I received AOR on November 25, I linked my PR application without problems, but, I can't link my OWP application.
I followed the steps from this forum.
Can someone help me?
I'm in the same boat. That OWP app just will not link.

Quick update:
As many, after submitting SA and PCC, my CIC account still shows "Your Action is Required". After reading some posts I decided to message CIC as well and explaining them my situation. Here is their answer:

"Thank you for contacting Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
The situation that you have described is the result of an ongoing technical problem. We are currently looking into it and will resolve it as soon as possible.
We verified the information on file and are pleased to confirm that everything appears to be in order with your application.
Rest assured that you will be informed if additional information is needed.
Thank you again for bringing this matter to our attention and sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused."

Some people thought that by doing so it could accelerate the start of their background check, I can't comment on that as for me nothing changed and the status of my application still shows "Your Action is required"

As always, good luck to everyone!
*** Yes thank you for sharing your correspondence!! I'm having the same problem and was wondering if maybe it was just that CIC hadn't "received" the submitted documents yet. But that is good to hear, hopefully it doesn't cause any more delays in the processing

There is no such thing as AOR for OWP:)
Oh!!! Well that's kind of a relief, I hadn't heard anything from CIC that it was "received", I only know it made it to Vegreville office... but I thought they did the same process as with the sponsorship application and send AOR once they start processing it. I can't seem to link my OWP to my account though, does this mean they are not processing it yet?

Hello forum friends!!!! Just wondering if everyone who is on the spreadsheet could update their information. AOR’s, OWP, Medicals, and all that stuff.

Thank you all so incredibly much
If it weren’t for this thread I personally would have lost my mind.

My application was returned for insufficient fees as well. It took 7 weeks after they received it back before I could link online.
Could you tell me how you linked it? I've tried everything but can't link it up yet... I went through the Temporary Residence category then 'Work permit and extension' and used my UCI and Family Name one time and another tried my Family Name and birth date, chose 'Applied for permanent residence as spouse in Canada' and also tried 'Temporary Resident permit holders'... nothing is working... what would be the reason for this??

Hello all!
Just wanted to update that we received AOR on Tuesday (Dec. 5th).
Our application was received October 11th, my husband (the PA) got an email with UCI and App. no. on Dec. 5th.
We managed to link it after 3 tries, what seemed to do it was putting 2 instead of 1 in the number of people in application (including PA).
Question - we submitted an OWP application as well - do we need to link that separately? I assume its a different application no.?

Thanks!

It usually takes a bit longer with OWP. Maybe wait a couple more days...and then keep trying.
