Hi.

I am trying to help link a family sponsorship application but unable to do so, wondering what am I missing?

Tried with different combos like UCI and Family name; First, last and DOB; tried both passport and place of birth, entering 2 in number of applicants.

Have tried all the avenues but unable to connect the application. Have been trying for a month now.

Please advise if there is anything that I could be missing here?

Hi there, I don't think this an issue but just a delay in their processing or updating. Before it is actually updated I think they need be sure its a complete file sent to VO and has been opened for review. Personally mine took me 9 months before I was able to finally link it and this was even after I had sent a webform asking why I could not since I already had the UCI and APP No. In short, I think they just haven't opened the file yet or updated it their side so best is just to notify them via a webform. I don't know how long it has been for you but if 9 months is too long then you are fine then if not then best contact them. You definitely haven't done anything wrong I had been trying to link it for months until I gathered courage to send a webform and I could link it in a week even without them saying it was possible I just kept trying. But I was able to link it only after I had sent a webform.

Application is perhaps in final stages. Just was curious as to why it is not working. System doesn’t like the application number for whatever odd reason :(

I will just repeat this message here just in case it helps someone else struggling to connect their application: try thinking where IRCC could have made a mistake inputting your data.
I got in touch with them via webform giving them all the data combinations my husband and I had tried over the month, and they got back to me 10 days later saying that I was inputting my birth place incorrectly (which, as you can imagine, is hardly possible). But at least I knew where to focus my efforts.
Today, just for the fun of it, I tried putting the name of my country of birth into the "place of birth" and then repeating the same under "country of birth". As in "UK, UK".
That did it.
