Why has Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) switched from business days to calendar days to communicate its service standards? ... Now, you do not need to account for public holidays or weekends when looking at service standards.
I'm pretty sure that this just means that when they tell you "processing takes 6 months on average", they mean actual 6 months and not in business days. It doesn't mean that there are people in CIC sitting in the building physically looking at your file on the weekend or holidays. This message is just for simplicity of counting days for applicants.
 
There shouldn't be a ghost update on the weekend. IRCC doesn't process over the weekend, and it's Easter weekend too, so shouldn't expect anything on Monday. Everything with bad gateway is a glitch, not an indication that the file was touched
Many applicant got letter, ppr request or copr on week end.

@legalfalcon I realized I made a mistake with the bank account after AOR. I withdrew too much money from the account that two of the months had a net position of Less than $CAD12,960. The money I withdrew were transferred to an investment account under my own name, but with a different bank. The money was kept as cash in the investment account.Would this cause a problem and should I raise my concern to an IRCC agent via the web form? I’m FSWO btw. Won’t overdraw again in the coming months leading to Copr

No need to inform. Just keep the transaction details and account statements and put the funds back in.

If you are asked for a revised PoF, then you can send the revised statements and explain with the transaction history and statements.

Any stream, any AOR. If you read different threads, you ll notice, many had updates or email on week end.

What's a reliable and trusted website to request gcms notes please. I'm outland

I have applied through getgcms.com and had excellent experience. Once my notes were delayed due to an extension, but twice, got them on time.

Also, getgcms seems to be the only website which is actually registered in Canada. This is whether their website reads:

GET GCMS is a registered entity under the Canada Business Corporations Act, 12864029 Canada Inc., Ontario Corporations Act, 1990 (corporation number 003285560), and the business name, "GET GCMS" is registered under the Ontario Business Names Act, 1990.

There are many other options, some way cheaper, but do your research well before you opt for any service.
 
Received a Ghost Update today, but there is no change in my profile. This is the first ghost update I have received for my application.

Below are my application details:
AOR: DEC 22, 2020 - FSW-O
MEP - Jan 25 2021
BIL -Jan 25 2021

I have applied for GCMS notes on 31st March 2021, not sure if this GU was because of the GCMS request.

I am also curious to know whether the cic profile shows "updated" when one orders GCMS notes since an officer needs to open and review the profile before releasing the notes.
Did anyone notice any updates a few days after applying for GCMS notes ?

It seems, you would have passed Criminality. You can call IRCC and update here as well
