What happens after I link an application to an IRCC secure account?

After you link the application, it appears under the “View my submitted applications or profiles” section on the main account page. Click “Check status and messages” to see the application status and messages about the application.

If you see “Linking in progress,” check back again later.

Once your application is linked, you’ll receive messages about your application through your IRCC secure account. You will no longer receive letters about your application by mail.
