After AIP yesterday, checked ECAS this morning and it has Decision Made for both sponsor and PR app! GCKey hasn't updated yet.

Congrats!
I got DM on both sides last Thursday and am just waiting for the landing interview letter (Montreal). The GCkey won't update until you land and get your PR (from what others have said). It just depends where you live as to when you'll get the landing letter as some offices are busier than others, but hopefully it's not too long for either of us :)

Congrats to you too! Good to know about GCKey, my plan was to mainly wait for the landing interview letter, since GCKey says they're still reviewing whether I meet the eligibility requirements even after saying I passed them. :p
We're in Guelph, so I'm not entirely sure what office we'd get (just hoping for something closer than Toronto), but I'm happy as long as it happens soon! I hope your letter arrives soon, too. :)

Yeah my GCKey still says it's processing too and I had AIP at the beginning of August! It's very confusing of them.
I honestly don't know where they will get you to land unfortunately! You might get lucky and have one closer to you (given the volume of people who would have to otherwise go through Toronto if that was the only one). I'm starting to get annoyed though they haven't emailed me anything further yet, it's been over a week with nothing. I thought the waiting game was over once I had DM, apparently not!

I just got an email congratulating me and saying Kitchener IRCC would contact me with an interview date!! Of course my husband and I decide to join my parents on a vacation to Michigan (where I'm from) and everything happens then.
I hope the best for anyone still waiting!!

I'm not the person you asked, but I also had to submit additional proof. Did they tell you where to upload it? In my letter, there was a section in bold that said

"Please send the requested information / document(s) and all future inquiries with respect to
your application via the Case Specific Enquiry form at the following link:
https://secure.cic.gc.ca/enquiries-renseignements/canada-case-cas-eng.aspx"

When I sent in the proof, a lot of my files were pretty big, so I just used a website that compressed them. If you google "PDF compressor" a few sites will pop up that you can use. I still had a lot of files, so I just ended up filling out and sending three Case Specific Enquiry forms.

I also had to upload a replacement of our marriage certificate via GCKey and had to use the PDF compressor for that, too. I would say that after compressing it, just open it back up to check the file and make sure it's not too blurry/fuzzy, it might take a little tweaking or trying a couple websites.
