Good morning,pls anyone knows what is meant by document name “observations” required.
What's your timeline? Where did you see this? GCMS notes? Hmm... Maybe an interview, or additional documents? I'm not sure.

Not an interview, got PPR on the 17th to June, submitted my passport and all,but on the upload session where they have supporting document,under the document name “Observations “ was there.
Well I read from another forum that it’s a technical error,the guy said he send the document they required from him and he used the web form to inquire of it and they told him it was a technical issue and they have gotten the document he sent.

Oh okay, make sense. Yeah, I don't anyone has been successful uploading docs on GCKEY since I've been on this forum. I've even submitted an IT ticket re: this matter, didn't get a response. But Webform is your go to for uploads. Glad you figured it out, and congrats on PPR!

Thank you for this. I was having issues l
Thanks.

I was unable to link our application for months and only used E-CAS to view updates. So after I changed the number of family members from 1 to 2, it linked to my online account.

However I noticed that while the update in E-CAS changed from "Application Received" to "Decision made" on the day that he received his pre-arrival email (13th July), the online account is still showing "application in progress" for both background check and final decision. So it guess the online account doesn't update on time.
I also compared this with my old express entry account, and I noticed that my background check was completed on the same day I received my PPR, also the date of my final decision was the day my passport was returned with my visa.

Not sure if anyone had similar experience.
Congrats on DM!
Yeah, I'm sure there's a delay in update. Your BGC should have at least changed to 'in process' (my thoughts) before DM was made. Maybe they forgot, and you'll receive PPR in the upcoming week(s).
My BGC has been 'in process' since Mar 2021. PA's status (ECAS) changed to 'in process from application received,' we received MR and Pre-Arrival, but BGC hasn't changed at all to 'application in progress' like many I've seen in this forum. Makes me wonder...
I'm sure once passport is received by PA both accounts (ECAS & GCKey) will show finalized/completed.

In our gckey almost nothing changed until the day the copr was issued (except for correspondence).

There will likely be no notification of decision made or other significant steps in gckey after the medical results.

Why? I have no idea but it's normal.

You are very correct.
Anyway we will wait till this Friday. If I don't see PPR, will contact my MP. Abi it's to write email, and email is free. Who knows, might help. But keeping my hope that we will get it before this coming Friday.

The wait is soo frustrating.
On ECAS it says decision has been made. I received pre arrival letter almost 2 months ago and yet have heard nothing from the IRCC people. Has this happened to anyone ?

Wow that's real long you over a year heading to 2. When you say lawyers guess a representative/agent, they normally get most updates. Did you already get the Pre-Arrival Services? because that's normally a sign of relationship genuinity and normally no interview is requested after this letter. This letter also a good sign that file is in process and prolly ending soon. I feel your pain but stay strong, this shall pass.

Oh then you at the end of the road then. I think a few pple in same status. Hopefully PPR comes this week since hasn't been yet this month. Hang in there, but when was your file received? I mean has it exceeded a year yet, if so best try your MP and there might b a result soonest.
