Now it's confusing. What do you mean when you said that you want to add your wife's name in your passport? That is your own passport, what does your wife have to do with that? It contains your name and all, not your wife's name. Passports does not even say if your single or married.

Carefully follow the steps from this link to link to your GCKEY account. https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/how-to-link-an-application-to-cic-account-step-by-step-instruction.619724/ Use the link below to check updates using ECAS. Use the application number...

Exactly. But she still need to renew (with current last name) her passport though, if it will expire in 5 months. Hopefully she'll get it renewed as soon as possible, just in time for visa stamping in the near future.

If I understand it correctly, she will be changing her last name to her husband's last name. If the application started with her last name (before getting married - Maiden name), then her application is being processed under that maiden name. If she renews her passport and adapts her husbands...

See link of process map below for reference. https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/the-outland-sponsorship-process.639134/ You will have Line 1 in ECAS that says they received your application, then eventually you will have Line 2 in ECAS, that says they...

After passing BIO and Medical, you are still under background checks, which would take weeks, if not months to complete. Just remember the processing time is 12 months, so just be patient and wait for updates as it happens. You'll probably see "ghost" updates as your application is worked on...

It has to be the original signed form. If you're not together in the same country, same as what I did, I let my wife signed the completed forms first, then have the forms sent to me by mail, here in Canada, signed them myself, then sent the whole application package to CPC Sydney.

If Sponsors' status in ECAS is already "Decision Made", and the PA's status is already "In process", then that's good enough sign already that the Sponsorship approval is met. They would not start to process the PA's application without an SA. With or without the email confirmation, if PA's...

If you're done with SA, BIO and Medical, then the eligibility and background checks are already in progress, most likely. You can read from other testimonials or forum guides, that this will the longest stage of the application, as you might not receive an update for weeks, until all government...

Carefully follow the steps from the link. Best match would always be Application number, instead of UCI number, since the Sponsor and the PA have two different UCI numbers. Make sure you used the right place of birth, based on the one you've written in the application forms, and don't be...

I got the same actually. Did you receive any email?

I actually just checked the GCKEY, which I usually do daily :) I have to find out from my wife (PA) if she received any email. We already completed BIO and most recently medical (06/26), so updates can only be on eligibility or background checks. I'll take your word that it's usually a good sign :)

Hello everyone. I just need to ask, can anybody explain how these ghost updates work in GCKEY? I got my first ghost update today, which basically just says "Application/profile Updated".

Were you able to link your account already? If yes, can you confirm the default status of each step? Say on the background check, what is the default status? “We haven’t started background check…?”

ECAS would have a line update that says they already received your medical results, while GCKEY would have an update that says you already passed the medical exam.

Your receipt of payment of the fees. You included that in your application package, if you chose to pay the fees upfront.

CIC Online tool is checking for update using ECAS. See link below. On-Line Services (cic.gc.ca) Again, you can try using your receipt number (IMM5401-Starts with RXXX). Using a receipt number, I believe would only work if you already have UCI/Application number in the system. So this is...

I hope you have no issues with any of the documents you submitted. Try using your receipt number to check thru online tool. If there's still none, then all you can really do is wait.
