Application : CEC inland
AOR : July 25th
MEP : 17th Aug

No updates after then.

Do we get any notification about status updates by cic ? For instance, a lot of people of the group are discussing about ghost updates. I am not sure what that term is or how is the status update notified?

I have the same dates but I'm FSW-OUTLAND , you have to check ur account from time to time to see whether ur status has been updated or not.

Okay. Thanks for the response. One of my friends' who is a CEC inland as well, got his PPR on October 4th, (AOR July17) and his online status still shows IP1. Not sure if the online tool is kept up-to date by CIC.

Not sure too

Thanks for sharing this, it is really helpful. Do you have these data? I am wondering as it seems the average is skewed to US residents. Can you get the median or the 3rd quartile instead of the average?

Thanks! I got this data by scraping (via Chrome DevTools Network tab) this URL:

https://myimmitracker.com/en/ca/trackers/consolidated-e-apr-tracker-express-entry-permanent-residency-application/analytics/passport-request-ppr-date-estimator

(Search for "treemap" XHR in Network tab)

Then dumped to JSON -> CSV -> Google Sheets.

I believe this data is unfiltered (all residents and citizens). Unfo quartile data is note there, will have to be computed from raw data - will try if I get time cant promise - sorry

It is not kept updated. There are hundreds of cases on this forum to prove that. The statuses in online CIC account have no practical purpose apart from Medical status. Other than that if anyone wishes to know true progress of application they should be ordering GCMS notes.

Personally, I would advise anyone who is at 75+ days mark from AOR to order GCMS notes. It takes one month to get GCMS notes. So better to know status of your application around 3.5/4 month mark than to wait for 4/5 months and then order GCMS notes.

Hi,we have the same exact dates and I'm also still on IP1. Please let me know how this goes and also how does one go about ordering the GCMS notes from outside Canada ?

Best of luck bro (or sis? cant tell from username )!

I ordered GCMS notes from USA here: https://www.getgcms.com

They seem legit and proper (nicely explained what is needed, cost $15, everything online - download one form, sign, scan and email back). It takes 30-35 days and I just ordered so don't have full experience yet - will post back.

Is there a way of scraping raw data from the table? If we can get the raw data I can give much more analysis than quartiles.

And I mean the raw data of tracker and not of the analytic charts they have.

Its possible using Network tab but not as straightforward as the analytics page. Cant promise, will try to hash something out but I have a fulltime job haha!

Sure thing. I tried and I failed. The issue is that the data in those table is retrieved when you "scroll" the webpage. So, any scraping needs to scroll the webpage as well. I couldn't figure out a way to do that. You seem to be more equipped to handle that.

Thanks!

Yes, it is tricky because of the scrolling. I started a long time ago to overcome this with developing a selenium scrapper that scroll and pull the data, but got busy and did not finish it

Damn now I have to google what the heck is selenium scrapper Anyways sounds like you're the right man for the job.

If you succeed I will reach out and try and understand how you did it. Just a suggestion reduce the # of columns in the table if that helps with scraping. There are a lot of useless columns like days between AOR and medical etc. If we have the dates we can calculate those ourselves.

Also, if you do scraping remove the filter on active and inactive cases.

Seems like I mixed up two different people. Apologies!

I can send you the code I wrote and you can reuse it if you want
