processing time is different for each applicant
Cancelling your representative doesn’t mean that it’s your opportunity to get the money back as well. It just means that you don’t want to be represented by them anymore. The money you paid wasn’t for your representation only. It was mostly for submitting your application on your behalf and sorting all the documents and making sure you didn’t make any mistakes. So you can cancel them as your representative and have the control back so that you can oversee all the updates. For them, a ghost update is not something that needs to be conveyed to you. Ghost update isn’t a formal term in the immigration process. It’s just background processing. “Ghost updates” became popular from people like us who were sharing even the tiniest of details to alleviate our anxiety around the whole process. As you may have seen in this forum, you will see people trying to identify some sort of trend from application numbers, or from where the file currently is (whitehorse, Calgary, Sidney, etc.), or what the officer number is. It’s just how we are sharing information with each other to just have some sort of idea about what’s going on. An immigration consultant will not tell you if your medical passed or if there’s any ghost update. They will only inform if your medical fails, or if your eligibility fails, if there are any documents that are needed, or the final decision. For them, any background processing resulting in ghost updates or if your biometrics get updated or your medical get passed is just normal processing. If you want each and every update, you can cancel them as representatives and just keep an eye by yourself. But that doesn’t mean you can get the money back. It is paid and was paid for submission of your file. Anyway, these consultancies just are a form of convenience. Many people can submit their own applications because all the info is given on website and it’s very easy. But I guess it’s just some form of anxiety around this immigration process so people applyy it through immigration agents who basically do nothing magical but just apply on your behalf. Anyway, if you want all the updates, cancel them as your representative.I personally don't want to cancel the representative as I have paid in the full amount and now fighting to get back the money will be too much of efforts sadly. Plus I feel like I am on the edge of receiving the PR hopefully(fingers cross!).
About the ghost updates and everything- I know I have been patient for as long as we all have beenits just that I want to know if my portal has any kind of update- my consultant did not inform me about my medical or any other update as she thought it is not useful for me to know- they said I will only update you if IRCC needs any documents or if you receive your PR or if you don't- that is the part it annoyed me so much and I had no idea how to tackle with that
But thanks- knowing there are more people who have been on the same board as me makes me feel a little better
make a complaint - https://www.college-ic.ca/protecting-the-public/complaints-process/make-a-complaintGuys! I am so done with the waiting now- P.s my consultant is not helping too much- I asked for updates and they get pissed- they don't even update me if I ever receive any ghost updates or anything. Even when my med was passed they didn't update me- it was me who figured it out when I asked for the picture of the portal page for my application and it said Medical passed.
So annoyed- I mean it is my right to know stuff about my application so don't tell me to stop asking for a picture of my portal once in a while as whenever I ask them for update all they say is "no update" and for them when my medical was passed they said "it is not of a big news" I felt so bad on this comment.
Oh well, I really hope I get my PR confirmation
bloody I applied for TRV on Dec 22, the processing time is 14 days. People who applied mid Jan have even got PPR. I don't know what mfkers I have been stuck with. These VOs are definitely putting their racial bias while handling my file. When you bring in trashy people, this is what happens. They have even penetrated the Government offices now.I personally don't want to cancel the representative as I have paid in the full amount and now fighting to get back the money will be too much of efforts sadly.

This is what they call 'THE GHOST UPDATE'.
I am June 17 and still waiting
My application is also submitted by a representative. I can just say , have patience you will get your PR soon. No need to bug them for update. As that what they told me , no need to sending emails for update we will update you if there is an important update.I personally don't want to cancel the representative as I have paid in the full amount and now fighting to get back the money will be too much of efforts sadly.

Keep your fingers crossed.
is there any instance of a refusal under any of the streams ? Mine was sent for a review as per GCMS notes, where it said ' I am not satisfied on the balance of probabilities that the PA meets the eligibility requirements'. The reviewing officer mentioned ' I am satisfied' and changed the status to 'I am not satisfied' after 20 minutes stating ' the last update was made in error' and sent it for further review. This activity is from January 2022. Then i received an ADR in Dec 2022. I have had three ADR's in all (see my signature). Does the last one mean eligibility was passed? This wait has been frustrating.
Spending time on this forum is fun. LOL
Edit: 2 weeks after the last ADR, status changed to background started. Eligibility is still under review.

COPR is something else than PR approval e-mail. Here is the order: After your case is officially approved you will be notified via e-mail. You will need to reply with answering a few questions. THen you will receive a portal credential e-mail. Once you log into PR portal and upload photo and declarations you will receive a notification of CONFIRMATION OF YOUR STATUS AS PR via email. Once you receive this you will need to log into PR portal again and download your eCOPR. Once you do that you will receive a COPR email. For me none if these landed in my spam, but they may for others.
Stay patient Yash. It will take some time between pre-arrival and PR approval email. But then they send you the pre-arrival it basically means decision is made.
Given that GCMS notes indicate that your eligibility was sent for review back in Jan 2022, it's my guess that they've completed their review & that you have 'passed' because I don't think they would have proceeded with the Aug, Oct & Dec ADR's otherwise. I have my PR email & PR Portal but my account still says they're reviewing my eligibility and background. Best wishes!
Just a note Yash...do you have other PR application going on ? If yes, It might be the other one getting approved. Note the application number and other details.
I thought this week was over for me but at last, I got my approval email today. To God be the glory.

Honestly, I have been with this consultant for a while for all my documentation. Yes you are correct about them just submitting and double checking our stuff to submit but I did mention it to them that I could've done it through the lawyer but since they did my work since the beginning they said we will get the PR done too for you. I was okay and patient until now when I said at least when you are updating me send me some of the evidence. Yes it is nothing for them but even a smallest update to our application gives us some hope that something is happening you knowCancelling your representative doesn’t mean that it’s your opportunity to get the money back as well.

But I get what you mean. It's just frustration at this point which is boiling me too. Kinda exhausted with the wait.
