Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship 2021

[sureshcoim]

You don't need UCI, you can use PA Name, Birthday and Passport details. For the number of people in the application, include the Parents, yourself and your spouse. Do not include the children. Goodluck!

Thank you!

there was no app # in the ghost update. i used principal applicant's UCI, last name and passport details. PA has visitor visa before so has UCI.

What status does it show at the moment ?

Good news for the ones who were able to link the application
Was anyone without the ghost update able to link with GC key?

Didn't work for me either. I submitted on 01 oct. I tried with number of people in application as 2 ..also as 3 (including myself)

It's random but It's too soon to worry I guess.

I see a lot of recent comments related to linking of the application to the GCKEY. I'm sorry for my ignorance but can someone explain on what this means, what is its significance and what is the process to link the application to GCKEY. Thanks in advance.

Its a mix. Some have got ghost updates. Some are still waiting. For some processing has started. I have applied around same time as you. I think it was 22-Nov. I dont have any update yet. If i go by trend on the posts, i generally see that those who have updates are the ones who submitted earlier in oct or early Nov. So they seem to be going on FIFO basis, which is fair.

First I submitted on October 8,2021 and then on November 23,2021 I received letter from cic for requested document IMM 5406 to as incomplete form which We did not find anything missing but still filled and followed the instruction as per letter. And then resubmit application on November 24,2021. Since then after didn't hear anything yet.

Just to be clear. Is this linking of application to GCKEY for paper based applications. I created my initial application in the IRCC portal. When I login to the portal, i dont see any additional link saying "Add (link) your application to your account to check your status” (as mentioned in the guideline). I already have an entry showing the status of my application. The current status is "Submitted".

You can see "Add" in GC key account. Not in Portal account.

I did online application to Permanent Resident Portal like everybody else. Linking it is through IRCC my account. Its not mandatory to link the application. But by doing so, you can track the status and get updates of your online application.
