For all those who got ghost updates, congrats! A little win for us! What if we have the same officer looking thru our files.
I guess trick or treating came early to our files!
I hope we have some treats after a long wait :)
I dont understand how IRCC works. Isn't 8 am too early to be checking the files? Or they updated it yesterday and the tracker gets updated automatically in the mornings?

Hello Folks


A bit of history here.

1st Round:

Type: Online
Family: Spouse and minor child
Date of Submission: Aug 14 2023
Returned on: Sep 19, 2023

Reason: Minor child ID documents were not in order. (ID1: PR card, ID2: Passport ) They had asked us to re-order and submit.


2nd Round:
Date of Submission: Sep 19 2023
Returned on: Oct 26, 2023

Reason: So damn confusing. Its below


>>>>>>>>>>>
Travel doc or passport
You uploaded a document(s) with another person’s private information.
To fix this issue


  • upload a document (such as a text file) to explain why you included this person’s information, or
  • if possible, re-upload a new file without another person’s private information

  1. >>>>>>>>>>>>
    This is from the Travel documents or passports section.

  1. I have uploaded only the front ( Name, photo...) and back pages ( Parents details, Address ... )
  2. I have triple checked and even the online portal says I uploaded the correct passport to my spouse and child. ( Filename, view the document in the portal )
  3. Myself and my minor have only one unexpired passport and we uploaded only that document respectively. DId not mix multiple docs in one pdf.

What is this all about? What am I missing?

I called IRCC and they are asking to raise webform and submit the same document with explanation letter. I am lost. Any thoughts please?
when you create an online file it should be individual file upload for each person.
In your passport file when uploading did you group and scan the files all together in one file? including other person’s passport?

There seems to be a trend of people having their tests updated to "complete" in their tracker a few days after they take it...
My tracker still shows "waiting on you" for both Test and Fingerprints - I submitted my prints to RCMP 21 days ago. I took the test 10 days ago.
Anyone in the same boat?
I know Vancouver office seems to be a bit slower than others...
My test was completed after 2-3 days of taking exam. Yes ever since oct 6 updates to complete testing and finger prints submitted in rcmp last oct 5. My file was dormant state.
Today Oct 27 got a ghost update. I live in BC and i am assuming my file is also in vancouver office.

I've got a GU this morning as well. I don't mean to be pessimistic but given that everyone's got it, it seems to be just a system update or something.

I took the test almost a month ago and had no updates since then. My husband applied 1 day after I did and he took the oath a couple of days ago, and even his process' got a GU today :( it doesn't really seem to be any progress, just a system thing...

Got a ghost update today morning, but still waiting for the oath invite.
Same situation today. GU this morning. Maybe it is something working behind the scene. Hoping for good news.

But nothing changes with the GU. Lets wait and see.
