Hi All,
I got a ghost update this morning. Current status said "Application/profile updated". Upon resigning in status got changed to "submitted" again.

My timelines & updates by IRCC agents so far :
AOR March 20 2019
Upon calling IRCC , agent mentioned Criminality and Medicals Passed. Security Not yet started.
Eligibility - Review Required. Case was moved from CIO (Centralized Intake Office) to Montreal Local office on Aug 6 for Officer review.
I raised GCMS request on Oct 27 to find out the reason for REVIEW REQUIRED. No updates since then until this morning, when I received a ghost update. No emails about any documents or anything.

Could this ghost update be due to GCMS notes request that I raised? Normally, When they access GCMS notes do we get Ghost update?

Your inputs are much appreciated. Thank you.

Ghost updates are not caused by GCMS notes

Thanks for responding @cansha .
I just had a call with IRCC and the agent confirmed that the ghost update was due to passing of eligibility and security.
Until last week Eligibility was REVIEW required & security had not started.
As per the agent on call , he confirmed all 4 stages are passed and I should expect the PPR email next.
Not sure how long it takes from now.

@Jalil8882 I think you can relate to this... ?

Congratulations, atleast you know that your application is cleared.

You still have to wait but atleast your mind is relaxed that nothing is wrong with your application. Its all cleared.

True. Its good to know that the review required step cleared off.
I am just thinking as you got two different set of information from 2 different agents you had a call with , not sure how reliable is this information I got about all stages cleared, until we really receive the PPR email. Wait is all we can do.

Quick question - did you get any ghost updates on your application?

I also had review required in September and it gor cleared in oct.

About the confliting info , i asked the agent in last call and he said that you still have to receive the landing interview email thats why the other agent said that application is still in process. He was trying to cover the other agent.

I received only one ghost update in oct and i called the next day and was told that all assessments are cleared.
I came to know about the decision made in a webform that i raised in nov end.

Congratulations on passing all the assessments. I also received a ghost update on the day that all assessments were passed.I received PPR 25 days after all the assessments were passed. I applied under Federal Skilled Worker though. It may take longer for those who applied under Canadian Experience Class.

So its already been 2 months from when you were told by the IRCC agent that all stages are passed for you. And you havent recieved the PPR email.


Thank you @Holyange . Hope PPR email is the next step.... How much time after the ghost update did you receive the PPR?

Congrats! the PPR is on the way! They get their work done before Christmas. I have a friend who got PPR today and his AOR is March 3rd. I guess they are making a progress in the VO.

Web form query response told me that VO is Montréal. Looking at the forum, it seems Montréal is slowest and I have miles to before I sleep!

Hi Guys,

I called CIC yesterday. They informed me that I have passed eligibility and security.

Details:

Ghost Update: 16th Dec
AOR: 18 March 2019 (FSW Inland)

What do you guys think, how long would it take to get an email for the passport request?
