Hi. I applied for QSW and got my CSQ last year but only started federal stage just this week. Can I link my application now?

I seem to be having a problem.

Thank you so much. The above details were so helpful. The only difference is that I had to enter the City of Birth as per the submitted application. Also, the total number of persons is "2" me the sponsor, and the wife. I thought the number is "1". I didn't enter passport details. All other details are copy/paste from the email confirmation or the application.

How did you enter 1 space? when I tried doing this, it said I have to write down something and won't submit until I do so.

There is a web form you can use to contact them. Its kind of tricky to find it, but try to look around for it. I use it several times, and it works. They will reply in a couple of weeks. Just provide as much details as possible before and make your question very clear.

If you cannot find the web form, post back, and I will find it for you.

I this this is the web form:

Hello ..
My wife is sponsoring me from Canada, we applied twice .. first was in 2014 , but then due to some issues, we did not follow up .. but we started the application process again in Nov 2016, after filling all required application and supporting document, finally i received a pre-arrival services in January 2018, and one week later i received an email to provide them a police letter which i already provided them in May 2017, all document was sent through courier to Abu Dhabi Visa office.

i was trying to link my application to my GCKey account, but it does not seem to work, is it because that all document was provided through courier and not online ?? although through online tool it says in process since 2014 :( .

HEEEEELP ...

In the question "how many family members are included in the application" i wrote one bcs I came across this in the guide:

Note: Do not include the sponsor or family members that are already permanent residents or Canadian citizens. Individuals that will not be included in the undertaking should not be included in this total."


Hi everyone!

Received our AOR yesterday, tried 5 times yesterday but couldn't link the application and after reading this thread I tried a few more things and was able to link it, maybe it could be of help to someone:

Category: Permanent Residence

Sub-category: Family Class (Spouse)

Application details:
Application Number (received in the email)
Family Name (Family Name as given in the form> of the person being sponsored)

Place of birth:
City/town of birth (leave it blank)
Country/territory of birth (leave it as it is> default line)
Passport: Sponsored person's (P.A.) passport details

Other Application information:
Province: as stated in the original application IMM 0008
City/town/Village: as stated in the original application IMM 0008
Current marital status: Married
Number of family members: '2' which includes you and your sponsor

Hope this helps!

But Tarek what did you write in the IMM 0008 Form? Number of persons in the application 1 or 2? I just sent my application today and I remember writing 1.

I came across this: Note: Do not include the sponsor or family members that are already permanent residents or Canadian citizens. Individuals that will not be included in the undertaking should not be included in this total."

1 is the correct answer to the question on IMM0008 (if you have no dependents)

2 is the correct answer when linking the application (if you have no dependents).

IRCC is a lot of things, straight forward is not one of them. :D

THANKS!! Im so relieved you cant imagine! I just submitted the application yesterday and it was received by IRCC today noon!

Also a couple of very noobish questions:
1. i cant link the application till ive received AOR right?
2. I tried putting "N/A" in as many empty spaces as possible but I didnt put anything and kept the blanks for "Application ID" and "Client UCI" empty. Is that ok?
3. Also I cant link the application to my own GC-Key which i created 1.5 years ago when I was applying for PR FSW and which still works? Ill have to create a new GC-Key for my wife (the principal applicant)?

Ok i called IRCC

1. They said in IM 0008 '1' is the correct answer. I also asked them why during linking of accounts we have to write 2, they said "Ofcourse on the overall application they are assessing both the sponsor as well as the applicant but IM0008 is only about the "Applicants"'
2. Linking is only done after AOR.
3. We're not supposed to put N/A for Application ID and Client UCI and have to leave it blank since these will be applicable later.
4. Ofcourse for the spouse a new GC-Key has to be created (that was a silly question from me haha)

Hey everyone, if you're having trouble linking your application try going off the info from your most recent GCMS notes. If you have not ordered them i'd highly suggest that you do it. I was able to finally access our application by finding out from notes that:

-my husbands FAMILY name was logged in as his FULL name
-the CITY he was born in was actually CITY,TOWN

it's little things like these; where either the officer makes mistakes or it's a highly sensitive search engine.

Hope this helps.
Where can I get these GCMS notes?Please advise..Highly frustrated trying to get the application linked.3 months and about 20x5 attempts. Anything would be helpful.Thanks a ton....
