Congratulations! Question: on your GCkey account did it still say “processing”background check/review eligibility/final decision when you found out ECAS said “decision made”?
Thanks. It is still showing the same (what you mentioned). Those are not updated until the passport is stamped. The same thing happened during my own PR.

Stay positive everyone. I know it's hard, I only received my AOR recently, but they are working on September files so it will come soon. Keep 1 year as the average time to complete the file (IRCC goals). I know 3 people this week which have had first contact from IRCC.

Hi, Did anyone submit a translation of the Birth Certificate with a certified true copy? As per the Requirement, the certified true copy has to have the following:

A photocopy of an original document. It must be readable and certified as a true copy of the original by an authorized person. The person compares the documents and marks on the photocopy:
  • their name and signature
  • their position or title
  • the name of the original document
  • the date they certified the document
  • the phrase “I certify that this is a true copy of the original document.”


However, in my case, the notary public refused to write the name of the original document. Is that a problem? Also, should the true copy be in color or black and white? If somebody has gone through this please help.

I scanned the original birth certificate and emailed it to a translator and she did the translation and certified the documents and then mailed the stamped copies back to me.

I don't suppose anybody knows what this addition on ECAS means: "We started processing your application on April 20, 2021." I thought it might mean the start of the background check, but no change on GCKey since medical. Is it just a ghost update?

GC Key still shows the following:

Review of eligibility
  • We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements.
Review of medical results
  • March 9, 2021 You passed the medical exam.
Review of additional documents
  • We have received the additional documents you provided.
Interview
  • You do not need an interview. We will send you a message if this changes.
Biometrics
  • We do not need your fingerprints. We will send you a message if this changes.
Background check
  • Your application is in progress. We will send you a message when we start your background check.
Final decision
  • Your application is in progress. We will send you a message once the final decision has been made.
