So what does that mean. I am in my ip2 stage. Will I receive my ppr soon ??
There's a chance. PPR is often preceded by a ghost update like this, but there's no guarantee - sometimes simply nothing happens after a ghost update.

The one thing we can say with certainty is that they're working on your application right now. What's your AOR date?

There are a few banks that offer "Newcomer" packages that allow you to get a Canadian credit card with them.

CIBC
HSBC
RBC

I'm a little bummed about leaving my awesome credit history behind in the US, too, though. :(
I was thinking of this too. Can’t we just use our US credit cards and just take the usual 3% conversion fee? I don’t plan on using them a lot, but nice knowing I have a safety cushion. I’ll probably keep at least one US checking account I think.

I think it depends on your credit card company. Some of them might not be comfortable with you leaving the US and will either require you to maintain a US address or have you close the account. I do intend to keep two of my credit cards if possible (no foreign transaction fees for me :cool:), but I'll also be getting a Canadian one.

The other issue is things like mortgages and financing depend on your credit history. I think Canada is much more lenient on credit history in general, though, so it's not as big of a deal as establishing good credit history in the US.

in Vancouver, many landlords won't even let you rent an apartment with a poor Credit Score. Mind you, at the time I started renting my apartment I had been in Canada for 10 months with a credit score of almost 700, and I still had to jump through a few hoops because apparently ''I have an ok credit score, but too limited credit history".

I find financially many things in Canada aren't exactly immigrant-friendly. No one cares about your income or financial past, as an immigrant you're considered to be high-risk regardless unless you can put down big down payments.

does 'eligibility recommend pass' means that the case has gone past the R10 check?

Hi all

I just checked my profile. It said application/profile updated. When I checked there was no change in the application stages and no email. Is this the ghost update which all refer to???

Dude. I read somewhere ircc doesn't conduct background checks themselves.. they have a tie up with a 3rd party.. this 3rd party who does hundreds of background checks daily must've experienced similar situations many times and they know how to go about it.. don't worry..
Thanks.
