Hello,

I am having trouble linking my application to my online account. I just received the first email from IRCC providing my Unique Client Identifier number and application number. They said I need to link my account within 7 calendar days. I have filled out all the information correctly in order to link my account and the system says that it cannot find my application. I tried again and again and finally it blocked me as I have tried 5 times within 24hours.

Does this have anything to do with being a Saturday (outside working hours of IRCC)?

Please help!
Thanks

Hello,

Try to not fill the CITY OF BIRTH. Instead press the space bar which will leave it unfilled. This worked for me and so as for other people. Let me know if it's worked.

Hello....I have a husband and one son. So, I have a total of 3 people on my application. This is the total number I wrote on my IMM0008 general application form.

Hello Thanks.
I did exactly this and still they cannot find my application. I wrote 3 members for my application because my spouse and I have 1 child.
I wonder what's going on?

Really!? That's so strange as they say that we should link our application within 7 calendar days. Did you try calling CİC? Were they helpful over the phone? Thanks...

I'm really sorry to hear. Hopefully soon you find your application. Good luck!
