Ghost updates new Tracker

[Nyash]

I think the jury is still out on whether these “ghost updates” mean anything; on social media and a lot of older threads on this forum (pre-COVID), seem to suggest they mean something but who knows what it means with this new tracker.
As a person shared earlier on, their GCMS notes did not reflect these so-called updates

I would not set too much store by these updates, BUT… not going to lie, I do feel a teensy bit better when I see them than when I don’t

PR tracker is VERY VERY unreliable. Take it from me. I am now a PR and went through everything, do not count on the PR tracker or GCKEY. Everything is very mixed up in the system.

Congratulation for getting the PR. How long did it take you to get it and what do you recommend us to do?

My exact sentiment. Idk if it means anything, but I prefer seeing an "update" than not lmfao

I share your sentiment. It truly is not fair that most cases (a lot of them are Indian) get their cases processed in 6 months or less and the rest of us have to wait atleast 1 year. I think they determine which case is simple and which is more complex. As for I, my husband is Iranian. Iran isnt on good terms with the west. They dont even have a Canadian embassy in Iran. Confirming information is really hard. He also had to serve in the Military for two years. They need to check that he isnt a threat to the Canadian public. The irony is, he wouldn't hurt a fly. We have to suffer because of people in power.

They have seen your application, determined that it is too complex for them to process in Ottawa so they have sent it abroad. Is it fair? No. Are they going to change their policy for you and I? Again No. Hopefully one day though.

Lets just wait it out. We have to at this point.

Wow. This breaks my heart for your husband but I truly believe that good things always happen to good hearted people. A friend of mine works at IRCC and he was honest to tell me that these applications are processed based on countries. They favor Asians and Indians more because they assume that they will contribute to the Canadian economy, find high paying jobs to pay taxes, etc. As for us, Africans, we are believed to come here and not be as smart or willing to work hard to earn and contribute. It comes down to that. Like you said, they know that we know this fact and they won't change it. So let's just wait it out and hope that the 12-month wait will be enough. Good luck to you my dear. We'll keep each other posted here

do you mean you got TRV for your partner? Did you get it? Do you inform them of your application in progress when you are trying to get a TRV?

Hi...we did not get the TRV yet....that is still in processing......when we applied for the TRV, there is an option to enter the UCI number if you have it...they will get the ino from that...also had mentioned it in the letter of explanation....

100%, but my strong feeling is that it just shows date when the platform refreshes, that's it; nothing to do with the officer working on the file

yup have been getting one literally everyday for the past 2 weeks; no actual updates since Medical passed, back in July

 

[randhawa7511]

Not really ! almost 5 out of the ghost updates 10 updates I have got within the same day I have received something in email, like medicals, eligibility, also SAP & AIP letters after ghost update on 25/26 August.
My theory is when certain items are updated or some information is received / updated on system it refreshes, and notifies the agent and they check in, followed by ghost update or any tasks completed. Internal checks !

If anyone calls IRCC and gets a hold of a representative, please ask them what they know and what they can tell us about these PR tracker updates & what they actually mean. All these speculations is hurting my soul. None of it makes sense.

I wish that is true to be honest because it least it gives us hope that something is happening, but based on what I have read about people going through their GCMS notes; they checked the dates when they got update on system against actual notes and most of the time there were no entries or anything else that indicates updates, so not sure. Hopefully someone is actually doing some work on the file, one can only hope
