Hello,

I got a ghost update yesterday in my gckey. It's my husband's account though. Today I received an Invitation to pre-arrival services. What does that mean? Can anyone please explain?

Getting Pre arrival services letter is a very good indicator that your application is a moving forward and eligibility is good. However, you still have to wait to get the application approved.

is this what you call AIP - approved in principle - in the google sheet? I received mine today too! God is good all the time! Good day!

No, AIP is different from Pre Arrival Services. AIP indicates that the principal applicant has passed the eligibility requirements.
Normally here's the process for most applications, however I've seen a lot of applications recently not follow that order. For example, I got SA after portal invite and never got AIP or Pre arrival services.

Pre Arrival Letter
SA (Sponsor Approval)
AIP (Approved in Principle)
If approved, you'd get a letter with portal invite otherwise a letter stating refusing.

Stay tuned for the portal invite and ecopr update
 
Hello guys. I have received this email this morning.
This email is to notify you that your permanent residence application status has been updated on your IRCC Permanent Residence portal account.
To view your permanent residence application status, log into your IRCC Permanent Residence Portal account with your current log-in credentials.

I have tried to login on the portal but there's no update.
I'm unable to sign up for the new tracker and ecas. However for the new tracker i've been able to sign up by my husband's info.

How come there's no update when i've sign in?
