There is nothing to be affraid about your application being processed in Montreal. These days because of volume of work, applications are redistributed from other CIOs offices to other visa offices. It is called workload redistribution. Also webform requests do not tell the whole story and so you may request for your GCSM at this stage to know where your application really stands. It is very likely that you get PPR soon when they started issuing out PPR. Are you inland or outland? Which stream are you?
Hi, thank you for your reply. I am outland and stream is FSW. Should GCMS notes be raised by a Canadian citizen or PR holder or can it be anybody residing in Canada (with a visa)?

It depends on your previous status of your application if you know it. The ghost update suggest there is a new development in your apolication which nobody in this forum can answer correctly unless you speak with ircc agent when they are back at work hopefully next week

I guess with this ghost update your security might have been completed.
Raise an IRCC Webform to confirm with them since you can’t call them at the moment.

Submitted Add-on request on the 25th and got PPR on the 6th. Add-on had only letter of explanation and birth certificate cos he was born here in Canada. Also after my case got approved I noticed that background and eligibility was complete on the same date. Wishing you luck, hope this helps.

Did anyone receive their passports back with CoPR?
I sent mine on March 10th (Ottawa, CEC Inland) and no update after that.
My application is still not Approved (AOR- Oct 9th).
I understand the situation is bad here in Ottawa, but worried about my passport as its almost a month since they received it.

Sent a webform and got this back

The responsible office is currently verifying if your application meets the eligibility requirements under the immigration program for which you have applied,
you may be contacted via your account if additional information is needed.

I'm glad my file is moving but I thought those two ghost updates meant everything was passed. I they pass the eligibility soon.
