    My husband has previously worked in Canada, so he already has a UCI number. Would there be any benefit to try and link the application using the UCI before we even receive the AOR? Or should we wait until the AOR comes through? Our application was received in Sydney on Aug 26. Thank you :)...

    So, I realized that I didn't select the date from the drop down menu and validated and printed the forms. Would it be ok to just hand write the dates in or should I go back, fill the date in and re-validate the forms and generate a new barcode? I only realized this while doing form IMM 5669...
