Hello, so I have received an email today telling to check my gckey. I checked it and I had a message waiting for me in my inbox. The message says it needs more proof of relationship, 2018 t4 /t5 slips , and 2018 option c print out. And also asks for the same tax info from my wife. Tax wise I am not clear on what to give. I don't work in Canada. .ever, but my wife is employed in Canada. Also are these requested documents OK to scan and upload on gckey? Or how does that work? Thanks folks it was good to hear back from them even if it is kinda crappy news.

I'm not entirely sure how that works I know that if you have lived in Canada for most of 2018 you are expected to file taxes for the year even if your income is 0. You can probably explain that you haven't worked in Canada so you obviously wouldn't have a T4. Your wife can scan her tax forms and upload them unless they specify another way they want those documents. I'm not sure what kind of relationship proof they could want. was the letter more specific?. Our application was returned because I didn't supply those tax forms in our original application.

maybe they wont Its all over the place lately with the entire process. When we sent our original application in august it was swiftly returned with a nice big yellow paper on the top saying they need my 2017 NOA (I had given them my copy of what I submitted to the CRA and that wasn't acceptable apparently). it was really a good thing we did get it back because I hadn't paid the full amount for my husbands open work permit so was able to rectify that.

Quick question:

I just made a login into my cic account. I see profile updated, I didn't see any change in application status and I also logged in into Online services, I still see it as In-progress.

I received my AOR on October 26th and Background Processing started on Jan 17

Any idea what is going on ?

Thank you...

it looks like you got what we have been calling a "ghost update" it can mean a lot of things and no one can say for sure what is happening. Typically it means something has progressed in your application and you can expect some sort of correspondence in the next days or few weeks

I had this on March 4th and still haven't got any updates. But other people get them and seem to have updates within a few days

I see a change in the writing on GCKey where I check my father's file status.

Before it said:
We are processing your application. We will send you a message when there is an update or if we need more information from you.
You may not hear from us for a little while, this is normal. Most of the progress on your application happens closer to your estimated completion date.

As of today it says:
We are processing your application. We will send you a message when there is an update or if we need more information from you.
Make sure you read your messages and take action when we ask you to. This will help move the application process along.

I wonder if it just gets updated if you've hit the 6 month mark of they're actually going to start work on the file ... :rolleyes:

My wife is going with her mom tonight when she gets her taxes done and she will ask the account on how we can obtain the tax info that is required and set up a meeting with him.
