HOW TO LINK AN APPLICATION TO CIC ACCOUNT - STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTION

[bahar.april]

Hi everyone,

Alaria thank you for providing invaluable information. I have some misunderstanding here. Could anyone kindly helpme?

I (sponsor) have received AOR1 which includes an Application Number & UCI.

I have signed up two GCKEY accounts( one for my spouse(PA) & one for myself(sponsor)).

As it is mentioned in the forum:

1. I (sponsor) can not link the paper application to my account" because I am not my spouses representative. Right?

2. I should link our application to my spouse's (PA's) account.

2.a. Can I use the UCI & Application number emailed to me? As mentioned in the forum, I can not because our UCI differs right?

2.b. What about my Application number? Can it be used in my spouse's (PA's) GCKEY account?

3. According to my situation:

In part 6: should I do the instructions in the blue text or red text?

6. In "Application details: Please select one" select one of the four options. If you know an application number (if you've received AOR previously and it contains application number), you can select "Application Number and Family Name" option. If you don't know either application number or UCI, then select "Family Name, Given Name and Date of Birth".



Thank you for your time and concern

You can link to any account, either sponsor's or PA's. This also answered is the instruction, please read it again if you've missed it.

You can't use sponsor's UCI. All the information used must be PA's information.

Application number is the same for a sponsor and a PA, you can use it.

You can try any combination, you're not bound to any particular one.

Thank you so much Alaria. I have two more questions to be crystal clear before linking our application.
I (sponsor) am not my spouse's representative.

• "Can I link an application if I am unpaid representative of my spouse?

  Even though the guide says "no", members of this forum report the opposite. I don't know every case of every person, but a general answer would be "Yes, you can".

According to the information above:

1. Do I (sponsor) have to be my spouse's representative to link the application to my account?

2. After we link our application, will we be provided with both sides (Sponsor & PA) of the application on one GCKEY account? Right?

You don't need to be a spouse's representative to be able to link an application to sponsor's account.
You will have access only to PA's side of an application.

Hey! I’ve applied for immigration under the spousal category. My husband is a Canadian citizen. The issue I’ve been facing with linking my application is that I can’t move forward from the GCKey page. Once I sign in with that, I’m redirected to the home page for the cic.gc.ca where I’m asked to select between English or French and then back to the help page :/ what do I do, it’s been 4 months since I’ve submitted my application

Clear browser cache, try another browser. This issue happens from time to time, but if you've been having it for months, then just do the above.

Hi we’re doing a family conjugal sponsorship. What marital status do we have to put on the principal if the principal still previously married with one dependent on previous spouse. Principal and sponsor also had one dependent. TIA

If they're married, say married then.
Just be aware that conjugal sponsorship is the most tricky and rare one. To pass under this category you have to prove you can't be married due to some religious or other reasons (like same sex marriage is prohibited in your country, etc.) Usually it's easier to get a divorce and marry again than go through conjugal. Anyway, this is not a topic of this conversation...

Hi,

I think I’m in the right forum because I’m trying to link our application on gc key and was asking what to put on applicant’s marital status and how many dependent to declare. You mentioned on your previous post that common law usually they put single on marital status. We got SA and applicant already had his medical. TIA

Hi alaria, thanks for the invaluable information.
I have a question about cancelling a representative. I had a lawyer before to help me with my EE application. Last month the decision was made, and the case was closed. I am currently waiting for my PR card. I am wondering if it is necessary to cancel him as my representative and link the application profile to my account for the future reference.
Thanks

No need to do that. I don't even think you can link this application at this point as you probably can only link those that are in process right now.
