I am still with my words above. Few things can delay PPR as I have read here in exceptional cases Background takes many months; which includes bunch of checks. May try contacting local MP and VO will have to reply within a week. Lat us know what reply came to MP's office. Thank you.
I tried contacting CIC through web form, this is what they replied:
Good day,

But on Ecas it shows DM, it's been more than 3+ months and I've also received the pre arrival letter. But in web form reply they said application is still under process I don't understand why?

Hello People,
I have a worry, please let me know you thoughts.
My application for outland spousal sponsorship is in process, I received a letter of pre-arrival services, and another medicals instruction since the first one expired.
I send a webform informing the Embassy that I have new passport and I attached a scanned copy. then I later send the same message with a scanned copy of my passport to the Embassy through email(Not webform). After the email was sent I noticed in the morning that I Included only my application number and I forgot to add my UCI. I immediately send them another email including my UCI.
My worry is sending them TWO EMAILS AND ONE WEBFORM about the same thing will appear as if I'm putting them pressure since as they are currently processing my application, and thus cause delays??

Please let know your thoughts
Many thanks

Hey guys. I have a question and i hope someone can put some light into this and help me out. I applied for my husband April 27,2020. March 27,2021 I received the pre arrival letter and they updated GC account to processing your background check. Still no update or anything about PPR. How long is the process? Whats the next step?

No-one can tell you exactly but pre-arrival is usually a good sign. If you use ecas, you may see a 'decision made' - also a good sign in combination with the pre-arrival (you will not see decision made in gckey).

After that, PPR. That may be one month, it may be three, in some cases longer. If your medical clearance is getting close to one year, they may request re-medical or extend the medical clearance for some additional months.

does anyone know what it means when you get ghost updates? April 27,2021 it will be 1 year since my application has been received. I think its my second ghost update. I opened my application today and it said update but nothing changed.

Same thing for me I got pre arrival on March 2, 2021 but no decision made or passport request. Gkey also says my background is in process
