Yes. Final approval was done in November.
Well this doesn't make any sense. Your application was APPROVED in November? First of all, Nov would have been too early for June AOR. Secondly, if it had indeed been approved, you've gotten it by now. In 3rd place, in this case if you called their call center they'd be able to explain to you what exactly is going on.

If I were you, I wouldn't sell myself short. You'd never know with CIC. Although I get what ur doing tho; hoping for the best but expecting the worst
Its just pure logic, why is it that my application hasn't gone the same as the others? Ghost updates with no emails... ADRs for police certificates that aren't usually needed, and now almost everyone from early August has gotten their PPR and I'm not one of them. My profile is GOOD, there's NOTHING wrong with it.

Yes, it was approved in November. I called them and they confirmed that it was approved in November and they also confirmed that my file was not touched after that. The agent on the phone said she does not know what's going on. She just said that she will send a note to the office. And she told me if I don't hear anything by 23 April, that I should call back.

well keep the faith! I think one of the reasons for this group and the Whatsapp one is to try and encourage one another cos of the excruciating wait we are going through with Montreal. Just hold on as many pple have been frustrated by this process but still come back to share that they got PPR in the end

I don't often feel frustrated, discouraged etc, but unfortunately I'm also resistant to encouragement efforts... it's just how my brain works :(

I just want to understand, is it still a ghost update if you get no email?

I trust you have a GCMS notes order underway?

An email is often triggered long after you see the "Updated" status in your online account. You may get an email tonight/tomorrow. In a rare scenario that you don't, this is a ghost update regardless. Looking at the general trend, you should expect a PPR anywhere from 1 day (most common) to as long as another month. But this is definitely a good sign. Montreal center touching your application for anything is a blessing.

Thank you, that's what I needed to confirm.
