JUNE 2019 *OUTLAND* SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP

[em.canada]

Had a hard time with ours too but after following this exact method, I was able to link ours within one try.
How to link account to GCKey
(1) Go to this below listed link
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/account.html
(2) Click on continue to Gckey
(3) If You've already account created, login with your Username and Password otherwise Click on Sign up to go on next page and create your username, password and security questions.
(4) After creating my CIC account, click link application to this account.
(5) Then select category and subcategory that you applied for.
(6) Then select Application Number and Family name
(7) Fill your family name(surname), given name and date of birth as per Passport or Application form. PUT YOUR FAMILY NAME IS THIS FORMAT - Smith (ensuring the first letter is capitalized). Then fill in Application number.
(8.) Next in applicant personal info panel fill CITY AND COUNTRY OF BIRTH, DO NOT FILL IN ANY PASSPORT INFORMATION. AGAIN WRITE ON THE SAME FORMAT (CAPITALIZED FIRST LETTER OF YOUR CITY). Note that if in your application, you included the word "City", include it on here too.
(9) Select Province and town you intend to live in (as on your IMM0008) and select current marital Status.
(10) Finally select 2 as the number of family members.
(11) Once you fill all information, Click on Search for my application
(12) Your application will be found and can be linked.
(13) You can get real time updates on your paper application online.

Absolutely no luck with this process. Did you create an account using the email address you put in the application?

Does anyone know if it is possible to speak to an agent if you are currently outside Canada?

How long does it take after file transfer to mississauga. What is the next step? Can someone please help me in this....Curious to know

Hello,
I received AOR for my sponsorship application. My husband is my unpaid representative. So, as per the guidelines, we should not attempt to link the application to online account.
My question is, then should I rely only the ECAS tool or sponsor's email to check the updates?
please help!

Is your file transferred to Mississauga already? Please update the tracker if it is. Also can you please let me know where you saw this update and if you were notified of this?

Our app was too. Received an update about it through sponsor's email. Just checked my eCAS & GCkey, but it doesn't indicate anything on there.

Great. Thanks for the update! I'll keep an eye on my email.

Does anyone know how do we tell if the background check has started? Where to look for it?

You know what, I'm actually curious about this as well. Cause I've seen other people's GCkey's screenshot, and at the background check section, there would be a date indicated on it.. But it seems like normally, it's not until after the app has been transferred.. but for some reason, there's lots on the sheet already that's apparently already done with their BG check...

That's true, for some i see a day of the very next day after AOR as to when the BGC starts. This sounds absurd. But again, comparing the previous months, i see that there's no consistency as to when this should happen.

In the tracker, i see that a lot of people have mentioned that their background checks have started. How did they figure this out? Is there something on ECAS or GCKEY that says background check in process. Can someone please suggest?

On the application details it shows like this -

• We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information.

just not sure if we will receive an official email advising background check is in process

I don't think this alone qualifies as background check unless there's a date assigned to it. I may be wrong but that's what i've read in this forum so far. I'd like some comments on it.
