But I can not able to link my application to GCkey. Is it normal ? How long it usually takes to link the application ?
I have already linked my application to PR tracker but there's no update of AOR. It still shows "Document Received."

Summited date is August 13th after that I have no update.

I know not receive AOR is still normal but I am wondering if having not received a "document received" notification is normal or not after three months? Should I make a phone call? If I should, what is the best number to contact IRCC?

Thank you so much!
The AOR is unfortunately the only notification they send of having received it. There's nothing before that.

You should be able to link it to GCKey.
Please follow the steps in the following post and go through point #12.

Is the GCKey thing something I should've signed up for after I've submitted my application?
Also, is the GCKey account the same for whatever Government of Canada service you use? I have a student loan that I'm paying back and I have a GCKey account from that, but whenever I try to log into GCKey for Immigration using that account, it logs me in but it brings me to a page that says your "login session is either invalid or has expired."

It's not required, you don't need to sign up for GCKey. Plenty of people just use the other trackers.

It's your IRCC Secure Account, but the site is notoriously glitchy. You may have to use a private window to login.

August applicants, is anyone stuck at the Background verification for about a month, while all other requirements (eligibility of sponsor & PA, medical, biometrics) are completed? What is the normal turn around time for Background verification step?

Background for many people is often the longest. Our background has been in progress since the day we received AOR :oops:

Got my reply today. Rejected because my dumbutt forgot to include the checklist. Guess I'll make my way to the November thread! :/
