Hi! For the last name and place of birth - is this the info of the sponsor or the applicant (sponsored spouse)?

Thanks!
Use the PA (Primary applicant)'s info. So, the person applying for PR.

I tried your suggestion, still no luck for me. I badly want to see the progress on my application. I really don't know what's wrong on linking the app.

Sooooo frustrating, I sympathise with you. I even called them after what seemed like a million attempts and that was no help either. If you have not maxxed your attempts for the day, maybe try the UCI number instead of application number. Sorry for your troubles. The kicker for me was the "2" people on the application. Best of luck!

I am experiencing the same thing, been trying since last month and still no luck. I tried every possible combination, I even tried mixing both sponsor and PA information and still no luck. I really don't know what's wrong and what really went wrong but fed up! Maybe all I can do for now is to wait for eCAS update! Good luck to all us... :D :D :D

Hey guys, the following instructions, although weird, have been the most successful for linking to myCIC for our September group. They were provided by someone other than me, but they worked for me...

"Hello fellow Sep applicants, I'm brand new to this forum and I'm a Sep applicant as well, I will be posting my timelines in the spreadsheet soon but I want to try help those who are struggling to link their application to CIC, try the below steps as I saw a lot of people succeeding using this method

The combination of information that I used to find the application (finally) was:

1. Logged in with GC Key account.
2. Permanent Residence > Family Class (Spouses)
2. Application Number and Family Name - Copy/pasted application number from email (including the F) and entered PA's last name.
3. City of Birth - I entered 1 space (hit spacebar once)
4. Country of Birth - Selected PA's country of birth
5. Passport Info - Did not enter any passport info
6. Other Application Info - Filled out the other application info as per our application and put '2' as the number of members in the application. I am sponsoring my wife, no dependents.

It popped up saying 1 application was found. Hope this helps someone trying to link their account.

Give this a go, hope it helps!!"

Also, for your 5 tries I would stick to everything above but the number that may need to be changed is number of family members involved in application. I would start with 2, but if you have any children for either sponsor or PA (whether they are going to immigrate or not) you could try adding them to the number 2 (although in our group this number was the most inaccurate in the system).

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! :D :D :D It actually worked for me! Guys, I finally linked my account to myCIC, just follow the instructions carefully and I think what really works is copying the APPLICATION NUMBER from the email sent to you and paste it on the space provided. I entered space by clicking space bar on the the city of birth... and don't forget to put 2 for numbers of applicants.

Now, I can see my Medical status PASSED, been thinking a lot of it since I've been scheduled and instructed to see a cardiologist for my blood pressure is a bit high than normal... come on... so relieved... Again, thank you for sharing this instructions... ;D ;D ;D Good luck to all of us and I can see we will all make it to the TOP!:)

It should not effect your work permit as per my understanding.

you do not need to travel to your home country.
Hi Shmak2017,

Can you please clarify a bit. Do you mean if my application approved, I don't have to travel to my home country for pr visa?
I can get the pr card in Canada? You know anyone in such circumstance?
Thanks a lot for your help.

Hey thank you sweethunkUSman, finally after many tries i have linked my wife's application with MYCiC. Appreciate your help.

But guys this is my status right now in MyCIC:

Application/profile status - Open
Review of eligibility - Review in Progress (So This means they are still deciding if all the documents are in proper?)
Review of medical results - Review in Progress (Although we submitted the medical with the app)
Review of submitted documents -
Scheduling an interview - Not Started
A background check is needed - Not Started
Final decision - Not Started.

--------------------------------------

Any clue why is still Review in Progress or that is normal?? That means they are still looking at the documents?

Your answers are appreciated.

Probably officers are working differently per applicants. I am hoping we are able to get an update after a month from the date we received our AOR2. I just submitted the additional documents requested from my AOR2. Good luck to all of us. Let us all claim it! :D :D :D
