You know just did it.
The system says. 'We are processing your application. We will send you a message when there is an update or if we need more information from you.'
then I tried to query with this link below again, assuming anything changes through the system.
https://services3.cic.gc.ca/ecas/authenticate.do
it says
We were not able to identify you using the information you provided. There could be three possible reasons....blah blah...
I guess I should regularly check PR card through only cic login just like old days.. But if linking accounts is mandatory then this means I wasted 70 days..
anyway thanks again. we will see
