True. The status update are not so reliable these days. I only intend to keep an eye on any kind of changes just to be sure of progress on application. The stages doesn't really put a correct picture, however any kind of update is goodYes that is a good idea. But a lot of immigrant attorneys, consultants and even in people in forums are now saying that the CIC update on your profile for IP1 or IP2 is not reliable anymore. Even biometrics are not updated real time. So to keep your anxiety on the low, it is suggested that you wait for actual correspondence from IRCC. The online update should not be treated as an accurate indicator.
