We got ghost updates (new tracker "updated" date) July 18, 21, 22, and today the 26th. Anyone else seeing them this frequently? We are November 2021 online applicants.

In the new tracker our Eligibility and Background Check both still show "Not Started", although in GCKEY it says they are currently reviewing our eligibility, so not sure what to make of all this.

Yes mine. Tracker updated on July 5, 11, 19, 20, 21, 22 and today 26 too. I wouldn't read much into these updates. My Eligibility didn't start on tracker.

I'd like a few more datapoints before we call these updates meaningless. If EVERYONE is getting updates on the same or similar dates then fine, but if it's just a handful of us, maybe they actually are working on our files.

I'd add to my earlier post. I actually ordered GCMS notes and if these tracker updates meant a agent working on the file then the same should have been captured on GCMS notes. Forget about agent notes, even the dates when tracker was updated were not captured on GCMS notes.

I am Dec 2021 applicant. My tracker has got few ghost updates as well and Eligibility and BC still not started in PR tracker. GC Key has both Eligibility and BC in progress. Not sure what these ghost updates are for. I got 7 ghost updates since June 30, but no change.

Nov 30, 2021 here.
So basically you are saying that this updates are not visible in the notes?
Personally, I received extra updates when I ordered notes or when I contacted the MP office. Smb. else experienced the same?
How long did it took for you to receive GCMS notes after requesting them?

You will see the updates on GCMS notes when you call IRCC, Order GCMS notes or when your MP contacts IRCC about your application. This is normal and that is what I mentioned. The material updates like Medical pass, Biometrics received on tracker were captured on notes, but my notes did not capture the updated dates of tracker with no material updates(which people are calling it as ghost updates). So this makes me wonder what these tracker updates really are?

So another one today: July 5, 11, 19, 20, 21, 22, 26 and 27.

And these stupid updates are across the board, almost all VOs are getting these frequent updates. Now don't tell me lightening struck every agent around the globe and they started working :p

Great. But my VO is Ottawa and yours's is probably Warsaw. And many from Delhi too are getting the same day updates. Really don't know what this mean.
