Honestly, it all depends on your processing office, in which you would not know until you get your test invite.

Hello,
Is the ghost update email from the same one that we get initially to link application to tracker?
Thanks

Type: Online application
Application: Family
Application sent: November 13th
AOR: December 6th
Fingerprint requested: Jan 2nd

I have a question about fingerprint request. The online tracker shows that it has been requested on Jan 2nd. However, I have not received the instruction letter yet. Should I contact them? If yes, how? Or is it normal for the instruction letter to take a few days to be delivered to my email?

Called the contact centre few times and they said that the system that sends emails is having some problems. Anyone has the same issue?

@marketburrito You don't get emails on ghost update. Ghost update is something when the last updated at date get changed on the tracker without any visible changes.
