All,

I have having major issues in linking my application to the MyCIC account. I keep getting locked out.

I applied through Common Law, and an therefore choosing that(why am I supposed to pick Spouses whn that is not the case??)

I have chosen the UCI and Application Numbers to identify myself.

I enter my city of birth, and country
Where I want to live....I choose what I wrote in my Generic Application
People say that we are supposed to answer "2" for the question asking how many people are applying. I have been choosing 1 as this is what I put (correctly) in my Generic Application Form

I have tripled checked everything each time I apply now, but I am still doing it wrong.

What am I doing wrong??

Try hitting the space bar in place of city of birth

yes--put the city you want to live as you did on your app

enter 2 regardless if you selected 1 on your app. Most of the time they include the sponsor and applicant in the count..

Are you using the UCI that came in the AOR e-mail by chance? That would be the sponsor's UCI, not the PA's. I linked prior to getting AOR, so I linked using the family name option.

No I'm using my UCI.... which I received when I applied for an IEC Visa. That was the UCI, I got in the email.

I'm still concerned if I am selecting the correct Visa type. People here say select "Spousal", but there is a Common Law option ive been choosing and that is what I applied under.

Not sure about that part. It would make more sense to me to use Common Law, but to be quite honest, nothing about the linking thing feels logical. Several of us back around September/October were only able to link using 1 as the number of applicants, for instance. I was ready to toss my computer off my balcony when I finally figured it out.

Many many people have luck with that set of instructions that floats around. My husband and I both had MyCIC accounts we played with so we had up to 10 tries a day instead of 5. Ultimately that set of instructions wasn't too useful to us, but I've seen it work for a lot of people so it's hard to discount entirely.

You could try using spouse instead. Worth a shot at least, especially if nothing else has been working.

Hi guys!!! I need your help as well please. I cannot link my application as it says no application found after putting in all the information. I am sponsoring my busband from back home. For the city of birth, did you say put two spaces. Does it mean leave it blank??? Am I using my husband info to search for the application??? Please help and thank you so much.

A single space would be enough at the city of birth section and if you use the "incognito" or "private" option in your browser it helps since it does store the information in the cache or cookies of of your webpage.

If you have a representative, like a lawyer or immigration consultant then you can not link your application. I kept trying for months and then finally called CIC and told me that.

Good news that it worked, but you should now ask for a correction on your file for your date of birth.

Hi,
I'm also not able to link my application to my account, it's possible to have the number you used to call CIC? I need to upload some documents to support my application. Thanks
