With the OWP app, but wasn't necessary. Keep that $85 in your pocket ^^

Sounds like you're almost done! Don't worry about the status on GC Key. It gets updated as soon as you're a PR.

Nope no biometrics needed at all :D

It wasn't required :)

They sent it to my address in the Netherlands. I'm not sure how they do it when you live outside NL but I assume they will send it to your address in Canada.

It took 2 weeks for me but that was in the Netherlands. Maybe you can call Justis and tell them you need it asap for immigration purposes. If that doesnt work just contact IRCC and tell them you applied but couldn't get it in time. I read that it's never really a problem. No worries.

Why do they have to make it so complicated... *sigh*. And great you have a job! Hopefully the time will fly by now you don't have to stare at the walls to kill time.

Thanks!! I sent my police certificate beforehand and wasn't asked for any additional info so that could definitely play a role. Hopefully yours is done soon! Keep an eye on GCKEY because ghost updates mean they're working on it :D

:D:D:D "We are pleased to advise you that processing of your application has been completed. The Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada office in Edmonton IRCC will contact you to arrange an appointment for the finalization of your permanent resident...

It's a ghost update when it says profile updated and nothing changed.

I had a ghost update yesterday. Nothing changed :( Jan 30 applicant

Thank you so much :D

I remember trying to call them at different times during the day and did get through eventually but it always said 28 min wait time. Around 10 am and 1pm and it was like 50/50 chance. Maybe try to call when they just open in the early morning and keep in mind there might be a time difference.

Don't give up indeed! Everything will be fine in the end :D And awesome that you're also volunteering!
