HI All,

This is my timeline. I am Inland CEC, AOR June 23 2018 - yes i know it’s been a while but I’ve been in Canada long enough to know how slow the government is.

UK passport, currently on PGWP after finishing Uni in BC. Processing Centre is Ottawa CPC.

Ghost Update 1 in July 2018 - Got an Email - IP1/MEP

Ghost Update 2 in August 2018 - Got an Email - IP2

ADR in August for Police Certificate from Home Country and Additional Educational Documents

Been in IP2 Since August 2018

Finally ordered GCMS last month and my file had been sitting untouched since August awaiting officer review, and I kind of forgot about it and went on with my life.

I logged back in June 8 and saw that I had the Application “Updated” Ghost Update, but I did not get an email this time.

Im not sure when the update happened because I do not log in frequently. My Medical went from Medical Passed to We do not need a medical test, but my medical results do not expire until June 20.

Is this the good Ghost Update sign that people on the forum are talking about? Or should I expect more waiting?

Planning on getting some insight before wasting an hour of my life on hold with CIC. Its been too long.


Thanks in Advance

So I see two potential aspects over here for the ghost update.
1- check your medical, what is the status? The ghost update might be for the extension or expiry of your medical.
2- your criminality and/or security may be passed.

Call CIC and ask them directly. Good luck :)

MEP passed almost a year ago. It used to say "you Passed your medical test". The layout is now different.

Currently it says:
  • You do not need a medical exam. We will send you a message if this changes.
If its criminality/security, is that the last step?

I will call them first thing in the morning. Thank you and fingers crossed.

so the ghost update was for your medical expire status.. you do not need a medical exam means it is expired. you might get requested for re meds..
criminality is in between step, security passed is one of the last.

You were right!

Everything (eligibility, BGC, criminality) else for PR is cleared, and the officer is awaiting approval from Medical Canada to see if they can use my current medical results and approve of my application. My Medical expires June 20.

Since I have to take one for my extension work permit anyway, its money I have to spend, but I guess for good news...

Thank you for your help

Alright .. when you get medical passed please let me know. They are deciding whether to extend or ask for re med for me. For your work permit if you are doing border run you don't need medical test I guess. Coz one of my friend recently did work permit extension and he did give medical.

I need a new medical exam anyway for my extension work permit, regardless of when I get my PPR.

It's up to the Medical Canada decide wether or not to extend your current (i assume passed) results. My lawyer told me it usually depends on where you are from, currently live, and your age, amongst other external factors.

My original medical for PR was passed since august 2018, right now they're just deciding wether to extend or not to issue PPR. If they don't I will already have a new valid medical test to present to them.

hey there! Congratulations :) now just wait for PPR.
Also, you do not need a medical exam for work permit extension. Do not waste your precious money for now and wait till they ask you for re meds or maybe they will extend your meds. Good luck :)
