It can take a few days to several weeks after receiving your AOR for your application to be accessible for linking to your GCKey account. This depends on when IRCC updates your application in their system. If you’re receiving the message “No applications found,” it’s likely because your application hasn’t been uploaded completely to IRCC’s online system yet
Here’s a step-by-step guide to linking your PNP PR application to your GCKey account:
Step-by-Step Guide to Link PNP PR Application to GCKey:
1. Log in to GCKey:
• Visit the
GCKey login page.
• Enter your credentials or create an account if you don’t already have one.
2. Go to “Link Application to This Account”:
• After logging in, click on “Add/Link your application to your account” under the “What would you like to do today?” section.
3. Select Application Type:
• Choose “Permanent Residence” from the drop-down menu.
4. Select the Category:
• For PNP PR applications, select “Provincial Nominee Program (Non-Express Entry)” unless your application was through Express Entry.
5. Enter Your Application Details
• You will need the following information
• Application Number/Personal Reference Number: Found on your AOR (e.g., EP######## or X000#######).
• Surname/Last Name: Enter exactly as it appears on your application.
• Date of Birth: Enter in the format YYYY-MM-DD.
• Place of Birth: Enter your city/town as per your application.
6. Fill Additional Fields:
• Choose one of the following to narrow down the search:
• Passport Information: Include your passport number, issue date, and expiry date.
• UCI (Unique Client Identifier): Found on your previous correspondence with IRCC, e.g., a study or work permit.
• Other Details: Such as your province of nomination and nomination certificate number.
7. Search for Your Application:
• After entering all details, click “Search for my application”.
• If the application is found, it will show on the screen. Select it and confirm linking.
8. Wait if Not Found:
• If your application isn’t found, wait for a few more days and try again. Ensure the details you enter exactly match what you provided in your application.
Additional Tips:
• Ensure there are no typos in the information entered.
• Try using different combinations of information (e.g., try UCI with passport information if other fields don’t work).
• Avoid attempting to link multiple times in one day, as it may lock you out temporarily.
• If unsuccessful after multiple tries over a few weeks, contact IRCC via the web form or call the client support center.
