What is this survey email? Can you please share it.

Thanks.

Email Content is as below :

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) is asking you about your settlement and labour market experiences in your first years in Canada, as an immigrant who was admitted as a permanent resident between January 1, 2015, and December 31, 2018.
This survey should take you about 20 minutes to complete.
Your participation in this survey is strictly voluntary and your answers will remain confidential and will not affect your immigration status or pending decisions on any other applications you may have with IRCC presently or in the future.

The above is again reprised in French and survey link is a voxco link.

Well to be honest I don't know if the survey email has got any connection to PR Card processing !

Its just a survey email about whole express entry process. Nothing special about it.

You can log in your CIC account, and use "add (link) your application to your account" tool in the page to link your pr card application. select “Permanent Resident Card” as the category. (not the “Permanent Resident”).
If you don't know the application number, you can select “Family Name, Given Name and DOB” for the first dropdown of “Application Detail” to link it.
good luck!

This is great. I was not knowing this. Thanks alot. Well after linking current status of PR Card shows 'Submitted' .

Hi all, the below is my time line and I have just checked my PR card status and it seems that my family has just received the ghost update, and I hope that the photos re-submitted are ok and hear the good news soon (approved sign in the CIC account, as I saw somewhere in the forum that even if you get a ghost update, you can still be re-requested for photo again..I hope this doesn't happen.

My question is how long will it take for the status (submitted ) to approved in the CIC account usually after the ghost update?
thank you!

Soft landing: Oct 19
Photo request: Early Dec
Photo submitted/reached CIC office on : Dec 19, 2018
Ghost update: Feb 5th 2019 (today)

2-3 days after ghost update
and 99% people get approval after ghost update so don’t worry

Hello! i have one question. If cic needs new photo for pr card, they will send email to my personal email or my lawyer’s email?

whichever email you have with gckey

 

[Sid6767]

i am sorry that is simple question, what dose ghost update mean ?Will it be seen in GCKEY account? if so could you please give instructions where i could find it.

you need to link your pr card application to GCKEY then once your file status will change from submitted to updated and once u check it will be back to submitted its call ghost update

Hello! i have one question. If cic needs new photo for pr card, they will send email to my personal email or my lawyer’s email?

Hello,
Sadly, There is no definite answer to this.
Some folks receive an email notification while some receive it through their mailbox. And in some other cases, they receive none of those notification but got to know there is a photo request over the conversation with CIC agent. In my case, I did not receive any notification at all (I also contacted to my immigration consultant to ask if they received any notification on their side and they said nothing) and when I called to check the status after 2 months of waiting since my landing, I Was told by the agent that there was a photo request. Hence I recommend you to call and check if there is any missing information on your file when the processing time of your file goes beyond the regular processing time notified in CIC website.

I linked my application to cic account today. It says submitted but when I open it , it says decision has been made and application was approved. Does approved usually means card is dispatched?
