I received an email with one UCI (sponsor's UCI), I entered/selected all info as below,

PERMANENT RESIDENCE --- FAMILY SPONSOR (SPOUSE) --- ENTER UCI AND APPLICATION NUMBER --- PA's BIRTH PLACE AND COUNTRY --- NUM OF APPLICANTS = 2

But still not working, I also tried entering passport info (PA's) instead of birth place and country, still no luck and I exeeded given num of times to eneter info, so I have to await 24 hours to re-try everything :(
These are the steps I had to do at the time and worked for me, I hope they can be helpful for you as well.

My biggest issue was that I was not counting myself (the sponsor) in the number of applicants. I was only putting 1 (the principal applicant) instead of 2 (sponsor and principal applicant).

Successfully linked application in Sponsor's GCKey account.
Steps used as follows:

  • Permanent Resident
  • Family Class (Spouses)
  • Application Number and UCI
    • used the UCI of the Principal Applicant and Application Number we received
  • Place of Birth
    • city and country exactly as it shows in the Principal Appicant's passport
  • Province
    • the one that was selected in one of the application forms
  • Town
    • the one that was selected in one of the application forms
  • Current Marital Status
    • self explanatory
  • Number of family members
    • the Sponsor and Principal Applicant count as 2
    • if you have dependents as well then it's 2 (Sponsor and PA) + dependent count

Inland Spousal Sponsorship

AOR: Aug 30 2022

Hi Experienced and Esteemed members,

I need an URGENT help on the current situation I am in.I am trying to look for options to apply for PRTD application for my husband as we had to make an immediate travel outside Canada. Currently,he does not have a PR Card as the application was approved recently. The PR Portal does not show an option to apply for PRTD(as the application there is not updated and "in review with IRCC). Is there a way I can appluy for PRTD alternatively?

I tried to look for options on the official page but I could not find the details of how to apply for paper application/in person. Any leads will be really helpful. Please looking forward for guidance here on what to do as we have our flights booked end of this month for return.

He cannot apply for a PRTD until he is a PR. "Approved" is not the same as already being a PR. You need to clarify this point before you can do anything. Suggest calling IRCC.

Yes, he is a PR now(Have received ECOPR, PR card is pending)
By far his easiest option is to travel through USA on way back and cross at land border - if he has access to USA (visa or visa waiver).

If not, sorry, don't know why he can't access portal. Perhaps only way is to contact IRCC.

Hello,

I have a question regarding the photos for proof of relationship in the common-law application. How did you submit them? I have a bunch and I am unsure what the best way to present them is.

I really appreciate any help you can provide.

Almost certain they will return. But don't wait for them to return as it may take few months for them to check your files. I would call IRCC call center and ask them to return your package right away.
Unfortunately it was actually returned and I had to reapply for it, too bad...
