April 2018 AOR - join here

Hello everyone,
I have been a silent member of this forum and cannot quite describe how much support and information I gained from here.
Got PPR yesterday!!! Below are details
FSW - O
ITA : Feb 22 2018
AOR : April 28 2018
MEP/ IP1: May 4 2018
How to find a job in Canada mail: May 17 2018
IP2: Aug 4 2018
PPR: Aug 9 2018.
Family of 5. : Hubby , I and 3 children

My husband was the PA and is self employed which worried us a bit. But we submitted all coy docs, tax clearance, acc statement and references from some of his clients.
We did not get any ADR and did not contact them at anytime.
The wait takes its toll but this forum helps a whole lot.

Wish everyone speedy PPR

Same here. That's how I know :)

At first I thought this was related to CRS points, but this is not the case, as single applicants are given more points than applicants with dependents. This compels me to think that we are somewhat discriminated against.
 
Ahaha oh my gosh! Stolichnaya! That's awesome! We're planning to drink THIS (that's not my hand tho but this hand will also stick to the bottle)

I've got an "application/profile updated" with no updates in the profile but it has disappeared a few hours later. Is that a so called ghost update or I was supposed to receive an e-mail with an update information? What should I expect from this?

Here is some info I have inferred/gathered about ghost updates from work permit, visa extension, express entry and PR applications.
  • Ghost updates happen when your profile is updated by an agent or the system but the update is too granular to represent the status of a step visible in your online application.
  • For instance, background check involves 2 steps - criminality and security.
  • If the status of your criminality check changes - passed, declined etc but the status of your security check did not, the overall status of background check is still not available. Thus you will see that the status of the profile shows updated but no visible change is there in the details since criminality and security are not displayed separately.
  • With respect to the status on the summary page showing updated but then opening again showing submitted, I think that the IRCC system tracks whether the user opened the page at least one after a profile update. If it has not been visited and the application was updated (say in case of ghost update), the summary page shows updated as status. If after that one opens the application, since it has been visited, the system changes to the actual status of the application usually submitted.
  • I have noticed that if the application status of the summary page is updated but not visited, an email is sent out to the registered email address at around 8pm EST. Furthermore, I have seen that till the application is visited, emails are sent as reminders everyday at the same time 8pm. Technical note: to me this seems like a simple scheduled nightly batch job that checks for application status change and sends out emails to registered addresses.
  • So, if you have an update on your application which is too granular to be shown on the details page, and you did not visit the online site to open it by 8pm, you would receive an email saying there has been activity on your application. However on visiting the details page you will not see any change and the status on summary page would change to Submitted.
  • About receiving 1 or 2 ghost updates before a final decision - I think that if the background check as a whole (both steps) completed on the same day, only one ghost update is received. If however the 2 steps happen on 2 different days you get 2 updates.
  • Talking with IRCC CSRs I understand that even after background check is complete, an agent needs to review the entire application for overall eligibility(including background check). That is the eligibility needs to be changed from recommended pass to passed. It is the time an agent takes after the conclusion of background check to assess final eligibility that determines the time it took to get a PPR or decline notification after the last ghost update. I still question this analysis though since I have read that people got eligibility pass even before bg check pass.
  • Also, I am not aware whether inland applications are processed outside Canada - I doubt it since I have never seen an update after 5pm EST. Thus, to maintain sanity, I do not check application past 5pm on weekdays and never on weekends.
  • A lot of what I have said is inferred and based on my experience with online and large processing systems so take it with a grain of salt.
AOR: April 27
MEP: May 3
IP2: May 7
Ghost update: Aug 3

Congrats @Nialll ... please what documents is needed for including a common law partner in your application?
Click to expand...

You need to have lived with the person for a minimum of 1 year and be able to prove this (signed tenant agreement, rent receipts etc) You'll also have to go to a notary with a "Statutory Declaration of Common-law Union" and get it notarized. They'll also give you another page showing they were present when the form was signed that you'll have to upload as well. There may be another form that I'm not remembering but it'll be listed in your checklist if it is needed.
