Yes, it is an outland application. My visa office is in Dakar (Senegal). I read that some people get passport request soon enough after pre arrival services but with background check not started, im a confused.

According to the IRCC website.. it means that the applicant has passed the eligibility and PR will be issued anytime soon (as soon as the background check is clear) https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/new-immigrants/new-life-canada/pre-arrival-services.html

Sometimes background check can take longer then eligibility check.. so you should be anticipating passport request very soon :) congratulations.

Got a ghost update on pr tracker today after 15 days of silence. Nothing changed and eligibility still in progress and BC not started yet. I wonder what these ghost updates mean?

Hope so!!! Can't even link my OWP yet!
Why is that so? go to the GC key account and get your application linked from there.
you'll be asked a few questions and there are different methods to register your account if one doesn't work go with another method. you have a chance to try 5 times with different methods to link your application.

Methods to register your account would be ... UCI & APP NO. / UCI & last name / UCI & PASSPORT# etc.
UCI & Passport# Or Last Name & Passort# usually works with some applicants

You'll most likely receive a medical request in a few days. It's not about being slow when it comes to the London office. Most of the VO's are slow including Missisuage, Mexico except a few like Ottawa etc.

I hope so been seeing the tracker (last updated date) changed but nothing so far.
