website will help you log in to the website in one attempt.
There is no need for any other solution.
Using Chrome’s ‘In-Cognitio’ mode or Mozilla Firefox’s “Private” mode does work the first time you open and log in Canada visa website.
