    They won't acknowledge it by emailing you. When I sent the additional documents, the day after GCKey account said: "We are reviewing the additional documents you provided."

    Hi, no we haven't done that yet. But by trying to search for information, I've found that the prepaid self-addressed envelope from Fedex can be a tricky thing. This is the thread that seems to have some information. With fedex: 1) it seems like you have to open a fedex account (also means...

    In GCKey / IRCC my account using sign-in partner, or whatever, if the application status says Updated, yet no obvious or visible changes since last view, then it's commonly known as a "ghost" update. Update without an actual visible change.

    it looks like mine was CPCM as well but neither I nor my husband (PA) got notification email saying it got moved to the visa office. I surmised that from the additional document request letter that I got which instructed us to send it to CPCM and the letter was signed by a Visa Officer at CPCM.

    My (sponsor's) ECAS and PA's ECAS are identical. Except PA's ECAS status updates are more directed to him. PA's: We received your application for permanent residence on August 7, 2019. We started processing your application on November 14, 2019. We sent you a letter on October 20, 2019. Please...

    Decision Made on ECAS.... I am also freaking out. Edit: Husband got passport request / PPR in email. I see the light at the end of the tunnel. Good luck everyone.

    How long does it take for them to provide you the GCMS notes?

    ECAS and GC key / Sign-in Partner provide different info. You don't substitute one for the other, so yes you should use both to check what's going on with your application. You don't have to open a new account or anything with ECAS. There's no registration required. You just enter some pieces...

    Definitely do what pardis.tabar said, with taking screenshots and whoever the applicant is, to contact IRCC with technical issues: I'm sure you have also checked out the posts explaining how to link your account? There's this particular one that helped me a lot. Here the user explains how they...

    GC key is government of Canada key or account with the cic website that you open with a user name and password. Think of it like other websites (e.g. Quora) where you are allowed to open your own account or use a "sign in partner" (google account). You use a sign in partner but using a gc key...

    Thanks for posting this. Even though I am hoping for the best, I am prepared now that this can happen. So here goes for another grain of salt update/post for those waiting on transfer to VO: I got request for additional documents from IRCC (found in my GCKEY account) today. My husband did...

    Hi. I don't think you'll receive an email for passing your medicals because in your online account (if you've linked your application), it doesn't send you a new message if you passed. Just that details change to something like: * (whatever date here) You passed the medical exam. Speaking of...

    "They (IRCC) should get the report in 5-6 days if everything looks good" Doctor said they sent it around Thursday, so I guess it took IRCC 2 days to review? Because GCKEY says passed. And I did not get any email yet :( but thank you. I will keep checking.

    GC key updated to show: Review of medical results * November 4, 2019 You passed the medical exam. (Exam was actually taken on Oct 28th, but the doctor did say it will take 5-6 days for IRCC to receive results if it's good) ECAS shows: Permanent Residence * We received PRINCIPAL APPLICANT's...

    There could be so many factors as to why some applications take longer than others, even though IRCC says applications are processed in the order that they're received, unless we have insider insight as to what's going on at the IRCC offices, we can only speculate. Reasons which seem silly but...

    The biometrics instruction letter that we got indicates that the letter is proof that we paid the fee. So while it's good that IRCC acknowledged payment, until you get the specific instructions letter it's best to hold off on it. You also need to make an appointment in most places.
