I am sponsoring my wife and I am also her representative. I received AOR on 43rd day after our application was received by IRCC. In the AOR email there is no mention of linking application to an online account. After a bit research on IRCC website found out that our application cannot be linked to an online account because I am not an authorised paid represantave. She can't create an online account because she is using a representative and I can't create an online account because I am not a paid authorised representative.
Any suggestions
Ummm something sounds wrong there. How are they able to determine just by creating an online account or not being able to.. everyone should be able to create an account, paid representative or not!
Did you link the application using APPLICANT's info?
The reason I ask is I (sponsor) am not the representative but I was still able to link the application to my account that I had newly created with my name.
However when additional docs needed to be submitted online by applicant, the application was again linked a newly created applicant's account (removing the sponsor's initial linking)
