I've kept an auto-reload of 6 minutes to avoid session timeout on GCKey, but in an hour or two it still logs out saying the session is invalid/expired.

Does keeping GCKey open always, affect IRCC in anyway while processing/updating our application

Just curious, why would you prevent your gckey account from timing out? Keeping the gckey open will not fast track your application in any way.

I know it won't help, but curious me wants to find out if any downsides to that
Gckey is just a web portal that IRCC can update the applicants on the status of the application. IRCC may or may not update each applicant's gckey in a timely manner, so in a way there's no connection IMHO.

Potential problem, IMHO, is the very remote chance of timing out and auto-reload happening at the same moment. Could mess up the communication and lock out your account. Again, this is just my opinion, so take it with a grain of salt.
