Hi Guys,
I am a sponsor for PG 2021 program and just joined this forum today. Been reading through the messages and have some question.
I am a bit confused with the various terms I have seen in the forum messages such as
Ghost email / IRCC / GC Linked /
ECAS etc and will appreciate any guidance as I am a bit confused why there are so many different sites and which one to really use to know latest application status.
Here is my status:
PGP-2021
Sept 27, 2021 - Received initial letter advising I am shortlisted for 2021 program
Nov 27, 2021 Submitted (PR Portal -

Feb 17, 2021 Ghost email : PR Portal (PR application) - Your application status has been updated. However when I logged into the portal, I didnt see any change other than application submitted.
Mar 25, 2022 - Received letter confirming that your Application to Sponsor a Member of the Family Class was received by (IRCC) at the Case Processing Centre in Mississauga. Also it had a
strange note in it -
Please note that the following documentation will be required for your sponsorship application to determine whether you meet the minimum necessary income requirements to sponsor a parent or grandparent. In order to minimize processing delays, if not already included in your application, please obtain and submit as soon as possible:
A completed and signed authorization form – IMM 5768 - Financial Evaluation for Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship providing your Social Insurance Number.
Questions
This is strange since I had submitted IMM 5768 when I submitted the application on Nov 27. Not sure what to do now :-(
IRCC Acc Linked - I created an IRCC account on my own today and also created a GCKey today but unable to link my mother's sponsorship application as the search isn't able to retrieve it. Do I need to wait for it to be automatically link it OR wait for some more time before I can link it Or maybe I am not searching correctly ?
IRCC / GC Key - What is the benefit to linking my mother's application to my IRCC account? Show case status / updates real time ?
ECAS (
https://services3.cic.gc.ca/ecas/security.do) - Does this provide any different results of an application in progress than viewing it by linking application to IRCC account . Anyway ECAS also didn't retrieve application status results.
As I saw significant updates on forum messages with IRCC / ECAS / GC Linked etc, wondering if these are system driven & I should just wait for these updates to happen as my sponsorship application progresses ?
Thanks for your help,
Don
