2025 PR Application Timeline

Have you been able to link your application to your online account? I’m still unable to link mine despite using the correct details. Though they said it might take up to 5 business days for it to be updated. I’ll keep trying.

It took me 10-15 tries total lol its really annoying just keep trying with different info

You don’t need to call IRCC or contact anyone for your application number. First, they will send you a temporary application number (starting with "XG", like XG1234567890). After a few days, they will send you your permanent application number, which is the same as the XG number but without the "X"—for example, G1234567890.
You can only link your PR application to your GCKey account once you receive the permanent application number (the one starting with "G").
Until you link your application to GCKey, you won’t be able to check your status online.
If you applied for PR through a lawyer, the lawyer will receive the application number by email. You need to ask them for the number and let them know that you plan to link the application to your own GCKey account.

If i have a represntative then XG number will be recieved by the representative or they will send it to me ?

your representative will receive both Temporary Application Number(XG#######) and Permanent Application Number(G#######).

They don’t ask for a police clearance from everyone. It’s only required for those who have lived in a country other than their habitual residence for more than six months. If you have lived in a foreign country, you should submit the police clearance with your PR application to avoid delays.

Which of the country's police clearance certificate they would ask? Your home country or the other country you lived for more than six months.

I submitted my PR since January, I've only received XG number and biometric request.

they will ask for PCC of the countries you lived for more than six months for sure and its better you include your home country's PCC to avoid application delay just incase they ask.

Check your email you may have received your Permanent Application Number(G #). try linking your application on GC key.

Thanks for your response, you're actually right, I just noticed they have changed my application number from XG to G in thr biometrics request they sent in June, but I have been trying to link it since then and it's not working. Also Is it Okay to submit my home country's PPC and the PCC of country i lived over 6 month now, or should i wait till they request

you should be able to link your application if you enter all the information correctly. if you are unsure about some information, you can download your submitted application and check the information you trying to enter to link your application.

its totally up to you whether you want to submit PCC now or until they request. but there is no harm submitting now.

Honestly speaking, that was exactly what I did, I downloaded the application, everything I put was correct, yet it's not linking... I've tried all the available options, no way

Call IRCC they’ll guide you on the correct details needed to link. That was how I linked mine after months of trials.
