That might just be a system update they do around this time. I have seen many times when I get 502 gateway error I see my status as updated but not sure if there is anything conclusive in all of this.
I agree. It seems like the whole "ghost updates" thing might have been blown out of proportion because it seems more plausible that it is something to do with the server.
 
Ghosts updates happened in our accounts just before updates or correspondence arrive. In general, in my own experience, it was a good thing. We receive ghost updates a couple of days before letters or minutes before updates on the account. Good luck fellas.

How do we know we have had a “ghost update” if we don’t get an email notification that something has happened? Is everyone just sitting on gckey portal and hitting refresh?

I get an update around 9 am and yes I pretty much sit on the portal all day to hit that refresh and sign in button. It's extremely frustrating. I have received 5 or 6 updates. One running right now

Same here, the question is: are they working in weekends? Also, it s 3AM in Canada, it looks impossible, or maybe local visa officers are working on applications?

it’s happening with me too. Almost every Sunday after 12 am ( Canadian time ),I am not able to see my full application details, and after a few hours, I see ‘’profile updated’’. So I don’t think it’s a ghost update or someone is working on the application. I think it’s just a weekly maintenance to the system.

Exactly. This is most probably a glitch. Happens every Sunday as I have observed as well.
