When you log in, the application says “Application/Profile Updated" but none of the fields have changed. Once you logout and log back in, the application returns to being “Submitted”. Ghost updates are not announced by email and a candidate must check their profile daily to not miss them.

That’s different. You’d see visible updates on biometrics. Ghost updates, you mostly don’t see any update but your application was updated.
What if some one miss those ghost updates while application is in-progress? Does that make such impact or delay in application process? Just want to understand what exactly happens if some one miss that? TIA
Oh no, missing it doesn’t impact or delay the application process. Some just like to catch these ghost updates cos it gives the feeling that the application is being worked on. Those who catch ghost updates log into their profiles regularly. Ghost updates don’t come with emails cos no new information is needed from the applicant. If IRCC needs something from you, they will also send an email that will alert you to log into your myCIC account.
Another ghost update again today, came with a change. Background check has changed back to “we are processing....” IP2.

I am going to get married 27th of this month (almost half way through my application), to a person who already has a Canadian PR. I will inform IRCC via webform once I get my marriage certificate. please let me know if my points will be recalculated or will I be asked to apply via spousal PR route or any other things I maybe missing on this angle. Thanks in advance for your help.

Oh! Mine has always just said "We are processing your application. We will send you a message when there is an update or if we need more information from you." I got my MEP and biometrics were automatically updated. I've never seen it 'updated' without an email.
Everyone’s application says that. For Ghost updates, when you log into your profile, the “Submitted” becomes “Application/Profile Updated”....that’s a ghost update. When you refresh the page a few times, it changes back to “Submitted”. You may or may not see any actual change on your profile. It just means an officer or agent worked on your profile at that time.
I received a call from Service Canada to book an appointment for biometrics yesterday, and I did this morning! I'm in Saskatchewan.
