No such thing as a ghost update. This has been demystified by LegalFalcon and other legal experts on the forum. The date update on top right is a system update date and has nothing to do with your application - this was tweeted by IRCC.

And, there's no such thing as receiving GUs before FD or even getting an FD date for many. Wait for the stages to reach completed or a PPR/RFV - everything else is a speculation that has only hurt people through false expectations here.

thanks for the info.
is there a thread where are the steps are explained?

I keep this handy to explain the right steps (LegalFalcon is a lawyer): https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-i...-you-legalfalcon.408185/page-347#post-6636032

I'll share more steps when I get time later. Don't fall for the GU, IP, etc bs as it leads to false expectations

Well, I think experiences are very variable but I do think GU exist. Might mean a VO is working on the file or reviewing it. I got my BIL on Sept 18 and because I kept re logging on my GC key, I saw that my Med had passed. Didn’t get message until Sept 19.
Then, I got a GU that application had been updated on GCkey 03/10, didn’t find anything but when I checked my tracker my eligibility had changed from “not started” to “completed”. But again, updates may be variable for everyone, especially as the IT system won’t be 100% efficient.

What I shared is an expert's field experience. As has been debunked multiple times through GCMS/CBSA, the time of GUs or whatever anyone calls it - it has nothing to do with progress of the actual state. Coincidences is exactly how GU, IP, NA, Date updated correlation in tracker became a thing.

Fwiw, the sample size of data on this forum in itself is too anecdotal to take anything seriously. Think through actual date log from GCMS/CBSA instead of trusting made up states.

It seems you’ve edited your response cos I was seriously wondering what you’re on about when you wrote “your thinking doesn’t supersede……”. I’m not interested in whatever authority/“all knowing” battle you want to have. I only shared my experience and that’s it. You can as well share your facts without being rude.

Made it polite to save your feelings(not mine), but not a big fan of "I think", especially when people force anecdotal info as truth. That ruins immigration expectations for all and has far more severe impact to someone's journey than you think.
