In addition to the above, I got a ghost update today (Jan 31).ITA: Oct 26
AoR: Nov 12
Medicals passed: Nov 28
Biometrics linked: Dec 1
Called IRCC today and got the following info:
Criminality: passed
Eligibility: not started
VO: Ottawa
When I logged in, the "application status" column showed "application/profile updated". Specifically, the "additional documents" section changed from "we are reviewing..." to "not applicable". The "additional document" in question was the biometric fee payment receipt I'd uploaded on Nov 29. No change to eligibility, background, and final decision sections.
All my fingers and toes are crossed and my heart is about to explode.
