Is anyone else having difficulty logging into GCKey? As soon as I click 'Continue to GCKey' it takes me back to the page where I select language again.
Pls I want to ask a question what was the timeframe between when you summited additional documents and when you got a Dm?

The request for additional documents (rcmp fingerprints and pcc of home country) was received the same day the BGC started - Dec 28th

The due date for the additional documents submission was Jan 27th. We requested an extension because we would not receive the pcc in time to forward to the office.

The rcmp fingerprints were received by CPC Mississauga on Jan 23rd and the pcc was received on Jan 28th.

Because our request for extension was granted, the BGC didn't actively start until end of Feb.

My father's BGC is still underway and the last time I spoke with an agent (Mar 25th) he was still in phase 1 - criminality.

His BGC hasn't completed yet, and his file's review of eligibility hasn't started so we're nowhere near any DMs.

Can anybody tell me what is a ghost update, and what is DM, PA, SA, AIP? Thanks!

I haven't been following this since I got the OWP in January. And now I don't understand all these abbreviations.o_O

A "Ghost Update" is when your ECAS says there is an update but when you check the status there is no obvious changes, it usually means something is happening with your application and you can expect some sort of correspondence in the near future.

DM - Decision Made
PA- Principle applicant (the person being sponsored)
SA - spousal approval for the sponsor
AIP- approved in principle - first stage approval of the PA pending the completion of background check and any other secondary checks
