Yes, and you can create tracker accounts for both PA and a sponsor (sponsor's acc will only show sponsor's eligibility tho) plus create a gckey and link the application there (some more data to daily look into and worry about

@whiterabbit please is it compulsory to create a gckey ? Just asking for clarification.Yes, and you can create tracker accounts for both PA and a sponsor (sponsor's acc will only show sponsor's eligibility tho) plus create a gckey and link the application there (some more data to daily look into and worry about
It is not. Moreover, it can be tricky and requires some patience - there's plenty of discussions about how to create it and how to "enter space after the last name and after the number of applicants"
AFAIK the only actual difference is that PA will receive updates to the accounts instead of emails. E.g. instead of receiving a BIL to the email, PA will get "you have new correspondence" with the actual BIL in gckey.
I am the sponsor and have created my IRCC account. I was able to link the principal applicant’s application successfully. However, when I try to link the sponsor(myself) application in the same account, the system cannot find it. I am using the combination of UCI and application number.
Does anyone know why this might be happening? Instead GCKey, I use my bank info to login. I don't think this makes any difference, does it? Thanks

I believe you can only link the application to one account on gckey. However you can make trackers for both the sponsor and PA.
You have one application and you already linked it
You can create trackers for both as they are different (sponsor's eligibility for the sponsor vs everything else for the PA)
