Hi, apologies I am probably the last guy trying to link my account to secure IRCC, tried all the solutions provided in this thread but it is not working. Could someone please guide how to link the account for checking the updates.

I tried everything and nothing worked, then one day I decided to call IRCC and spent 2 hours in line waiting. They solved the issue. It was simply that the number of applicants I was entering was wrong. At that point in the link application menu, I was always entering 2 applicants because it was for my mom and dad, however the number they told me over the phone was 4. The logic was that there were my 2 parents and then myself and my co-signer. It's nonsense since I also have kids as dependents, but that was the issue. so I recommend you try different numbers of applicants.

This is what other members here found out.
Sponsor + co-signer + PA + dependents being sponsored.
And do not count dependents of sponsor.

Hi. I have finally received passport request for my mother's PGP application. I applied last year in 2023. That said, I am in a dilemma as since her application submission, her country of residence has changed. What should I do now:
1) Reply back to the IRCC email with change of address request? I wonder how long will it take for IRCC to reissue the passport submission letter after this change)
2) Bring her in to Canada (she has visit visa) and submit her passport here in Ottawa? I can do that easily as she is in USA but my concern is that she is going through some medical treatment so I can't have her stay here for 3 months or so waiting for her passport to be returned back.

Any suggestions?

I have just received passport submission request for my mother. In her case it took 1 month after her medical was completed. Hopefully you will get it too in the first week of December,
Besides, could you please tell me the steps you took to transfer her case to Mississauga office? Where was it originally? I am looking to transfer my mother's case from Pakistan to USA as she has recently moved there. Thanks.
