What information does the sponsor need to link their application to the online account. Can the principal applicant and the sponsor both link the application through their individual accounts?

I just got a message in my account saying that they need my marriage certificate in order to continue processing my application.

I'm freaking out a bit because I did submit my marriage certificate with the application already.

I'm not sure what to do here... Any advice?
Hi there, same thing happened to me today... Any update on your case ?

I was married outside Canada and had to have my marriage certificate translated to English. Apparently the translation I submitted with my application when I originally mailed it in did not convince the officer who reviewed it that it was a valid marriage certificate. There was a note in the request letter they sent me reminding me that a record of solemnization of marriage is not the same as a marriage certificate. So I suspect that they thought I submitted a record of solemnization.

Now, I happened to have gotten another translation of my marriage certificate done right after I got married which very clearly shows that the document is a legal marriage certificate. I uploaded a copy of this translation to replace the original.

The reason I didn’t submit this translation with my application originally is because you do not get your documents returned to you and I wanted to keep this translation and the original document for my own records. But since in the request letter they only ask you to upload a copy of the document, I went ahead and did so.

I happened to have access to some legal counsel and was advised to go ahead and do exactly what I did.

Relax, just send them again. It won’t delayed ur application. Mine is they need my family info as I send it to them with my application. Then after a month I got my MR.

My Background Check finally changed from "Not Applicable" to "We are processing your background check." September 19 applicant here.
Still no news about OWP :(
That's good to hear. My father is a September 21 applicant so hopefully we can expect background check to start soon.

Stay positive, hopefully you hear something about your OWP soon.
