Not necessarily. After downtime it often means nothing, especially if a widespread occurrence. :(

If there's an interruption to the connection you'll see a GU too. You can recreate it yourself by clicking your application and reloading the account page before the application loads.

Received ghost update, no change in account though. Had the same a month ago where they changed my medical status from passed to does not need one.

Has anyone tried to contact their local visa office for answers? Were they helpful? Mine is London
I applied as CEC inland with AOR September 1st 2020, became outland as moved back to the UK in December 2020. Was invited to the confirmation portal in June by accident.

I messaged the LDN office back in July and i got this response:
Unfortunately, as the London office is not processing your application, we are unable to advise or to expedite its review.
Please submit your inquiry related to your application via our website’s case specific inquiry form, by selecting your program as the application type.
This will allow your enquiry to be triaged to the office in Canada responsible for your application, who are best placed to review your enquiry and to provide you with a timely response.

I sent a webform asking if my application could be moved to the london office back in July, got no response from IRCC. Sent another email to London office 10th september asking if they can now process my COPR, no response to date for it.

I dont see why they cant just send out a tweet saying we are processing the backlog of CEC Outland applicants from 2020-21, and give a rough timeframe. Waiting in limbo + lack of communication is not a ton of fun.

Agreed! I think that’s all we have ever asked for.

My COR is Argentina and I got the email from VO Mexico.
It specifies I have to send my passport to Mexico City within the next 30 days and if for some reason, I can not do it I have to inform Montreal. Not sure if that was my primary VO..
Never called IRCC and did not ask for notes.
