I just called to see if a document I sent by CSE had been attached to my case. She says it was sent straight to the Ottawa office. I feel like this is more evidence that Ottawa is our office.
That's good news! When did you submit your CSE?

For US residents, why is it that some of them have Ottawa and others New York as their visa office? Anybody have an idea ?

Congratulations! I got a "ghost update" on July 20 as well, and my dates for Meds passed and IP1/2 are exactly the same as yours... no PPR yet though.

July 7th. Apparently when documents are sent to and handled directly by Ottawa they don't send the confirmation email to let you know the document has been received and attached.

I had a ghost update two or three days before ppr. I believe that was true ip2 day for me. The one before was triggered by sending email to Ottawa office. Something triggers it when one emails. I for sure know the one that I had on July 6 was not true ip2 because when I called on July 13, the agent told me that my eligibility was still pending. In the true ip2 that people are talking about, everything would be done when status changes to background in progress.

Thanks for the info! I hope the ghost update is indeed a true IP2 for me... but I was thinking it might have been from my CSE, I sent a document on July 13-- I hope that doesn't delay my application.
