Hi everyone,
We just submitted our application yesterday and is waiting for the first response from IRCC. I also registered myself as my wife's unpaid representative, and the 5289 guide says that "Unpaid representatives cannot use online accounts. If you have an unpaid representative, you should remind them to regularly monitor their e-mail and mail to ensure correspondence is received.". So I'm guessing that I cannot link the application to my own IRCC account? The only way of communication between them now is through email only?

Thanks a lot everyone!

You should je able to link and so should the sponsor, but it may not be possible before the AOR (ie 30-90 days, may be longer now).

I link the application to my account and I am unpaid representative and sponsor.
So it is possible to link.
Hi, I am same as you, can I know if you have received all the email in your account after linking it, have the applicant received any email?

How did you link the application to your IRCC account? When I logged in, there was no option for me to link. I remembered seeing an option to link when I signed in weeks ago, but now there’s no option to link!

There was just an underlined sentence that said link an application to your account that I clicked on it, you can see it on your home page bellow the part '' view the applications you submitted''
