Hi,
I forgot my password to MyCIC and cannot retrieve through security questions. After registered a new account, I was trying to link the previous application to the new account. However, system shows "no applications matching the information". I'm pretty sure I entered information right as I copied info from IMM5257 form.

Anyone has similar issues?

Tried to contact (613) 944-4000 but always busy. question@cic.gc.ca or web-tech-support@cic.gc.ca or online question form never replied...

Do you have an application in process? If not, then I don't think it is necessary to link applications...this is just my opinion

Yep, it's in process. I think I got a message to request for Passport. But I have to log into the account to print out the request letter before sending the passport. That's where I got stuck

You can't do this. You can't be making references to an existing account, in fact you shouldn't even be able to create a new myCIC account using the same passport.

And yes if you lost your password and can't retrieve it then you will have to contact their support... and be super pacient.

I have the same problem and it is impossible to get in contact with them. The details I have entered are definitely correct.

Would love to know if you sorted it out.

Thanks

No chance! I would never get in if I apply again. It is way too late to do that! There must be a better way!

Call them. That is the only thing you can do.

Please let me know if you found any solution to this issue. I got my passport request and now I am unable to login or link my previous application. I have been trying to contact CIC about this for the last 2 months and getting a response/solution from them is close to impossible.
I finally gave up and applied for the second time. Got a call from delhi immigration saying, they would be withdrawing the second one since my first one is approved. Im stuck and dont know what else to do.
The only way left is to somehow get the first account unlocked. Kindly let me know if you have managed to get through the login/linking. Thank you!

Hi! I am unable to link my account and my application is still in process. Could you let me know what you ended up doing?
