Thanks a ton, @legalfalcon. What's your opinion about the Ghost update I got today?

Ghost update is a progress in the background. It can be a mundane one or a major one where you have passed a stage. No one can be sure unless you cross check the date with the activities in your GCMS notes.

In the end any progress is a good news.

Hi. My profile progress bar disappeared yesterday and today I got a ghost update. Did anyone else also recieve any such ghost update? @legalfalcon & @caipsnotes could you share what this could signify? Is it just some technical glitch?

I got the ghost update last night. Called IRCC this morning and they said there are no changes. Hoping that there is progress in the background.

Many people have reported that the progress bar disappeared, its something that happened last year this time too. Doesn't carry any significance.

One can read all about the progress bar here https://bit.ly/3lUaSgV

Thank you. And I'll quote from that page in bold.
"The progress bar just shows the time elapsed from the day an application is submitted. It does not inform what stage or how far an application has been processed."

I applied for GCMS notes on 15 Dec through GET GCMS, and got an email yesterday for 90 days extension for GCMS.
1) Is this normal? Is my application all right?
2) Will it delay my application or have any negative effect on it?
3) Do you know anyone who got the extension on GCMS and still got the PPR in time.

Please help guys.
ALso @caipsnotes @legalfalcon please suggest.

It's normal to receive an extension. The email will/should also state the exact due date. It's not common to receive a 90 day extension though, 60 days is the more common extension. There are extension tiers of 30, 60, 90 days etc that can be taken. Extensions will not affect your PR, in fact Gcms Notes has nothing to do with the progress or outcome of your application. There is some misinformation and falsehoods created that requesting Gcms Notes can result in an immigration officer having to review your immigration application. Not true at all.

Thanks, wondering if all extensions these days are 90 days one, or if I am a one-off case

Just called IRCC
The agent said Everything is completed, whereas the case is still open.
I might get update soon.

Install Textnow app, get a Canadian number and try again.
