I wish we were that far. They haven't started to even look at ours though our biometrics and medical have been complete since mid-January. Hope you hear some news soon. Also, why is a third party looking at your application? Do they mean CSIS or something?

Thank you for this informative post. It is good to know the inside track, as it were. I do have to say I found it quite hilarious though because the gist of it all is that "anything could mean something, or it could mean absolutely nothing". Seems like the perfect reflection of everything IRCC...

Thank you.

People keep talking about GCKey ghost updates. Can anyone tell me what they look like. GCKey hasn't changed for me since the second I signed on except to say medical and biometrics were passed. It has said "reviewing" and "processing" for eligibility and BG check since the beginning of January...

My husband is also an American, born and raised, and had never even left the country before he met me. He's never been in trouble with the law and other than our age difference (9 years) there should be no red flags. I don't know.... This is just exhausting and I'm so over it, for the second time.

Maybe/I hope things have changed but they returned our first application because we applied Outland online (Dec. 2021) and they sent it internally to the Inland processing centre which is Mississauga. I hope that is not the case for you and that Mississauga is processing both Outland and Inland...

I'm curious for all those who are speeding through the process - Is this your first/second/third/etc. marriage? Do you have kids together or with someone from another relationship? Have you been married for 2+ years? I'm asking because there seems no rhyme or reason why some of us are taking so...

My husband is American too. Who knows. It's seems more like a crap shoot than anything any of us do. This process is just so broken.

That was fast! Congratulations!! What's your secret? Eligibility hasn't even started on our tracker and they can't seem to decide my status. I'll log in today and I'm listed as "Spouse" and then I'll log in tomorrow and they have me listed a "Other" in terms of how I'm related to the...

We are Sept 30 applicants. Biometrics and Medical completed in January. Radio silence ever since.

I should be. Mine starts with an F because I'm family class but yes, no X should mean it is the actual file #.

Agreed! I have the online tracker and the GCKey. Is ECAS the third one? I can't access that because I'm online. Someone also mentioned that GCKey shows ghost updates and are now the only reliable source to know your app has been opened on their end. What does a GU look like in GCKey? The only...

Just called IRCC and was told my husband's app was transferred to Ottawa VO. Hopefully that is a good thing. Looks like you are all average about 10 months. Fingers crossed it'll be the same for us! Tracker is showing it is being updated daily so I don't know what that means. Nothing ever...

Temp AOR is one that they will give you if you call and have an inquiry about your app or if you are trying to add something to your app. They will give you a temp AOR with a temp file # that starts with an X. They will do this if they have not yet verified the contents of your app. Once the...

I got through to IRCC today. Apparently our file is now in Ottawa. Not sure if that is a good thing or not. In my estimation it should have been sent to LA or NY. Anyone heard if this is good or bad? At least is wasn't Etobicoke :oops:

Anyone else having daily "updates" on the tracker but nothing ever changes? Yesterday I logged in and it had changed Sponsor Relationship from "Undetermined" to "Spouse" and I thought YAY!!! something is happening. I logged back in 5 minutes later and the Sponsor Relationship said "Other". It...

Just keep calling. As soon as you get the "we're too busy to answer" message, hang up and try again. I'm usually at it for about an hour before I finally get through.

That's crazy. Why ask people to pay $500 out of pocket for a medical check at the beginning of the process if they aren't even going to honour it at the end? What a joke. Sorry you have to do that again.

Contact your MP and ask them to inquire with IRCC on your behalf. Same thing happened to me when we applied in Dec 2021. Turns out they directed our Outland Online application to the Inland office and it took them 10 months to return our application. My MP was working to figure things out for 5...
