These are the steps I had to do at the time and worked for me, I hope they can be helpful for you as well.I received an email with one UCI (sponsor's UCI), I entered/selected all info as below,
PERMANENT RESIDENCE --- FAMILY SPONSOR (SPOUSE) --- ENTER UCI AND APPLICATION NUMBER --- PA's BIRTH PLACE AND COUNTRY --- NUM OF APPLICANTS = 2
But still not working, I also tried entering passport info (PA's) instead of birth place and country, still no luck and I exeeded given num of times to eneter info, so I have to await 24 hours to re-try everything
My biggest issue was that I was not counting myself (the sponsor) in the number of applicants. I was only putting 1 (the principal applicant) instead of 2 (sponsor and principal applicant).
Successfully linked application in Sponsor's GCKey account.
Steps used as follows:
- Permanent Resident
- Family Class (Spouses)
- Application Number and UCI
- used the UCI of the Principal Applicant and Application Number we received
- Place of Birth
- city and country exactly as it shows in the Principal Appicant's passport
- Province
- the one that was selected in one of the application forms
- Town
- the one that was selected in one of the application forms
- Current Marital Status
- self explanatory
- Number of family members
- the Sponsor and Principal Applicant count as 2
- if you have dependents as well then it's 2 (Sponsor and PA) + dependent count
