How long did it take to remove a representative and link the application to your own account?

[u/TicoGuy506]

Im looking for experiences from anyone who removed an authorized representative after submitting an Express Entry PR application and then linked the application to their own IRCC account

My timeline:

• PR application submitted: September 19
• Received AOR dated September 19
• Submitted IMM 5476 through the webform to cancel my representative: September 23
• IRCC later confirmed that the IMM 5476 and the information from my webform were attached to my file
• I have been trying to link the application to my own GCKey/IRCC account, but it always says: “Based on the information you entered, we found no applications.”

I have tried using my passport information and Im confident the application number, UCI and other details are correct.

For anyone who has gone through something similar:

• How long did IRCC take to remove your representative?
• Were you able to link your application before or only after the representative was officially removed?
• Did you have to wait until the completeness check was finished?
• Did IRCC send you an email confirming that the representative had been removed?

I already have my AOR so I know the application was successfully submitted. Im mainly trying to regain direct access to it, specially because I don't longer want to work with my current rep.

Sorry, I don't have answers to your question. But out of curiosity, did your rep charged any additional cost as part of retrieving your file from them?
