Bad news: since I've received the DM email last week, they canceled my SOWP application, because 'why would you need it if you got approved for PR? // CIC'. I would need it because I expected to receive my SOWP in May, and they said I will have my PR interview in June. I have a job offer with starting date on May 6th, not sure what to do now... Since I'm also a student in my last semester, I could apply for the Post Graduate Work Permit and work while it's processing, but since CIC made a mistake and removed the 'Can work off campus' condition during study permit extension, I cannot do it anymore... I sent it for an amendment to add the 'Can work off campus' condition but got refused today. Called CIC - they have no idea why because I meet all requirements... They sent it for re-evaluation. PR approval was wonderful news, but now I'm about to lose a job opportunity due to the random actions of some people...

i havent got SA .. is this normal?
We got "decision made" showing up on ECAS on April 11, but it took a week for me to get SA and my partner to get the actual DM letter. AIP came a few days (or a day? Can't remember now) before DM showed up on ECAS. At least for us, it was a bit of a drawn-out process.

Hi Everyone,

After seeing DM on both Sponsor and PA side on ECAS yesterday, today I gave a call to the IRCC and asked the agent what the decision was, since I didn't see it written anywhere. The agent checked and told me that I got Sponsorship Approval (SA) but couldn't give me details of the PA's status due to a required information release form. I am assuming PA's approved too, since she had just got AIP 2 days ago. Fingers crossed! Looking forward to receiving the DM letter!

Good luck everyone, keep faith and best wishes to you!

Hi all,

My GCKey switched from “you may not hear from us for a while...” to “make sure to watch out for requests, etc” today. I had a ghost update on April 11th. Not sure how meaningful this is, but I’m just glad to see any change!

Has anyone experienced any progress around this change? Fingers crossed...

that means you reached 6 months mark since you submitted your app...

and ghost update possibly means your security check is being done...

Hi Jessica, it took us around 2 weeks to get AIP and DMs right after the Ghost Update, so fingers crossed for you, you should hopefully be getting good news shortly :)
