Usually, there's a ghost update, indicated that someone's updating/working on your application. You should check your application status daily on your GCKey, there will be a "Application Updated" on your application but when you click on it, nothing's there and your application status goes back to "Submitted". And also, your ECAS will be added 1 duplicate/additional line

My ghost update was on March 27, I called IRCC the next day, they told me that my security was passed, then approx 1 month later (April 24),I got PPR

thanks for the detailed explanation, I am pretty sure some people will benefit from the thoughtful answer . however, could you say more about the extra line on ECAS please, what does it say?

That's normal as they only sent you 1 request, I guess that's your Medical request
I got 2 requests from IRCC, Medical request and Police Certificate request from another country

I guess that varies based on individual applications. You can always call IRCC and ask about the status of your application.

Thanks. When last did you get an update?
And do you have dependants? My last updates was sept and I have 3 dependants. Wife and two kids. I am worried applicants with dependants usually gets delayed than single applicants (not sure though). Just noticed that most applicants who gets PPR earlier are usually single, well among other reasons unknown to us.

My last update was medical exam on May 15th 2018. After that nothing happened. Yes I am suppose my wife is main applicant. I have an immigration consultant and she said that I have to wait until official processing time end. It was May 20th but now June 20th because they increased processing time. I hope we can get it soon, because our medical exam will expire on May 24th.

I will keep post about my case, let's keep in touch. And good luck all of us. We are on same board.

did you have an immigration agent ? or submit the file on your own?

 

[Karen P]

Yes, ours started in Aug, 2018

Thanks for your prompt reply. How did you find out that yours started in August?

Oh, okay. Good to know. I am logging into my account to see if there is an update but so far nothing
Thanks a lot for the information.

 

[Karen P]

I think Security check is the most time-consuming process. My application passed most of the criteria in June 2018 (Background, Medical, etc.) and the only thing left was Security, which was completed in March 27 2019

And another frustrated thing is that when you call IRCC, even though they're working on your Security check, they still let you know as it's Not Started.

Oh no... so even though is was done on march 27th, you did not get ppr yet?

My MP said. And then he asked them again in March and still processing…. !!!!!!????? They don't tell anything else. No update. Nothing.

It is extra frustrating when you are waiting for something you want so badly for this long and there is no information given that can explain the delay. I have seen people saying that their security check took 2 weeks. I do not know the difference between that person and us but there should be a convincing explanation to let us understand why someone’s application is taking barely over a year or less and why ours is taking this long. It is frustrating for all of us but I am thankful that there are people like you guys, kind and understanding to support and cheer up each other.
