Awesome! Chintan, could you please help me with the gc link, I tried every possible combination while linking the application but I haven't got any success yet.
Hi,
Try with PA's details only. PA's UCI, Passport details, DOB, File Number etc. Main thing is "how many people" to enter - In my case there are only 3 people (My dad, my mom and me) because I did not add my spouse as a co-signer. If you have a co-signer or any other dependent, you have to count them as well. Hope it helps.

Hi, I also got this morning, what should we expecting after the AOR, would it be Biometric or medical? I can not linked my Parents' application, therefore, I can not see the status of the application.
I received sposor approval today. I received AOR on March 25.

I don't have PA's UCI, the AOR has my UCI number, this is normal?

Yes, it's normal. AOR issues under sponsor's UCI.
Did your parent's visited to Canada anytime? if so there is UCI in their Visa sticker. If they did not visit then try with PA's last name.
If none of the options works then just DON'T WORRY. GCKEY is not the last stage of application, it is basically a tool to provide you more details. At least you know that your file is moving. IRCC will communicate with emails if not linked with GCKEY. not a big deal. Just chill :)

Also did you received Biometric letter? if not, you won't likely link to GCKEY. Before biometric letter, I was trying every week to link with GCKEY but never succeed and I gave up to link. But after biometric I tried only once and it linked!

Thank you Chintan for the clarification!

I haven't received Biometric letter yet, I just got AOR this midnight, so I am still waiting for that. What was your timeline for biometric after receiving AOR?

I received biometric on 5th July. I did not received separate email for AOR. I just received sponsor's approval letter which also mentions that file is transferred to Vancouver office. This is also considered as AOR.

Submitted application on Oct 6 2021 and have not received an AOR yet but the principal already received Biometrics and Medical requests. Has this happened to anyone? Does this mean we are approved as sponsors?
