@Scarbz would you mind sharing your timeline please . I have applied since August 28,2024 and still waiting though biometrics etc are done already.
We are on similar timelines - I too applied in August 2024. Just called IRCC and checked the last notes on the file. They confirmed the last note on my file was from Nov 2024, when the biometrics were updated. No updates/officer notes since then. Hopefully, we are close to getting an update soon.
I don’t know what’s happening ,,, but now what I see that my medical details are showing empty ,,, and when I googled it and I came to know it’s positive thing which means some office in working on your file …
Go to IRCC Secure Account https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/account.html and sign in using:
- GCKey or
- Sign-In Partner (bank login)
2. Choose “Link an existing application”
Once logged in:
- Click “Link application to this account”
Pick the category that matches what you applied for, for example:
- Permanent Residence
- Study Permit
- Work Permit
- Visitor Visa
- Citizenship
Choosing the wrong category is the #1 reason linking fails.4. Enter your application details
You must enter the info exactly as it appears on your application. IRCC gives you a few search options, such as:
- Application number + family name
- UCI + family name (A UCI has either eight or 10 numbers. It will be in one of these formats: 0000-0000 or 00-0000-0000)
- Passport info + personal details
- Use the same city of birth format IRCC has (try different variations if unsure)
- If asked for number of family members → include yourself
If the info matches IRCC’s system, your application will link instantly
After that, you’ll see it on your account dashboard.
If it doesn’t work (very common )
- Try a different search option
- Double-check capitalization and spelling
- Wait 5–10 days after submission (applications aren’t always linkable immediately)
- You only get 5 attempts per day — don’t burn them all at once
No AOR? I have applied February 2024. Received biometric on April. Today I received Pre Arrival. Did not receive AOR. It took long time for us because my partner had to submit some extra documents.
User the following link https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/account.html
For Protected Persons, paper applications can take months before being uploaded
Until then, the system cannot find it
If NOT, wrong application category selected
You must choose exactly:Permanent Residence
Protected persons and convention refugees in Canada
Details must match IRCC records exactly
Even a small mismatch causes failure:
Family name spelling (including hyphens or spaces)
Given name order
Date of birth
Place of birth
Country of birth
If NOT
Identification method:
Try Application Number + Family Name
(NOT UCI this time)
Enter details exactly as on your AOR
Family name: EXACT spelling (try ALL CAPS once)
Given name:
Try once with full given name
Try once leaving it blank
Place of birth:
Use city/town only, not country
Click search
If it fails again → STOP
Go to IRCC Webform
Select:
* Permanent Residence
* Protected persons / Refugees
Message them with your concern, they will guide you accordingly
Are you in pilot stream or something? As I noticed most people applied 2023 got no any updates.
Then you’re very lucky! Congrats. I’m Feb 2024 applicant no updates since the eligibility letter last year.
