I applied under CEC (inland) AOR is October 20, 2023
Comprehensive Security Screening since February 2024.
Today I saw a ghost update in GCKey.
CSIS ATIP reply indicates that they are not done yet as of July 26, 2024, so not sure the GU means.
Last couple of weeks I see two changes on 'updated date' on tracker with a week apart (i.e., two ghost updates on tracker with a week apart), which is strong indication of movement of the file. Today I see an update on GCKey. Medical changed from Passed to You don't need a medical exam.
As per GCMS notes, my upfront medical expired late last month, but in February IRCC added another medical I did on the application file which shall expire on January 4, 2025. However I don't think either way it should be an issue because the temporary policy exempting medicals for inland applicants who did a medical with a result of no or low risk within 5 years has been extended to 2029.
Possibly it is just an administrative update as a byproduct of the implementation of the new policy or by virtue of my upfront medical being technically expired, or it is an indication that my file is very close to finalisation, because normally they fiddle with medicals again just before they finalise a file.
While I was getting ready to pull the trigger on mandamus application next week, leading up to one year anniversary since AOR, I guess I shall give another two weeks till the end of the month.
