Linking the application

Hi Rossei - I'm having a hard time to link the application. I'm using my information when it asks for the UCI, since my mother doesn't have one yet. The only thing we have is the Application number and all the information used in her application. I called the CIC and the instructions they gave me didn't work as well.

Questions:

1) Is this OK if I don't link the application or should/ must I link the application?

2) Which information should I used to link the application?
- I've created a GCKey for her: is this correct or should I create one for me to link the application?
- Should I use my last name and application number or hers?

As a comment, I noticed that some applications here in the forum that are being processed are being sent to Ottawa. Is this because the parents are already in Canada?

Thank you very much for all your help!

Rossei, i believe this is indireclty linking to the income table right? to ensure the person's family size is increasing whether sponsor or PR applicant...
I don't think so.

PPR is issued when a final decision has been made/ application is approved. CIC checks income during the first stage (Sponsorship Eligibility). When the file is forwarded to LVO for 2nd stage (PR Processing), they don't bother much about meeting income requirements unless you notify them of family size increase.

In the PPR correspondence, they ask for this info mainly because they want to make sure whom they will be giving PR Visa finally. It's unlikely they would re-visit income requirements after an application has been approved.

It's okay. But I would recommend you to keep trying to link the app.

2) Which information should I used to link the application?
- I've created a GCKey for her: is this correct or should I create one for me to link the application?
Both ways work. But having a separate GCKey for your mom is perhaps a better choice.
- Should I use my last name and application number or hers?
You need to use your mom's info only when you're trying to find an app under her account.

As a comment, I noticed that some applications here in the forum that are being processed are being sent to Ottawa. Is this because the parents are already in Canada?
Not the case. There isn't any definite reason why some files are being processed by Ottawa.


You may want to read my post re: how to link PGP app to MyCIC. The same info is also shared in all my PGP Timeline spreadsheets (links are in my signature).

I added you in our 2016 PGP Timeline Spreadsheet. I would appreciate if you visit the SS and fill out the missing info on 'NEW ENTRY' sheet. You can update it anytime you want. I move the updated info from NEW ENTRY to TIMELINE sheet later for everyone.

Hi Noui,

I`m from Quebec too. Have you received PCC, Medical and other documents and PRF requests together with CSQ request? In the same letter? I got only CSQ request and working on it now. Did I miss PCC, Medical and other documents and PRF request?? Confused...

Yes, I've already transferred those data into Timeline.

BTW, how come your CC was charged later (21-Jul) than you were approved as a sponsor? Shouldn't it be 21-Jan-2016?
