August 2018 AOR - join here

Regarding my biometrics status - We need your fingerprints to process your application - though I've done biometrics on September 12, yesterday I reported a technical issue, and raised CSE with the description of the problem. But the issue is that when raising CSE, you have to choose your visa office, which is processing your application. And your claim is directed there. As for me, I have no idea, which visa office is mine.

There is a CSE form that is non-country specific.

Hello,
I have been monitoring the forum everyday. What did I miss here ?
When you say many of us, you mean the August group or the applicants in general ? I have this question because , I see people from June group already celebrating the festive season but I doubt celebrations are yet to start for August army, a long way to go rather. Please correct me if I missed any updates on the forum.

Cheers!

Dude, The Festive season only starts now... It remains till the time you get the PPR. So hold on, the festivities have just begun!

Hi Guys,
While checking the status of my application today it was ''updated'' (without any real update ) but after 2 minutes it went back to submitted
any idea about what can this be? ghost update? or false alarm ?

I Hope so, im really stressed and by the way Im PNP Outland and i read a lot of reviews that this stream takes 6 months and im on my second month now, so i hope that this is not a false alert really

Clearly, despite the status saying “IP1” CIC was conducting checks in the background and the moment they were done (assuming on 2nd) they issued the PPR the next day(3rd). Therefore, there is no set strategy for IP1 to IP2 etc.

Conducting Background check for USA applicants is very easy for Canada. USA has already done all the hardwork of strigent security checks, before they gave access to a person to reside in USA. Security records that are reqd later on, are given by the FBI, as and when reqd or requested. So Canada has a cake dressed ready to be taken and all they need to do, is to put a cherry on top and this reduces the background check time (IP2) dramatically for usa residents unlike residents from other countries.

oh would that be my case? because i reside in Algeria but i work in USA Embassy , can that be a reason why i jumped to IP2 very quickly and i got my ghost update not email today after 2 months only?

The update you're referring to could very well be a result of the completeness check. You should get 2, one for completeness check and another after your biometrics are uploaded to CIC. At least, that was the case for me.

For biometrics its already done since 06 september 2018 but what do you mean about completeness?

When something is completed in your application, you see the "application updated" change. When you submit your application, the first step for CIC is to check whether you had submitted all the required documents and that's called the completeness check and this could be the reason why you saw "application updated".
