The Problem:
user = request.user.is_authenticated makes the variable user = True, so when you use it in
if request.user.is_authenticated and Profile.objects.get(applicant=user, status= 'Update'):,
you are really doing the following:
if request.user.is_authenticated and Profile.objects.get(applicant=True, status= 'Update'):
So of course there will be no matches since no applicant equals True.

The Solution
Change the two lines to:

user = request.user    # Now user equals the actual user
if user.is_authenticated and Profile.objects.get(applicant=user, status= 'Update'):

On another note:
I hesitate to use a get query without putting it in a try/except statement so that you can handle what should happen if a Profile is not found:

user = request.user    # Now user equals the actual user
if user.is_authenticated:
    try:
        profile = Profile.objects.get(applicant=user, status= 'Update')
    except Profile.DoesNotExist:
        # Code to handle what happens if a Profile is NOT found
        # Maybe redirect to a page not found
        # or maybe redirect to a page to create an applicant?

EDIT

def index(request):
    user = request.user
    if user.is_authenticated:
        try:
            profile = Profile.objects.get(applicant=user)
        except Profile.DoesNotExist:
            print("Profile Does Not Exist")
            # Redirect to a Profile creating page?
        else:
            if profile.status == 'Update':
                return redirect('user-profile-update')
            else:
                return redirect('user-profile')
    
context = {
    'check_profile_update':check_profile_update,
}
return render(request, 'dashboard/index.html', context)

Edit 2
As per your comment, the final working version is then:

def index(request):
    user = request.user
    if user.is_authenticated:
        try:
            profile = Profile.objects.get(applicant=user)
        except Profile.DoesNotExist:
            print("Profile Does Not Exist")
            # Redirect to a Profile creating page?
        else:
            if profile.surname == None:
                return redirect('user-profile-update')
            else:
                return redirect('user-profile')
    
context = {
    'check_profile_update':check_profile_update,
}
return render(request, 'dashboard/index.html', context)
