I just linked my PR application, without having received AOR yet! So happy!
(I did not apply for a OWP as I already have a valid WP)
Options I used to get it linked:
Permanent Residence -> Family Class (Spouses) -> Family Name, Given Name and Date of Birth -> Passport
And the tricks (as someone posted in the October thread):
- put a space after your first name, a space after your last name, and a space after the passport number
- marital status: married (in my case at least, since we are married)
- number of family members: 2 (me + the sponsor)
