I couldn't create an account for this PR tracker. Is it because my paper application is already linked to my GC-key account?
First name is your name and your middle name as shown on your passport, then last name is your last name. That’s should work

Is it supposed to change? Cos I linked the application as per the email they sent to me
So you know where it says "Check full application status" on the table once you login to your account home on GCKey? When you click on that, under "Details about your application status", "Review of eligibility",
mine changed from: "Your application is in progress. We will send you a message when we start reviewing your eligibility."
to: "We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements." a few days after I linked my application to GCKey

Thanks so much for this information. It helped me to realize that I provided a non-existent email address (due to the omission of an alphabet) when I submitted the application earlier. So I created an email now using the wrong email id and it worked on the PR tracker. The tracker finally showed that a biometric request letter was sent to that email address on April 26, 2022. Therefore I just used a web form to provide details of this development to IRCC. This is a surprise that after linking the paper with the GC-key account using the appropriate email, I never received the update on the account. Please is there any advice or better suggestion to get this rectified soon. I believe that the biometric request letter must have expired, meanwhile, the PR tracker shows "waiting on you" for the biometrics section.

You may just have to wait for IRCC's response. I assume you've checked your message section on GCKey to confirm wether or not the letter is there? You may also send a email to Accra (if they are requesting biometrics, chances are your file is there already). Just mark it as urgent and state what the issue was.

Hi Cee Jay, I'm not sure tbh. I can share my timeline though. Our file was transferred to them at the end of March, and we got Medical request mid May. Completed the request third week of May and it was indicated passed two days later same week (we did biometrics already for prior TRV application). But besides a ghost update on June 1, there's been nothing since on our end. Hope this helps!
Our case is very similar to yours .. did you ever get approved for your TRV?

You have nothing to be afraid of. The visa would have been issued before August 25th.
