Hey! I wasn't able to link my OWP to the account, so I was wondering if you also got an email or something that said your OWP got approved. Cause I cant check it through the account. My application has the same timeline as yours.

I got 2 emails, one stated only that they sent me a message about the application and the other that they updated my application status, but neither specifically stated that it was approved

Hi,
Yes, we received an email from IRCC confirming the approval of the open work permit. It’ll contain the expiry date and also an eTA, which surprised us.
 
Thank you for all your replies!
I got work permit aproval email today! The best Christmas gift:)))
My application was recieved on May 12th.

And regarding my GC key account not working it happened because my SIN number has expired with my work permit. For anyone with the same problem you will have to wait until you get new temporary permit and can renew the SIN. Only then you can link your application.
Happy holidays to you all!:)

No, it does. It was giving me an error every time I logged in saying my identity has to be confirmed before I can perform any activities on my account. it was also throwing me out back to the main page every time I tried to check my application status. So I called CRA yesterday and that is was they told me. Said the account was deactivated due to SIN expiration.

that wouldnt make any sense though, otherwise I wouldnt have been able to link my work permit either, since my sin expired in march with my old work permit. i think you mean your service canada account, which you need the sin for, but not gckey.

Its really weird cause I log in to my service canada account using gc key. Few months back before my sin expired i would be able to log in with the same gc key through "check my application status" link and go to "what would you like to do today?" and choose "link my application to online account". Now I am not able to log in.
 
I wasn't able to link the OWP to my account, but surprisingly I received the work permit in the mail today!

So, what is going to be the next step? I guess they will ask for health check and biometric soon?

Still not able to link my PR application though
