When background check status changes to complete, do we get an email for the update?
My background check completed on March 3rd, but I did not receive any email, I only noticed it when logged in to the racker.

Also, I am seeing lot of people getting ghost updates, but I have not received any so far.
Are we supposed to keep checking the tracker for the status changes? Or will we get email for each update?


Below is my timeline so far -

Hi Folks,

Today our application was returned for not attaching the two identification documents..

My question is, can I just attach the 2nd identification doc and send the application back to IRCC without changing the forms, physical presence doc etc?

Also, I was wondering that I and my wife now apply online and mail our son's app to IRCC, is that possible?
I am thinking to do this just to cover some time as we already lost more than 2 months because of this nonsense, it's ridiculous...

Looking forward to hearing from you guys.

Best,
