Hello,

I am trying to link my paper application for TRV FOR MY PARENTS from VFS India submitted in Delhi on 16th Nov 2018.
Family name is missing in Passport.

So When i try to select - > Family Name, Given Name and DOB Option
- Family Name - ABC SINGH
- GIVEN Name - ABC SINGH

But this is not working .

Also in my receipt I have , Tracking Number and App Ref No.
WHat is this Application Ref No ? This not same Application Number what needed to link application as that one is 15 Character .

But one from VFS is LIKE THIS - INIC/161119/2222/22

I am not the best person for this question. I have problem linking my application currently to my cic account...
I am still trying it until I can get up early enough to reach the call centre and find out what's wrong with mine. I tried all possible combination already...

For their TRV application forms, you should have entered their entire name in the Family Name field and left the Given Name field as blank.

Not sure how they have been issued passports without any family name.


Also in my receipt I have , Tracking Number and App Ref No.

It is just the VFS receipt number, not the application number which is issued by the visa office

Hi @Bryanna But Given Name is required in Online Application look up search form.
But in PDF those are not required , so the instructions from CIC was to leave them blank in PDF.

I am not sure what to do for Online Lookup Search. Message from IRCC is to use a whitespace but that doesn’t work too !

You can enter a blank space in the Given Name field. Maybe that will work.

You most likely won't be able to link their applications as the name fields were filled incorrectly. You'll need to wait for regular paper processing updates (Read: A message when the decision is made and their passports are returned to the VAC)

It has already been processed??

If you received visitor acknowledgement letter, then you can link application online using Application number and UCI available in acknowledgement letter.
