In my case AOR was received 10 days back and Sponsor email 3 days back. Still not able to link to IRCC account. Is there any other method for receiving medicals? they won't send an email to the applicant?
linking is not mandatory. if you haven't linked yet, requests will be sent by email or mail as indicated in your IMM0008, ie, they will continue to send you email for requests.
if down the road, you can link the application, you will ONLY receive requests in myIRCC account. and if the request is for documents, a place holder will open up for you to upload.

That's a useful link about connecting to GCKEY. But it didn't work in my case. Tried with application number + Last name. We have one primary applicant, one sponsor, one co-sponsor, there are 5 other dependants mentioned in IMM0008, but they are not applying..so tried 7,8,2,3,4 as a number of dependants and nothing worked

But the UCI provided in AOR letter is for the sponsor as per the link. I don't have UCI for the primary applicant

I also received the same request and submitted Form IMM0149e in GCkey account before the due date. The application status, under "Review of additional documents" shows "The additional documents you provided have been uploaded." Yours is uploaded or received, kindly reply
Same with me. In the review of addition documents is shows the additional documents you provided have been uploaded. Also the current status is submitted.

What is your status using F12 trick? Mine is changed from 10 to 7 now and can't see the last date that the file has been updated.

Hope everyone is doing well. I submitted the file for my mom through IRCC portal on Dec 1, 2021. CIC requested some additional documents which we submitted on April 27, 2022 and status on IRCC portal is still showing as "Returned". We only got assigned temporary file number which starts with XF. Wondering if there is anything to do from my end? For eg: F12 trick?
What you use the f12 trick what status do you see?

I submitted the application on 27th Nov and no response after that: Ghost email, AOR.. nothing.

Lately, the processing time was set to 34 months (almost 3 years), 2.4m backlogs and now for many, the status getting updated to "SUBMITTED" (7) from status 10. To my mind, it seems like they are putting ice on the PGP applications (maybe for the next year or so). PCC and Medical are only valid for a year.. best to ask applicants to submit these after a year when they actually have time to process our applications.

If you are in a rush, they are encouraging us to apply for super visa.. what better/painless option than to help the economy recover after covid and the current inflation.
30k applicants x $200 (super visa fees) = $6M (lump sum) + insurance.

Again, this is just a guess, and hope it's not true. :confused:

same with me. uploaded docs in gckey in May. One day after submission the status changed to "The additional documents you provided have been uploaded." And it stays that way ever since. It's been almost a month now.
Maybe the "received" status is only for ppl who sent docs over other channel, like email or webform. Just my guess.
The "Details" column where I uploaded the Documents read as "Replacement Provided" along with the Uploaded filename. I guess when they start reviewing the docs, it changes to "Replacement Received" and under Details of Application status->Review of additional documents-""Review start Date & We are reviewing the additional docs you provided" will appear.

Was the biometrics only for principal applicant as well? Or the dependant got biometrics letter as well?

I am asking as the my brother is sponsoring our parents and only the principal applicant got biometrics letter but the dependant on the application did not.
Actually all requests so far have been made to both except PCC request.
