Finally, received my Golden email!
My timeline below for CEC inland:
AOR- May 07th, 2021
Medicals passed- May 27th, 2021
...Nothing for the longest time....
Received ghost update on January 17th, 2022.
I asked for my ATIP which arrived on February 21st, 2022 (Ordered on December 27, 2021). The ATIP showed me that this ghost update from January 17th was when the analyst put my eligibility as recommended passed. The others were: Criminality Not started; Security Not started; Info sharing: in progress, VO Montreal
Yesterday I got my second ghost update, background changed to in progress. Eligibility continued in progress.
And today I got the Golden email! Now just waiting for the portal credentials.
My point is, do not follow these updates by heart because I believe they don;t update them as they should. Even my ATIP showed Criminality and Security not started just one week before I got the approval. So, believe it, they are working on your process. Good luck for everyone still waiting!
