Hey guys
I logged on to cic today and saw application updated, I checked but there was no update. I also tried calling cic and the call went thru. It’s funny how I loose track of what to ask the agent when ever my call goes through. But on the up side the agent said my eligibility is recommended pass. VO-Ottawa..... IP 2 since medical passed on October 16th....
Sounds like a ghost update

I think it’s more like file transfer to another officer. When I passed medical, my profile just showed updated. But when I log in today, it was ‘application updated’. I called last week I was told bg check have started but not eligibility and also the last time my file was handled was the day medical passed October 16th but when I called today the agent said eligibility is recommended pass.
I think when ever a case officer handles the file that’s when we get the so called “ghost update”

Not necessarily, my file was last touched November 6 when eligibility and criminality was done but no ghost update... Just real update to the status of bg. After that no update nothing as file is still at CIO it probably happens when transferred to local VO and when file is added to PPR batch

I actually copied this because I think it may be helpful to all
“I Ap plied my GCMS notes just a week before my PPR is issued and got it in exactly 30 days. I was fortunate to see the whole detailed process of my complete application to the PPR since the notes was generated on the same day that they issued my PPR. I would share my analysis on how they process CEC applications.



Long words short, I think that they have 3 validation stages through the process:

0. The start of everything is medical pass. This triggers multiple processes to start including but not limited to criminality check. (29 days after the time you take your exam)

1. Program Assistant Review (10 days after medical pass)

a. This role does a very rough check on your files after your medical passes. (maybe this is R10)

2. Case Analyst Review (30 days after the Program Assistant Review)

a. To me this is the real and most important role that may send out procedural fairness letter (or the procedural fairness letter is sent by the immigration officer who knows..)

b. This role runs a thorough validation on your files and write a detailed report on what he/she find and submit the report to the immigration officer

c. This person also makes a rough decision of your eligibility A11.2 such as “Recommend Pass”

d. This person’s notes are long and are in details.

3. Immigration Officer Review (24 days after the Case Analyst Review)

a. The immigration officer makes the final decision based on the report gathered by the case analyst.

b. This role determines whether he/she is satisfied with your eligibility A11.2 and makes a final decision right after you pass A11.2.

c. Though this role’s notes are very short, according to the processing time during this stage, this role may also do a thorough validation on your files.

4. PPR send out (6 days after the Immigration Officer Review)


Details:

Day 16: Files transferred from Centralized Intake Office to CPC Vegreville

Day 28: Medical Passed. Criminality In Progress. RCMP submitted and passed on the same day. US Partner Biographic check submitted and passed on the same day.

Day 29: Files transferred from CPC Vegreville to CPC Ottawa

Day 38: Program Assistant Review - Candidate Eligibility at CPC Vegreville

Score met, Fees Paid, Med passed, R10 Passed, English Test Met (This is the earliest time I see the keyword R10 appears in the notes)

PCC Pass, RCMP Pass, Criminality – Recommend Pass

Day 56: My first GCMS note generated (I guess that the visa officer can see this message in their system)

Day 58: Biographic shared with the USA returned as Passed. (should be passed on 29th?! but they updated this field on this day)

Day 68: Case Analyst Review - Class Eligibility(CEC) at CPC Ottawa

Reviewed everything that Program Assistant reviewed and

CRS Score Summary, Current status in Canada, Marital status, Medical Validity, Passport Validity, Work experience

A11.2 Recommend Pass

[To me, Case Analyst is the real person that does thorough validation of your application documents including researching your work experience through web-based search, calculating your work period in detail, confirming your annual salary, job description/NOC, full-time/part-time job type, employment letter, as well as validating your paystubs]

Day 92: Criminality Passed

Day 92: Officer Review – Eligibility at CPC Ottawa

Reviewed everything that Case Analyst reviewed and

Satisfied with the application without any concerns. Eligibility Pass - A11.2 Pass

[The officer is the real big CROWN guy who takes the detailed report from the case analyst, reviews the report and determines whether this application is okay or not. The officer will approve your application right after A11.2 passes. In my case, the final decision was made in 2 minutes after A11.2 passed.]

Day 92: Security is only mentioned here as not started through the whole GCMS note. No further details. It’s either withheld by them or never started…

Day 92: Final decision made, application approved. (This approval only shows in the GCMS notes)

Day 98: Ready For Visa email sent (This is PPR)

Day 98: Group Number Assigned (from other’s GCMS notes showing they seem to process Passport in batches/groups)

Day 99: (Digital) COPR Saved to The System and queued for printing

Day 99: (Digital) Counterfoil Saved to The System and queued for printing


I have never had a chance to dig into “Security” check as the GCMS notes did not mention anything.”

Let me guess..Indian MNC IT company most probably TCS or Infosys. :p Served my 90 day notice period hoping that I would get PR by November.But IP1 became cozy with me and we became inseparable best friends.A day does not pass by for IP1 and me without seeing each other via Skype(CIC GCKey)


So,I joined another IT company with 60 day notice period.And now,IP1 started gushing about his big brother IP2 and how IP2,me might become even more thicker friends.IP1 is gonna introduce me to IP2 in few days.In here for the long haul.

Just for gigs.:p
Dudelebowski,
Thats a really romantic way of putting your situation!:D:D

Seems like they are not considering indian candidates at all, rest all are slowly getting their PPR. Just a observation from immitracker.
Dear showbit.jain,
Digging a bit deeper into immitracker, you would also see cases such as ones listed below, who are Indian FSWs and have been granted a PPR recently, so I am bit positive. On the contrary if you scroll a bit more, there are a lots of guys from CEC or even inland, who have not got PPR (or simply didnt update their case! ;))

Indian FSW, applying from India:

https://myimmitracker.com/ca/trackers/indian-e-apr-tracker/cases/case-56338

These guys used to be in same boat as we are!
Fingers crossed!!

Nice. Security check is always redacted even in GCMS notes, it is never shared. So we never know. Although I have no clue how some people say their security is in progress.
