my first email is exact with your friend's one. Did you check all the info you entered was correct? as when they email you the application number, you should be able to link it. For the application status tracker, it will need 1 or 2 days for data to be entered, then you will be able to create an account to track your application
OMG I looked for the problem !!!
I just got an email from IRCC that my husband is the main applicant and I'm tied up as a family and my information was missing... wtf
That's why we couldn't link with account and get 2 emails like you&my friend.
If I upload additional documents about my information, I think I can get one more email.
Anyway, Thank you so much for your help!!!
