Ghost updates new Tracker

[Dixit patel]

I don't think nationalities are favoured over others... I think immigration has an easier task verifying information from certain countries vs others. This is just down to the fact that there is better cooperation between Canada and certain nations, information sharing is better, and so on... but at the end of the day each case is different...
Remember Canada is one of the most immigration friendly nations, even though the process is in some cases slow.

Agree 100%.

Guys, there's frustration all around. None of us will be here if life was cool... we'd be doing better things. The reality is we're all hurting and everyone is entitled to express that hurt any which way they choose. I stopped complaining out loud because my voice won't change anything. Millions have come before me and had to accept their fate being in the government's hand. I'm struggling; my health is affected by this process, there's way more on the line for my life and future that I'd rather not say. But I can't scream out here that I'm suffering more than anyone.
I believe in my core that this will all end soon. Let's share updates, motivate and help when we can... Without this forum, I'd probably be in a mental institution by now...

Anyways, I have a question: my ghost updates have slowed down lately. I went from getting them 4-5 times a week to 0-1 per week... Anyone remember what this pattern may mean? Did past applicants get good news right after a pattern change?

And I was lucky to speak with a very nice lady at IRCC this morning who said that NO ONE at IRCC knows what the ghost updates are: not sure who does them and why they are there...

Exactly! People have the right to express their feelings as they want and we shouldn’t judge! unfortunately the immigration process is hard everywhere and it takes a mental toll on many people.

I haven’t gotten a ghost update since Oct 5th. I’m praying it may be that the security could be over (I’ve read some forums that we see lots of ghost updates during security check since there’s several agencies checking your application) so fingers crossed!

Yeah, it would make sense. I really hope that they're also done with my security check. I also requested my GCMS notes last month but still no word. So, I'm just keeping my fingers crossed!

I’ve been waiting for the GCMS notes for about 45 days too actually but it seems like they also have a backlog there too. Please keep me updated when you get them!

Ghost updates are real... i have spoken to some stupid people at ircc so dont rely on their information. Some of them dont know what they are doing or saying. Btw guys i just received my PR Card last week.

Do NOT hold your breath for GCMS notes. I ordered mine on May 2. In late July I filed a complaint with the OIC so that I could get my notes. Last week the OIC finally assigned and investigator to see why I didn't receive my notes. Then, I got my notes in the mail (not email as requested). What did I get? a copy of my application. no notes. nothing. I raised this with the OIC and they told me I have to file another complaint as it is on a different subject. What a joke.

What? Oh my this is mindblowing! I don't understand how these people work. I got my fist set of notes on August, exactly 30 days after I ordered (in July) so I guess first come first served doesn't work with GCMS notes either lol

Yeah well, I wanted to hire a consultant who needed to see recent GCMS notes. So I also ordered another set in July and haven't received them. I also happen to know that my file is in security check with CBSA since July 2021 so I ordered CBSA notes in July as well. Still don't have those either. IRCC is a joke.

This is insane. I must confess I feel extremely lucky with the notes. I was a dumbass, and on my second note I accidentally uploaded an empty consent form. I emailed them after with the right version but I had no hope of them considering it whatsoever, but they emailed me back themselves saying they're processing the request with the new form. They seem to be making A LOT of mistakes though, with GCMS notes especially. Absolutely ridiculous

I'm wishing I could get a lucky break. I am thankful that my husband is in Canada with me though. We have to always remember to be thankful

Keeping my fingers crossed for you the process is very mentally draining

What is your timeline? In what stage are you?
Would you mind creating a signature block with your timeline like mine?

Mine have everything completed as you can see in my signature block. My last GU was on Oct 7.

I pray all of you get positive news soon, i come here once a while to see if anyone got any good news to share. I guess i can say i am one of the lucky ones. And once was one of you in pain, sad, upset and angry. But i have made it and so can you all... hugs xx
