I just want to comment more for this instruction:
- For (8): It is true that if you DON'T FILL CITY AND COUNTRY OF BIRTH, it works! How amazing it is!!! (#%*)
- But for (12): It depends on your situation.

For example:
- "Apply for permanent resident as a spouse or common-law partner in Canada" means your sponsor is Canadian.
- "Spouse or common-law partner of a skilled worker" means your sponsor is actually a foreigner and he/she works here as a skilled worker.
---> It is very different from each other.

*** Don't forget to use Internet Explorer to fill the forms or link account to avoid errors from the system

That's it, you will be able to link your application to your online account! Wish you all best of luck!

Have a nice weekend!!!

From my experience, linking Work permit app. was quite hard because if we just made a small mistake then we cannot link it.

Here, I would suggest you to keep this step, don't work in another way:
1. (6) Then select Family name, given name and date of birth option. -> Don't use other options as from my experience, it doesn't work.
2. Make sure that: (8.) Next in applicant personal info panel fill Passport information only and DO NOT FILL CITY AND COUNTRY OF BIRTH.
3. Use Internet Explore as I guess it works the best for the system. This system needs security in very high level so as far as I know, the organization just use one of the internet browsers to make sure it works well. Here in this case, it is Internet Explorer. I think it explains why normally you cannot open PDF file on other browsers but Internet Explorer.

Are you talking about part 6 of Personal History? If so, please fill that you were studying instead of Unemployed. It is very different from each other, I suppose.
