And also the major problem I’m having with linking my application to a gckey is that my account was opened by my agent and I can’t really reach him now to get the login details from him so I really just have to rely on the response I get from VFS only for nowThat's an email from VFS and not IRCC. You will get no updates from VFS on your application until your passport is on its way back to the application centre.
Link your application to a gckey account to see actual status.
