Hi All. CEC Inland candidate.

AOR: 09th August
Mep/Biometrics: 29th September.
1st Ghost Update: 30th September (got an email).
No updates for few months. Sometimes I didn't check the status for 2 weeks so not sure if there were any ghost updates that i might have missed. I started logging in regularly from January this year.
Next Ghost update: 11th January.
No changes since then and I have requested GCMS notes.

But it is good news to see that they have started processing CEC applications in full capacity. Wishing all the best to everyone.

From what I understand the criminality starts after biometrics are submitted so you dont need to worry about it

Awesome. Did you try calling them?

Btw for the first ghost update -I think everyone gets it after submitting biometrics.

No, i didn't call them. Which number can I call and what reference will I have to give in order for them to zero down my application? Also, how do I get to know what VO my application is in as I see a lot of people talk about VOs but I don't know what my VO is. I applied from Toronto.

Since you are in Toronto, call 1-888-242-2100 between 8 am and 4 pm ET. If the lines are too busy, they might not put you in the queue to talk to an agent.

If you do enter the queue, you will wait about 27 mins on an average before getting connected to an agent (you do have the option to request call back).

When connected - just request the status of your application. They will ask you your application number, name, address, etc. You can ask specific questions (example) - status of eligibility, status of criminality, security, etc.

Also, you dont need to know your VO.
 
Good morning all, I got 2 mails from HongKong. 1) at 7:30 am acknowledgement of my ADR documents. 2) at 8:45 am, approval email. I never knew they send mail for approval. No passport request yet. We will all get there in Jesus name. Primary VO, Accra, secondary Hong Kong, aor august 29

Congrats
 
Received my GCMS notes today (requested 11th November, generated 16th November) and can see my Criminality is Recommended Pass.

Also see that all my submitted documents have been checked and verified by the Program Assistant, so that's good news.

Primary VO is Ottawa.
Secondary Vo is Edmonton.

I can see Info Sharing has been completed. Info came back from Australia, New Zealand, the US and the UK.

Called IRCC today and status updated:

Eligibility: Recommended Pass
Criminality: Recommended Pass
Security: Not Started (as expected, this won't start until Eligibility is conclusively passed by an officer)

Good to see some movement at last.

This is positive news, I hope things pickup pace in Spring and Summer seasons.
