You are still under average processing time mentioned. MPs won't take this case.
Thank you! No, I didn't do anything as I have no travel plans any time soon.
Super Lucky !!!,
People with travel plans and tickets booked are eagerly waiting, but unfortunately nothing can be done.
Yeah, I've read a lot of stories like this here. Very unfortunate. Seems like IRCC knows exactly who needs to travel and puts their cases away (joking)
I actually thought of requesting MP anyways. But yeah, right no point. They might not even get back to me. I am only hurrying cause of travel dates. Hoping it works out for me

Landing time works in their own way and MP inquiries are a waste of everyone's time
GU stands for Ghost Update (your account gets updated but you don't receive an email notification neither you see any changes done to your application). After you received your eCOPR and linked your application to GC Key you normally should be expecting two GUs.
First one probably indicates that the work on your PR card has begun, the second GU (normally comes about 5-10 business days after GU1) shows that your application was approved and the PR card was mailed your way. (Timelines I've mentioned might be different case by case)

Thank you very much for the explanation. I have one small doubt. In the PR Portal, my address got approved today, but the photo is still under review. Is this normal to get the approvals separately for the address and photo or because of any issue with the photo?
I got a notification that my PR card was mailed to me today. The application is approved and closed. However, my PR portal (just checked) still shows that my address and photo are both under review with IRCC. I'm not 100% sure if there is a good communication between GCKey and PR portal
Please help, I think my file is stuck or what. What can I do? It is been more than 2 weeks since the GU1 update.
- eCoPR: July 26
- PR portal: Address: "approved" | Photo: "in review"
- GU1: Final decision - September 28, 2023: Your application is in progress. We will send you a message once the final decision has been made.
Interesting that you are saying we wont get email for ghost update, which makes sense that is why it is GU. so how do I check whether or not have GUs?
