    How to link an application to your IRCC secure account

    To link an application:

    • Follow the steps to sign into your online account or create a new one.
    • In your account, under “View the applications you submitted”, click on “Add (link) your application to your account to check your status”.
    • Enter the information exactly as you did on your original application. If you made updates after you applied, enter the most recent information.

    You can try to link an application 5 times. If it doesn’t work after 5 tries, you’ll be locked out for 24 hours.

    After you link your application, you won’t receive paper letters about your application. We’ll send messages about your application to your account.

    If you’re using a representative, they’ll lose access when you link the application to your account.

    Our online services are unavailable. Please try again later. Thank you for your patience.

    It takes up to 5 days for online applications to appear in your account

    After we receive your application, it may take up to 5 days for you to see it in your account. We are working to shorten this wait time. If your application does not appear after 5 days, contact us and report a technical problem. This issue will not delay the processing of your application.
