I received ghost email on Saturday 3rd Oct at 7PM. I haven't seen any changes in my ECAS yet. Are you aware of anyone with similar issues where a ghost email is received in final stages of application and no update has been made?. Is it heading for a refusal? I think everyone with similar timeline has DM on their ECAS and some of them even received PPR

Actually, that exact thing happened earlier this week with an open work permit renewal application I submitted before I got PR. It just means someone opened the file. In my case, I hope they are getting ready to send me a refund! :D

Yep, exact same as you - ghost email on Oct 3, 6PM - no update or DM to ECAS. I have been checking religiously and also checking this forum. I haven't seen anyone get DM since Oct 3... Please, don't let it be a bad sign. Can you let me know if you get DM - thanks!

think everyone got a ghost email last weekend, they were doing system upgrades so it might have just triggered for everyone. I got it at 10pm on sat, doubt there were people working in CIC on applications at 10pm on a saturday night

I received PPR last night. No Ghost emails -- no updates in ECAS or MY CIC --- just email asking me to send passports

I think when we received our "Ghost" emails around Oct 3rd, a decision was made but ECAS wasn't updated--- This explains the timeline in getting our PPR's
