Finally got the PPR almost 2 weeks after everything got completed in the tracker. Better late than never, surely. Hope everyone else who's waiting gets their applications processed quickly. Cheers!
Congratulations! Finally!

I mean the official application status tracker, I'm interested to know what's your status on BG and eligibility.
https://ircc-tracker-suivi.apps.cic.gc.ca/

Thanks!
Ok thanks for clarifying. Eligibility- (In Progress) We’re making sure that you meet the requirements to be eligible for the spouse, partner or child class.
Background - (In Progress) We’re checking your background to make sure you are admissible to Canada.
Both Biometrics and Medical Exam are Completed.

Consider providing proof of relationship of your sibling too. They have specifically asked for it :)
Done this, thanks a lot for pointing it out. I submitted the document yesterday. Hopefully they will accept it. Do they send a notification if they review or accept the document sent through ADR?

I think there's very little chance of them not accepting anything in your case. ADRs are only complicated if things are unclear on both sides. You have a proof of relationship and they should be happy with it.

Your tracker and GCKey both are going to reflect the ADR status. Tracker is going to lag with ADR or show little to no progress, but GCKey should show a clearer picture.

That's a Ghost update. Read the common lingo used here: https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/application-stages-what-they-mean-mep-ip1-ip2-ghost-update-version-2019.612656/post-7602441

Fwiw, immigration lawyers and prominent forum members don't follow those: https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/thank-you-legalfalcon.408185/page-347#post-6636032

There are only a handful of these movements that are ever attributed to anything meaningful (e.g. https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/gcms-shows-security-screening-and-waiting-lets-gather-here.498854/post-10443831).

Nope neither, he has never been to Canada. I claimed eligibility points for my Uncle who’s a Canadian Citizen and had provided relevant documents for the same.
If you claimed the 15 express entry points for any person other than your immediate family, those points will not be awarded to you. You can only claim points if any one of your (step) brother, sister, father or mother is a permanent resident or national of Canada. Claiming points for paternal or maternal relatives invalidates your claim to those points.

That's correct. Don't know how I missed it too. Thanks for pointing it out.
