Someone i know had missed unit number from the address and their card was returned back due to this error
That I will call a "BLUNDER" not a miss or Error. In official Documentation of this importance where all communication goes through the Governmental Post/mails, no one is allowed to Miss this.. :)

agreed. At this point I don't know what I should do. GC key since July 9 shows that application is in process. It has been 54 days since submission

I hear you. I know this frustration when we have high hopes of feedback especially reading the progress of others.

Do not worry, as based on your time line I am hoping BEFORE next Friday (21st of August) you will have your cards (based on all the year long experience I have got). Good luck and hoping for the best for you.
 
Well once JSON is complete, it is normal for people to get cards in 7-10 days. It just shows up in the mailbox.

However, officially they claim 6 weeks for card delivery once cards are mailed.

Once you have linked the application, you may get one Ghost update when the cards are mailed or printing is done (any sort of update). But please remember, I am telling you about what few members are reporting and this is not always true. So I do a lot of reading and try to understand and try to organize the updates from members to give overview that may apply to you.

That is why I always ask members to update here, so one day we might have a good solid understanding of the updates to every possible unique case.
Thank you for your response.
Yes i see similar trend based on people updated in the group. only thing trying to find at what point application status changed to Approved in GC account.

My application was with lot of trips and just met the 2 years criteria (1050 days outside in last 5 years), so little bit worry as i still see inprogress state.
 
I applied for my extension on June 28th 2026 and my json was updated on Aug 5th with photo issue.

I took the photo from staples and uploaded the digital copy only. I saw a couple of people had similar issue. did u guys get any update after that? did you guys act upon it?
 
But do agents know anything different from what we are seeing on our GC key accounts or the portal? This is such a broken system.
When I called, the agent was able to tell me my card had been shipped.

FYI, on my portal my applicaiton still shows as submitted, JSON "20" and I was never able to link my application.

So I guess they do see updates that may not have shown on our end yet.

They supposedly are also able to tell you what "batch" (what date - e.g. applications form June 1st) are currently being processed.

Hi,
I was able to talk to an agent and he wasn’t helpful at all. Every question I asked, he replied I have no answer to it. Just that my application was still being processed. I did ask him which month’s applications are being processed- same answer he doesn’t know. He kept saying the applications are case by case.
I guess I ll call again.

Hmm, that's strange. I'd try calling a few more times - some agents are more helpful than others, but it's true they have limited information
