    They should also be able to look up your case by the receipt number, if you have it. (the receipt from paying the application processing fees)

    That's normal. It just indicates that there was a file uploaded. If it didn't upload properly, it would have said "Replacement Needed".

    You know how they only give you 5 tries per day to try to link it, and on the 5th try, it locks you out for 24 hours? Well I saw someone on another thread who created several different GCKey accounts so that they could maximize their attempts at linking it. Then once they finally linked it, they...

    also be sure to enter the info exactly as you entered it on your application. For example, if you put a comma and a space in between the city name and country name under "birthplace", or if there's a space in between some of the numbers on the passport #, then enter it the same exact way as you...

    I saw a recent post on this forum that stated that AOR1 is currently taking between 6 to 8 weeks, so you're still within the timeline.

    Oh, I read that you were looking at the USA site and I thought you needed police certs from USA, so disregard that first part. Yes, you will be fine, as long as you request the police certificate within the 30-day timeline. If your results will take longer than the 30 days, then you can send...

    read this link for obtaining police cert from the US: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/medical-police/police-certificates/how/united-states.html You can choose the third party option (option 2 on the link) and it's much, much faster, especially if...

    Always use the most recent version of the form. I used the June 2017 form, but we didn't submit it until they specifically requested it along with police certificate. Did you mean that you originally submitted Sched A with your whole application, when you first applied? It's possible they are...

    No, don't worry, the Use of Representative Form is optional. You can use the form if you, as the sponsor, want to be considered as the representative, which means that all correspondence for the principal applicant would be handled through you instead of your spouse. I didn't use one, and my...

    Yes but only if you use the information of the Principal Applicant, set it up in their name. Then after you set up a GCKey account and you enter information to link the app, you have to use the PA's info (name, birth date, passport number, etc).

    Congrats! Our VO is Mississauga, too. (U.S. passport). Do they request the actual passport, or a photocopy? I'm curious because my husband needs his passport for an upcoming trip and we're hoping it's not around the same time that the VO requests it.

    Question about Medical Exam: Is the 30-day deadline just the required time period to undergo the exam, even if it takes the physician an extra week or two beyond that to submit the form to Canada immigration? Or is the 30-day deadline meant for overall completion of the exam including the...

    My husband's (Principle Applicant) GCkey said the same thing for a little while and then the status under Background Check changed from "Not applicable" to "Your application is in progress. We will send you a message when we start your background check." I was confused too so I looked it up on...
