Just caught a ghost update (not bad gateway)

I'm pretty sure that this just means that when they tell you "processing takes 6 months on average", they mean actual 6 months and not in business days. It doesn't mean that there are people in CIC sitting in the building physically looking at your file on the weekend or holidays. This message...

There shouldn't be a ghost update on the weekend. IRCC doesn't process over the weekend, and it's Easter weekend too, so shouldn't expect anything on Monday. Everything with bad gateway is a glitch, not an indication that the file was touched

Bad gateway is a problem with a server, this should not be treated as a ghost update.

I don't think I'm as optimistic as you are, I'm planning on a year for FSW-O. I hope your prediction is true, and not mine

I get those every once in a while too

Was this error 502 or a real ghost update?

Thank you! This makes a lot of sense!

@legalfalcon thank you for such a prompt response! I understand the point about meeting residency requirements, thank you! This is very helpful! Sorry I haven't been clear about my other question. I am actually an FSW-O applicant, and I am currently working on my PhD in the US, and I have a...

@legalfalcon, I have a couple of questions about PPR and COPR. As I'm trying to plan my time post-graduation, I'm looking into a year of post-doc starting in September in a country that is not Canada. Given that my AOR and medicals are done in December, and the current covid delays, what is the...

Mine has been the "We are processing..." since I submitted biometrics

I know what you mean. I'm tempted to call, but I'm sticking to waiting for the 6-month mark. Hard to stay patient, but also I agree that there's nothing I can do at this point, so why bother worrying too much

For Outland applicants, does having a job offer in Canada expedite the processing?

I see. I don't know what it is related to then, hopefully something good coming

Yeah that changed for me when the progress bar hit 50%, not sure if this is coincidence, or just I don't check enough. I think it's not a ghost update but a website glitch
