****October 2018**** INLAND SPOUSE SPONSORSHIP

[NHLNFL]

Hello! I’m new here
I just got a ghost update on gckey. Before open the app, there was written “Application/profile updated” instead of “Submitted”, but nothing changed inside. Does anybody know what it could be?
I didn’t get any email and Ecas is still the same.
Here it’s my timeline:

App received: October 3rd
AOR: October 25th
CSQ request: October 31st
CSQ app sent: October 6
CSQ approved: November 28
Restoration + OWP sent: December 8
Medical request: December 12
Medical done: December 27
Medical passed: January 7
Background check started: January 16
Restoration + OWP approved: March 13

Sorry I stumbled across your post. I had status restored while my PR +OWP app were already submitted. I hope I have a similar timeline as you.

Do you remember what your estimated processing time for OWP would have been, 4 months?

I copied this from sep group taught people might be interested:

At the interview, you are going to get a CoPR (Confirmation of Permanent Residence - a piece of paper with a bunch of bar codes). After getting it, you are looking at about another 45 days + delivery time until you receive your physical PR card in the mail. While you are waiting, you can use it to get your permanent SIN (Social Insurance Number) at your nearest Service Canada Centre.

Also DM means Decision Made; however, there are 3 different types of DMs:

• 1st one will show up on the status of your Sponsor's eCAS (change from "In Process" to "Decision Made"), which transitions into SA (Sponsor Approval), and when your Sponsor gets an approval, he or she will be receiving an email confirming his or her eligibility to sponsor you to become a PR.
• 2nd DM will be for yourself (the Principal Applicant). It is a status update from "In Process" to "Decision Made" on the PA's side on eCAS, which will transition into AIP (Approved in Principle), and when you get Approved in Principle, you will be receiving an email confirming that you have been determined to be eligible for a permanent residency in Canada.
• 3rd DM will be an email confirming that your application for your Permanent Residency has been successfully completed and tells you to wait for a further instruction from your nearest CIC/IRCC office for your Landing Interview, which you already have.

Since I explained about the different types of DMs already, I might as well cover the other transitional updates LOL:

• "Ghost" update: The very first update that applicants notice when they randomly (but frequently) check their MyCIC/GCKey account after weeks/months of silence from CIC/IRCC. It will say "Application/profile updated" but when you check, there won't be anything new and it changes back to "Submitted" when you go back to the main status page. It basically means that someone accessed your application and reviewing it, and you will be getting progressive updates very soon. Some applicants had further updates on the same day of getting a "ghost" update but some had to wait 3 weeks.
• Status change on MyCIC/GCKey from "Your application in progress" to "We are reviewing your eligibility". Most applicants get it right after getting a "ghost" update. It means exactly what it is - someone is reviewing your eligibility and soon you will get a DM.
• A 2nd new line added on eCAS on the PA's side informing that CIC/IRCC started processing the PA's application. It will say "We started processing PA's application on date". This will transition later into a DM on eCAS on the PA's side.

Glad to see one of my posts are getting shared around and being helpful!

Update...

Today we got a request letter.

They wanted a proof of cohabitation, even though we already sent them the rent contract and joint bank account statements with the application. What else should we send them this time? ... i know people would say send them pics but believe me after 10 years of marriage you dont take pics as much as before

They also asked for travel history of the sponsor “husband” and and tax returns for 2017 and 2018 even though we were living overseas in 2017 and arrived to canada late 2018, august to be exact.

They also asked for employment history of husband, wonder if they want his history overseas or just since arriving to canada, he is still looking for a job but has many emails proving that he applied for jobs, what should we do in this case?
