GCKey login does seem to require including sponsor (ie two family members for a spouse being sponsored, no kids). This is only for purposes of linking the profile,though.
When you fill out the forms and say how many people are part of the sponsorship, and there are no children, you write 1.

True for the forms. But to link in gckey - the question at hand - the system strangely requires a different answer, that is, one includes the sponsor in the count.

Yeah that did the trick, using 2 people despite not having kids or bringing family members.
I was finally able to link it.

And yeah it says approved.
I did not spend a lot of time in this forum. but I really appreciate all the replies.

Hi there. So I recieved my PPR at the end of November, the passport was sent to Mexico, and I been waiting for the next step.
I just got this notice:

Does anyone know what it means the Canada Visa office center in CVO,

I am just not sure what CVO means.
Hello! I've sent my passports to Mexico, and my current vfs tracker is stuck in "transit from VAC Mexico to IRCC office Mexico City" since Dec-22 with no change at all. ¿Would you please share how long it took to update to show that it was received at Canada embassy? Thanks and good luck.

Different country but it took longer than I'd expected - and when they did update / get the notification the visas were printed the same day, possibly they had already been printed. Given holidays I wouldn't worry.

What is your current VFS tracker status?

I can't speak for all offices and experiences, but it seems that two-three weeks is not abnormally long; add in holidays, shouldn't be a reason to worry.

Thanks for your reply! Actually, yesterday JAN-11, VFS tracker changed to "... has been received and is under process at the IRCC office ..."

I thougth that it would change to something like "received at IRCC office" as soon as it physically reached its destination.
