Hello guys,

I have received an email this morning that my PR application has been updated but when I logged in to see- there has been no changes. Does this happen often?

The current status is:

Application/profile status Open
Review of eligibility Review in Progress
Review of medical results Passed
Review of submitted documents No additional documents are needed at this time
Scheduling an interview Not needed at this time
A background check is needed Not needed at this time
Final decision Not Started

It is the same as before I received the notification.

Am I to be worried about this? Please advice. Thank you.

Cheers.

Thank you for your prompt reply @Linuxaway.

When you say 'somebody updated the file' - is it possible to know what sort of update?

what type of updates normally take place during this status?

Once again, I really appreciate the insight. Thank you.

Cheers.

Only around this forum is it called "ghost email" but that's really not the official IRCC term for it.

You can know the exact update by ordering GCMS notes.

Assuming you got your AOR in August, you may have gotten R10 OK or your security check has been initiated.

Thanks for the help here. Really appreciate it.

Yea- you know how it is. You try not to think about it but it eventually creeps into your mind. :)

Cheers.

Short code for the completeness check of your documents.
Thank you. Based on your experience- what usually comes next? They start check with employers etc?

Cheers.
