If you read back a couple of pages yoI'll see that it's happened to quite a number of people and you can also see the actions some took. Good luck.
Thanks @tobs for your reply.

I did go back few pages and found two more candidates in same situation but think they too are planning to send an email to Nova Scotia.
Think i should wait till they receive a reply or till my application's 6 months get over.

No don't wait email them.
Also read all the way back about e-mailing NDVO maybe its an option you can consider

Try to find out the status of your application by calling or raising a webform.
Go through this thread to find out how.

Got a ghost update on 3rd Jan and another one today 5th Jan.
FSW/O
Office: Ottawa
AOR 25 July
ADR/Medical Passed on 16 Aug
ADR RCMP fingerprint submitted on 29Aug
No updates after that
GCMS generated on 27/sep showed
Eli: Recommend pass (since 25/sep)
Crim: In progress (since 29 aug)
Sec: Not Started

Called CIC after ghost update on 4th Jan, agent said criminality and eligibility both passed and only security is the only assessment left.

And got a ghost update again on a Saturday here, possibly late Friday in Ottawa. Fingers crossed.

Anyone applying from Dubai?
Aor: July 20
Raised CSE but got a generic reply.
VO is Ottawa and eligibility is on review.

Hard to get through to the agent.
Any other number to contact from dubai?

Sounds good @tobs . But, don't you think that web form has a better chance of receiving a reply than an email has?
Ok. Yes not all of the approved cases get Ghosts, though majority of them do, thats why I asked. I havent got a ghost as well, and would like to think that mine may have got approved without a Ghost update. fingers crossed !!

Guys who are emailing or raising CSE who are approaching but haven’t reached 6 months yet be aware that CIC do specify that they won’t reply to CSE raised outside of standard processing times (6 months)

Just a quick FYI that you shouldn’t be surprised if you don’t hear anything back or at best, get a generic email back.

It’s best to wait till you hit your 6 month date indicated by your progress bar before contacting for updates. (I imagine this is also why a lot of the call centre agents are “rude” because they get people calling way before they reach the 6 month period) plus we have seen people get PPR on their 6 month date! :D

You think they give a specific reply post 6 months? If yes, you're mistaken.

Also, there is no restriction in raising a CSE before 6 months. Many have raised and they will get to know if their file is approved. The rule is this, you can expect a specific reply only if your file is approved. If it is not, it doesn't matter whether you are under 6 months or over 6 months they will give a generic reply.
