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.
