Thanks for sharing.After number 3, you can see FN, right? If so, your application status is completed ( status 10 instead of 7 ( at the background only), it will not reflected on portal). Hopefully I can get ghost email soon..

@Krisv I am trying to link my parents' application in GCKey but unable to do so...How do you arrive at the number of people (e.g. right now we are 3 people in Canada - my spouse, son and I. And I am sponsoring my mum and dad. Does it mean the # of people = 5 or is it only adults (4) or is it only my parents (2)...)? Please help!

My case is 4 i.e. sponsor + co-sponsor + primary applicant + dependents, exclude all children under 18 (think so)

I received the ghost email over a month ago and I'm still unable to link the GC key. Is it possible that I'd miss any important update or requests such as the medical exam request if I can't link my account to the GC key? Would they still send the request by email if my GC key is not linked?

Did you have both last name and first name of the applicant

Did you have both last name and first name of the applicant

For folks that have been able to do the GC Link, Please when you try the F12 method, what does it show you, does the UCI, full name, DOB come with a value or 'Null'. Maybe that would help us know when it is good to go for linking. Thanks

What do you see on F12 method, first name, last name,status id 7 or 10?

 

[Sruraja]

you got two ghost updates?

what is a ghost email?

 

[Elainelaine]

assume you didn’t get ghost email , so it is almost zero chance to link GC key when application status is submitted. Have you got any response after you filled webform? I applied couple weeks earlier than you, case worker didn’t check my application after couple months assigned. For our 2021 September application, lot of people applied after us have already got sponsorship approved, I will wait for few more weeks and raise a webform to ask, maybe call them too. contact them in both ways.

the call center doesn't really work (i tried), it almost no chance to speak a real agent~i also tried to fill up the webform and ask but still nothing.
