Our application was submitted on Oct 12, 2021. No Ghost updates..Just got an email on principal applicant email for Biometric request on 28 Jan and after 2 days got medical exam instructions. The attached PDF has UCI and application# that is like F000******. GC key account was linked with the UCI and application no and principal applicant's passport details. The next day I received sponsor eligibility approval in my email
Congratulations! What does it say on your PR portal now?

Thank you for sharing.. so ghost update is not a crucial step. I was really worried as i have not received any GU or email so far..Did you provide your email for all communication or it was PA's?
For PA and dependent the email id in Generic Application form was of my Parents and they received BIL and medical Instructions on that email id.

In PR portal there in no change. Status shows submitted and under Action, view is disabled. In GC key I can see the Biometrics updated and under review of Medical Results, it says "We have requested a medical exam. We will send you a letter or email with details"

Anyone else waiting to hear who submitted file around mid Oct 2021? I submitted mine on Oct 14, 2021, no ghost email, no SA approval, nothing?
I see people are getting first few steps. It is kind of making me worried.
Submitted on October 14 ghost email on 10th December after that no update

Can you please share what's the status under the "Review of Eligibility" in your GCkey? Is it "under review" or "sponsorship approved"?
In GC key account, Review of Eligibility is "We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements ". I guess, in Review of Eligibility, IRCC checks PA and dependent's eligibility and not sponsor's

Congratulations! Is your parents in Canada or Home Country? On sponsorship approval, which Visa office the application will be forwarded?

We submitted Oct 13.. still waiting for biometrics, medical or sponsorship approval.
It will be processed at CPC-Mississauga and this is based on one's parents address. My parents are in their home country

Hello,
I need some help. I have submitted the application on Nov 20, 2021, and last Friday, Feb 04 got an email with a pdf attached about the incomplete application. And PR application portal status is showing Returned. 1'ST THING IT MENTIONED:
"Marriage Certificate/Common-Law Declaration for Sponsor and Co-signer: A marriage certificate/ Statutory Declaration of Common-Law Union (IMM 5409) provided for the Sponsor and Co-signer does not meet the requirements for processing. The certificate must be legally registered with the governmental authorities in the jurisdiction where it took place. Note: A record of solemnization or marriage license/statement is not acceptable for marriages that were legally registered in Canada and the United States of America."
In this case, I did not submit IMM-5409, only I have submitted my marriage certificate (In additional documents) as the document checklist/guide mentioned that, IMM-5409 to be completed, signed by hand, and dated by the sponsor and the cosigner, only if in a common-law partnership. And I am married, so I was confused and that is the reason I did not submit IMM-5409. SO, IN THIS CASE, WHAT IS YOUR SUGGESTION HERE?


2'ND THING IT MENTIONED:
IMM 5406 (for Principal Applicant): The Additional Family Information (IMM 5406) provided was not completed fully. Please provide a current, completed, signed and dated Additional Family Information (IMM 5406) for the Principal Applicant and all dependents aged 18 and over, whether accompanying or not. Each individual must sign their own copy of this form by hand.

IMM 5406 (for Dependant): The Additional Family Information (IMM 5406) provided was not provided. Please provide a current, completed, signed and dated Additional Family Information (IMM 5406) for the Principal Applicant and all dependents aged 18 and over, whether accompanying or not. Each individual must sign their own copy of this form by hand.

In this case, I filled it up for both of my parents in the online portal. Now I do not know why they're asking it again to submit via email or mail in 30 days. SO, WHAT IS YOUR SUGGESTION HERE?

I am so sorry for the long message here. Any advice would be highly appreciated. Thanks
