I received AOR more than a week ago and still no biometrics request. Hopefully soon for all of us.

did you link your application online

 

[anil918918]

You have to use the PA's information in order to link to GCKEY. Sponsor and PA have different UCI. You have to use the application number that starts with "F_____"

yes i have used that F__ application id and UCI of PA but it says not found ...i will again try on Monday

Yes I was able to link it online on the first try.

For the question when it's asked how many people are on application you must include spouse and PA. Many make the mistake to just put 1 (PA)

Guys, do we need to send latest (tax year 2020) Notice of Assessment via webform after we file tax returns this year? Since by the time they open our applications, they might be expecting NOA for tax-year 2020.

Don't have to but you can if you want to do it.

Joining this thread because omg this whole thing is nerve wracking lol. And unfortunately me (foreign National residing in Qatar) and my husband (Canadian) got married during the pandemic (Dec 2020) . We couldn’t really have a long honeymoon .. I hope that doesn’t raise any red flags. Anyways we’ll be sending our application very soon. Wishing you all the very best !!

I dont normally submit my taxes til the very last month, around april ish so I also submitted my 2019 NOA.

side note: I'm so worried that if I get a new job, it'll affect the application due to the ROE I submitted. Any tips or wisdom on that? TIA

you can only link to one account at a time. try below

• Use Applicant Number & Family Name (family name in all CAPITAL UPPER CASE LETTERS)
• Enter Passport info only
• Enter MARRIED (of course, only if you are...)
• Enter Family number 2 (if it's just the both of you husband and wife, principal applicant and sponsor)

hey guys! When it comes to photos of the wedding celebrations + outings.. did anyone submit more than 10 photos? If yes, did that cause any problems?

Yes, we did submit more than 10 photos and it caused no harm.
Clearly mention the context of the photo and list the people in the photo.

This helps the initial processing stage but does not help with any backlog at any VO. The processing wait times will still be long
