For the same question, what phone number do I provide for past 3 years of employment history? My supervisor's or my company's help desk? I cant add extension for my supervisor's number in that block? Should I provide his cell number instead?

So I think I know the answer to this but just in case someone out there has found a loop hole.... I do not have three years of Canadian tax returns, I moved here in May 2018. Is there ANY other option? My parents are older and will be restricted by age in health in the next few years so waiting another three years with the uncertainty of actually getting an invitation to apply is really not a good option....
Does anyone know of another way?
Feeling really annoyed if we cannot apply and I have prevented someone else from applying. I truly thought other sources of income (as assessed for our PR application) were suitable - how can they be suitable for that and not this? Yes, I know earnings in another country do not mean you will be successful in Canada but it is the acceptable bar in the PR application....anyway hoping someone has some ideas out there.....

Maybe the company's main line?

Hi everyone.
My PGP application was received on May 9. I can see my application through ECAS shown as "application received" but I was not able to link my application to my cic account.
Has anyone been able to link their application?
Also, Has anyone received AOR? How about biometrics letter? I have paid for biometrics but did not receive any letter for it...

Thanks!
Hey, as per Your parents and grandparents can link their application to their online account:
When we start processing your family members’ application, we’ll send them a letter with their application number.

After they get this letter, the principal applicant can link their application to their online account. This way, they can communicate with us quickly and securely and get updates and messages about their application online.
I believe you need to wait till the principal applicant receives the application number.

yea, will do that. Also, can you provide me the source for family size answer you provided me earlier?? I am single and sponsoring my mom and dad.

Its just that when filling interest to sponser form I wrote down 3 in family unit and the answer was 1 (I shouldn't have done this and now i have to write an explanation letter for it). Application guide doesnt tell more detail for Q14 in this form.

Your family size is 3 - assuming ur parents dont have dependents and u dont have kids or previous undertakings :)
