Although not glitch per say - helpline agent appears to may have access to GCMS tool to read the latest or last updated status on file. I called 3~ weeks after getting GCMS notes and agent told me there is no change in assessment. Info sharing & Criminality is in-progress. However it seems there was a bulk push for background check as everyone reports background check in-progress. I think a ghost update in GCkey account is more accurate to tell some major change happen on the application.

Ah I understand. I guess if everyone is seeing that, it could be an error or glitch, or it could be that the systems were updated to show the correct background status.

Something really dumb I noticed today. In the PCC I submitted from my home country, it says the certificate can be cross verified using a weblink. But today I tried using that link and it does not work (server cannot be found). I tried the same link when I first got the PCC and it was working. Now they changed it to a different one. The only change being from http://www.* to https://* . I know it should not limit IRCC to verify my PCC but I informed them through webform anyways. All I can really hope is that thing is not delaying anything.

Anyone here with experience of applying/approving for BOWP?

I am curious whether they mail you a new/updated permit once approved, or they just inform you that you are approved?

I have AR for this stream at March 2022 and I am preparing myself to be one of the unlucky ones.
My PGWP is expiring early Feb 2024.
I plan to be outside of Canada sometime between Sept - end of Nov this year.

Apparently the IRCC removed the minimum requirement for months before you can apply for BOWP and now you can apply whenever and the extension lasts for 12 months (?). So I was trying to figure out whether I should apply for BOWP this summer, or wait till December and apply then.
If they mail new document that I need for travelling, I would apply in Dec to avoid potentially long BOWP processing time that can hinder my trip

(I hope I managed to change all BOTW to BOWP lol)

Hi:

When did you can start to check your application status in the application Tracker ? such as long time after AOR ?

It has been one months for my AOR and link, but I cannot find my application in the Tracker.

Is there anyone else know about this ?

Thank you

I think the tracker was updated to include NonEE PNP applications on or around March 20th 23' (hence the top right update date in the beginning). I registered on March 22nd, 23' I think. This is the link to register: Tracker . I was able to register with all of my application information. I think you should be able to too. I am suspecting you were using this instead: Client Application Status ? I do not think that works for our applications. If you were using the right link, then my guess would be the information you provided to register is not matching the info in the system like, the system might have * as the family name instead of your actual family name or the family name could be same as the given name, or if you have middle name, given name and middle name could have been combined in the system.....etc.... I cannot tell you for sure, but you could try different things if it works. Also heres another link that might help.

All they needed to do was to create a redirect.

By looking in the spreadsheet i have not seen any updates on medical pass in the month of Apr. However in some cases the MR pass was updated with the AORs...

I guess for many people medical is not required because they have given previously (was the case for me)
In my GCkey it says I do not require a medical exam. So that would be the case for most of the inland application
