C(caps)reating a tracker account for a permanent residency
application is an important step. This tracker provides the most up-to-date
information on the current status of each phase of your case. Whether you are
waiting for a final decision or have just submitted your Biometrics, the IRCC
Tracker can provide essential information. In this guide, learn how to create
an IRCC tracker account for PR application through a step-by-step process.
What is IRCC Tracker Account?
An IRCC tracker account allows you to check the status of certain immigration applications using the Application Status Tracker. The Application Status Tracker is an improved and more efficient way to track applications, as it provides the status of each case, phase by phase.
Information Required to Create Tracker Account
The very first thing to do when creating a tracker account is to gather required information. IRCC allows only two types of individuals to have a tracker account: Principal applicant or sponsor and Representative or designated individual. In case you are a primary applicant or sponsor, you need to provide the following information to set up the account:
- Unique Client Identifier (UCI)
- Application Number
- First and Last name
- Date of birth
- Place of birth
On the other hand, in the case of a Representative or designated individual, the applicant must have filed a "Use of a Representative [IMM 5476]" form or the "Authority to Release Personal Information to a Designated Individual [IMM 5475]" form while application submission. Only then party ID and first/last name can be used to create the tracker account.
Based on the data we have, a tracker Account for the PR Application can only be created after 24 hours of receiving the BIL(Biometrics Instruction Letter) even though the IRCC website states that it can be created after receiving AOR. (alert-info)
