Aor June 25th. Cec Inland with a spouse and 2 children (but my children were born here so they are citizens and doesnt count). My spouse was a student and I was on an OWP. I worked at RBC as a banking advisor so the noc code used was noc 6235. Using this job was a testimony because some people I spoke to classified my job as a customer service role. I Never got any ghost update(except yesterday). I was also bio exempt and I never got a refund for Biometrics, I also called DEC 17th and had no update as my Eligibility was still at recommended pass, security: in progress- Criminality: not started(all these kind of got me worried ). Well yesterday at 4am, I signed into my cic account and saw "application/profile updated). When I clicked on it, I saw nothing so I figured this might be a ghost update. I made up my mind to call them come 8am in the morning.. At 8am, I spoke to an agent who told me that all stages have been passed and I have to wait for an officer to make a final decision. So I figured I might have to wait another month or so. Well at 11:48 same day I got an email saying that I have a mail in my cic account. I Immediately tried signing in but it didnt let me in so I called cic. Luckily, I was put through to an agent who said "congratulations your PR that has been approved. I was so happy. I literally spoke to someone earlier who something completely different. After that call, I tried signing in again and lo and behold, there was my COPR DOCUMENT.
I was Finally approved. So happy and thankful to God
This is my take: do not think any one's situation will be the same as yours. In my case I was waiting for 3 ghost update and got none. I also kept checking to see a bio refund on credit card and it didn't happen.
Dont be like me and get yourself worried. Your case might just be special and peculiar. Just be patient. It will come Wish everyone waiting favor.
