Can I ask what number you called to inquire? I'm a little confused about OWP linking/approval. I received an AOR email about my application to sponsor my husband. Turns out he hasn't received anything at all.
I used the UCI and App # within my email to link our CIC online services account, but the only application that could be found was for Permanent Residency. Haven't received any correspondence about the OWP application we included. When you log in to your online account, does it show you the progress of both your OWP and your PR applications?
The Sponsor receives the AOR e-mail. In this message, you will find the Sponsor's UCI and the PR Application number (starting with F). Once you've linked the PR application, you should see a different UCI online - that's the PA's UCI.
You won't receive any correspondence about OWP until its approval. If you want to link the OWP on GCKey, use PA's UCI and the following steps:
Category: Temporary Resident
Sub-category: Work Permit and Extension
Use PA's UCI and PA's Family Name
Enter PA's Passport Information or PA's Place of Birth
Details of intended work in Canada
Type of Work Permit: Open (Initial Application or Extension)
Personal Information:
↳ Current Country of Residence: Canada
↳ Current Marital Status
↳ Which situation applies to the applicant: Applied for permanent residence as a spouse or common-law partner in Canada
