Can anyone help me on the same.. Can we only link the application when its received or before.. I don't know when my application/status updated as its been through the agent. The date I only have is the one when the copr document is issued. Can I still treat the date in the cops document as the day I received PR?
I was able to link mine on the same day I received my CoPR.
Your answers to the rest of the questions during linking need to match what is in the system (what you declared in your PR/previous application(s).)
In my case, linking failed during my first attempt because there are two acceptable spellings for my birthplace.
When I used the most common one, I got a "no match based on the inputs your provided" response.
When I used the one I
actually used in my PR application, it says "there is an application matching your inputs", then I select next, and was able to successfully link my application.
The answers to the linking questions have to literally match the answers you provided before. The same thing happened when I recently tried to link my student visa application from 2014. Some of the supporting questions I got recently were "When did the program start?" and "When did the program end?". If I input dates that don't match those that I declared in the application from seven years ago, I am unable to link it to my online account.
Hopefully this helps. Check your answers to the supporting questions. Good luck!
