Thanks
I know maybe I should just relax but when I see others bGc started even before their file got transferred to ndvo and mine didn’t start even 15 days after transfer .it makes me little nervous
But at the end there’s nothing I can do
And have to just let it be
I feel your pain. I'm in the same boat...

When your gckey says profile updated but there is nothing in it. I know it takes 24 hours to reflect in your account but is this normal at this stage when I am already waiting for DM.
you never know, may be this is dm or ppr. stay positive :)

Just the same old 4 lines in ECAS for Principal Applicant. I am the sponsor and have already been approved.

  1. We received XXX application for permanent residence on May 29, 2018.
  2. We started processing XXX application on August 16, 2018.
  3. We sent XXX medical instructions on July 13, 2018. To avoid delays, please provide us with the information requested as soon as possible. Please consider delays in mail delivery before contacting us.
  4. Medical results have been received.

But DM is in ECAS only right? And in PPR, you just get the mail right? or even the gckey account gets updated? For me, it has been stuck at 'in process' for a while now.
no it could be in gc key also. idk how they work, but for some people it showed in process even they got ppr , once they stamped the single entry visa they updated on ecas dm, not on gc key. for others, it shows dm before the ppr

Wow!! Wish that is the case for me too. I was just worried that I hope I don't get an interview or additional docs request now.

What is single entry visa? Is dm means visa approval?

It can only be a good thing, as it proves that you are a legitimate couple. Plus, as long as the Sponsor Eligibility Assessment part is done, then there shouldn't be any problems.
Thanks I have been wanting to go since October but I wasn’t sure as it has clearly been written that Pr should be living in Canada and I also called cic few times diff agents diff answer ..so I didn’t want to take any risk as I wanted to go for longer period and hoping to come back with my husband but I think if I plan to go in March it should be ok as it will almost be 7 months then since we applied
Any thoughts ?
And if I go do I need to inform cic about it ??
