You do not need to create a new IRCC account for your PR application. You can link your immigration application to your existing IRCC account even if it contains previous visit or study permits. Here’s how to proceed:
Linking Your Application to Your IRCC Account
1. Log in to your existing IRCC account.
2. Select the “Link application to this account” option.
3. Fill out the required details to locate your PR application (e.g., Application Number, UCI, and personal information).
4. Follow the prompts to complete the process.
If you cannot find your application while attempting to link it, ensure that all details (e.g., family size, passport information, and application type) are entered correctly.
Regarding the Medical Request
It’s not uncommon for applicants to receive a BIL with their AOR but no medical request. There are two possible reasons:
1. Medical Exam May Be Exempt: Depending on your circumstances (e.g., recent medical exam on file or medical exam completed during a previous application), IRCC may not request another medical exam.
2. Medical Request May Be Delayed: Some applicants receive their medical request after AOR as part of the regular processing workflow
Since you’ve already paid the medical fee for your family and submitted your application, IRCC will notify you if further medical action is required. Keep monitoring your account for updates.
