I have a question. I was just trying to link the application online and looking at my IMM0008 form, I notice that I have put "1" for the question 3 - How many family members are in this application? Is this incorrect? Since everyone suggest to put "2" when trying to link the application online. I'm more worried about being this form incorrect for the CIC officer and less worried about getting my application linked. Please let me know if you put the same number in the actual form but different for linking application online. :/ Thank you.

I tried this combination, I hit space bar on the "City/town of Birth", it gave me a warning saying to fill in the Country of birth .

I received the AOR1 today and face the same issue while trying to link the online account . Leaving blank space for city of birth pops the error of missing information . Once I add the same - it says unable to find the application . Any luck on how to fix this ?

I'm having the same problems! Tried with caps, no caps, blank passport info, all combinations of app number+UCI+name, and no success. I have used up my 5 daily chances and no luck... I even tried using IExplorer instead of Chrome. Maybe those who are using space bar in the city of birth are using Firefox? I can't try that because I used up my tries of today In the email it says I have 7 calendar days to link it, but it seems to be impossible and I've only 2 days left D:

You do not need to do it within the timeline, or at all. It's not mandatory - but if you pass the 7 days, you can do it anytime throughout, so don't panic.

Thanks!
I was finally able to link it. I called for an agent, and apparently the problem was that they had another city of birth than what I wrote in the application. The city is the same, it's just that they had a different name registered. Using the name they had automatically gave me a result.

So for those who have problems linking, the information has to match what they have on their system and not necessarily what you wrote exactly, so if you're sure you are entering the correct info, give them a call. Another problem the lady mentioned could happen is if your name is too long and they shortened it, it won't match. Finally, if it's spouse sponsorship, you do have to write 2 people.

Hope it helps somebody

OK...
So I got my first email from IRCC on my sponsorship application today. (For Dependent Child).
So, with all the info I had read from this forum, tried the link my application. (I am the sponsor and I was linking to my (sponsor) account).
Went in with the details as I submitted and I got the no application message.

Later after couple of hours, tried again (used the File # and Last name option). This time, the change I made in my search is, as many suggested here, put the number of applicants in applications as 2 (instead of 1).
Thank God, it worked. And dont be fooled... the search result page just says we searched with the informations and : an application was found.... in a normal font. It wont show the Application details. For a moment as I saw a blank area between two red lines (where I was hoping to see the application details), i thought it didnt work. But then when I read the info provided below, I was happy and then clicked the link my application. Thats it.
Now my kid's sponsorship application is showing up in my account.

Thanks you all for your info sharing.

Hi all, I was finally able to get the system to find our application. It didn't work until today - I swear I tried this info combo before but who knows. I can confirm that since our representative is using the paid representative portal it gives me the following message:

"Based on the information you entered, we found: 1 application

We see that you have a representative tied to this application. Your representative has access to your application.

If you no longer want to use a representative and access the application yourself, you can cancel your representative by filling out the Use of a representative form [IMM5476] (PDF, 647.96 kb) and choose "cancelling the appointment of a representative."

I have no intention of dropping my representative, just an FYI. I don't believe this shows up if you're your own spouse's representative.

The combination of information that I used to find the application (finally) was:

1. Logged in with GC Key account.
2. Permanent Residence > Family Class (Spouses)
2. Application Number and Family Name - Copy/pasted application number from email (including the F) and entered PA's last name.
3. City of Birth - I entered 1 space (hit spacebar once)
4. Country of Birth - Selected PA's country of birth
5. Passport Info - Did not enter any passport info
6. Other Application Info - Filled out the other application info as per our application and put '2' as the number of members in the application. I am sponsoring my husband, no dependents.

It popped up saying 1 application was found. Hope this helps someone trying to link their account.

Thank you so much. The above details were so helpful. The only difference is that I had to enter the City of Birth as per the submitted application. Also, the total number of persons is "2" me the sponsor, and the wife. I thought the number is "1". I didn't enter passport details. All other details are copy/paste from the email confirmation or the application.

Hello All,
i haven't received the request for Schedule A form, SA is done, medical done. I have submitted my PCC along with the applications document.
Can this be the reason that i was not asked for Schedule A form?
Please help

Hi there, I still cannot link my application. Our application has been in for over a year. Even our lawyer can't do it and cic never answered our CSEs, our trouble shooting technical inquiry, etc. Please, can you give me the number you called to get them to help you over the phone?

A lawyer can only link through the rep portal. You can't link the same way others do that do not have representatives

How do they do that? Our MPs office sent us the trouble shoot way to do it that a lady from CIC sent them to send to me to send to my lawyer.
