Hi guys,

I got my AOR on Feb 15th and passed medical on April 1st. 1 week later I got a so called "ghost update" (April 9th) and never got any updates after that. I read couple of posts that all mentioned ghost update is a good sign of getting PPR but it has been quite while since I got it. Does someone have similar experience like me?

thank you.

It really helps to call CIC. You may have to hold for about 30 minutes or so but it is worth it. You can use different options to get to the agent, but once you get an agent, they are usually great at providing as much information as possible. I've also found that a day after calling something gets done in the file, so it is worth it!

AGREE,
call IRCC, as you had a ghost updates, a wonderful agent will most probably tell you that your Med passed, Eligibility passed, Criminality passed, Security in progress :)

Whats your NOC? dependents? Country?

Yes, I am CEC inland. To be honest I don't even know which stage I am at right now (IP1 OR IP2 I don't know)...
is your background check in progress or not started?

My medical changed from" you don't need" to July 22, you passed your medical exam". All other columns are still showing in process. I still haven't receive ppr email yet. I need my passport back on sept 1st for a trip so I am quite stressed.

Does anyone else have this update and still waiting for ppr email?
