Hi..FYI
Submitted Dec 6 2023
Addl Doc Submitted 17 Mar
AOR 04 Apr
5768e re-sent again 06 Apr
GCkey Linked 08 Apr
I had a challenge since i dont have family name and while linking this field is mandatory. So waited till i received file no without "X"
While linking need to take care of every field and fill in as in application forms.like If you have initialsed a city name, do it exactly or if word is fully capitalised fill in exactly for e.g. Toronto or TORONTO...It should match exactly. I learnt in family size field need to incl sponsor kids also else it will not link even if all other info is perfectly correct. Few people on this forum had stated sponsor kids are not counted. But my application linked only after incl
Thanks.....Hope this is useful

Hi.
I applied through the agent and got the AOR and biometric completed.
He is unable to link the application. Can i give it a try and link myself or he is only one who can link it?

Thanks!

For police clearance what should be the validity period? I mean when we got the invite form IRCC last year (Oct), we quickly applied for a police clearance for may parents but it turns out it was not required during the application process in the beginning. Now that IRCC officially requested the copy of a police clearance ours is 6 months old, although it is still valid for one year. Do we need to get a new one or we can submit the 6 month old clearance we have.

Hi,
I received biometrics on March 15th and a generic document saying that medical instructions will be sent separately but I haven’t received anything yet. Unable to connect GCKey or ECAS. Please advise what to do as CIC is not answering phones. Thanks

my acquaintance submitted an application for PGP on November 10, 2023 but hasn't received an AOR yet despite request for additional documents in January 2024. Any one else in the same boat? Any idea on the timelines for this stream?
I am, still waiting for AOR. Timeline of your acquaintance and mine is same.

Hi
My parents are in india right now and they have stayed with me over 6 months couple of times.
Do I need to submit PCC from Canada as well ( as per PCC request) and if so I read it involves third party for getting the fingerprints .
Wondering if anyone did that what's the procedure and how much time it will take?
Thanks!
