Hey wise and experienced immigration folks,

I have a couple random questions I'm hoping someone can help me with.

I was (finally!!!) able to link my PR application to my account. I did it using the application number provided to my spouse in an e-mail from IRCC and my passport info. He received the AOR e-mail on August 9th, so it took 2 weeks of attempting daily. When I went into the application details, it shows that the UCI is different than the one he received in the e-mail. Is this normal? Because he's a "different" unique client than I?
So when I try to link my OWP (submitted with the PR application), I'm unable to use the same application number as the one for the PR application. Does anyone know what the best option is for linking the OWP? Is it on a different linking timeline than the PR app?
Most of the time estimates I've seen regarding the OWP say 3-4 months--is that from the date the application is received?

Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

For linking OWP please use UCI number and last name in caps. You can refer to the below link for tips.

It usually takes 2.5 months from AOR date.

Hi,
I need to know that my application was submitted 25 sept 2017 and we have passed medical and submitted additional docs by Nov 2017, but since then the status says background check will start.
We received pre arrival email on 14 aug 2018, can anyone predict what can be expected next?

It doesn't make a difference to the app. Peo
Agree, but my wife had no passport, we found out that a PCC is required. AND PCC cannot be given there unless 1 has a Passport. So she made a new Passport with my last name on it.
