small update from me, trying to be hopeful and positive but every step forward just seems to open up new ambiguity/frustration...
I called IRCC today because I saw a ghost update on my account 2 days ago. I know lots of people have been getting mass GUs for system glitches etc but I never got one when large groups got them so I figured this one might actually be meaningful.
I gave biometrics on october 15th, and agent told me today that the ghost update was finally my criminality being passed - that's the good news!
So my status is now eligibility/criminality/security = passed. this is such a relief as eligibility/Security were passed in july and my application hasn't been touched since then, until two days ago.
I asked if it's now been routed to a medical officer, and if there's any new notes on the file at all. My medical assessment is still at in-progress, with GCMS notes indicating does not pass, which I knew because I said yes to the "do you have a serious condition" question and so this is an automatic outcome which generally triggers PFL by medical officer. But you may recall from my other posts that the officer who passed my eligibility manually wrote in the notes "Medical : Passed" so I've been waiting to understand which of these two status is the reality.
Last call center agent a month ago said "next time someone picks up your file for criminality they will have to clarify that and then you'll either have the file sent to medical officer for PFL or it'll progress to approval". When i found out today criminality was passed, I got hopeful and asked about this.
Was told that there are no notes, agents don't have visibility as to the officer type it is assigned to next (med/regular) and don't know what will happen next. But said that usually when they're going to ask for more tests or anything, it is written in notes.
So I guess now even more waiting...
