I received my GCMS notes today. I could understand that the Ghost Update happened on the same day they marked my Eligibility as Passed.
So, I guess, even you passed the Eligibility.

My AOR is May14th. I got MED Passed and BIL July 9...then today July 10 I got an email about my profile being updated but I see no change...i wonder what it means

I got an email

I got an email

Yours is different GU. Everyone gets it, exactly 24 hour later of BIL/MP. Right ? Its like some system/automatic update.

How did you order the notes? And how long did it take?

For folks in Canada they can order for free, otherwise you can use a friend/relative in Canada to request yours for $5. See a sample as well https://sample.gcmsnotes.com

For those who are still eager to know the steps to request GCMS notes, please go through the below link. Once you submit the request, it takes 15-30 calendar days to receive the notes.

If you have dependents in your application, you need to fill and attach this form as well. Otherwise, they'll provide only your information.

This is also a ghost update only. So something is happening on your application. It's better to order GCMS notes to understand it.

I didn't receive any email. I verify my profile every Friday. On June 12th, I have observed a ghost update. It's a coincidence that I received the ghost update on the same day I verified my profile. Not sure whether a ghost update without an email stays more than a day.

When you say you verify your profile, do you mean you log in to your cic portal. Correct?

Also how long did it take you to get the notes?

It is also mentioned in the notes that Criminality is on hold due to missing Biometrics.
Security will start only after Criminality.

Fingers crossed to open the Biometrics soon.

I called IRCC today and they said my security is passed. And I asked if eligibility is still under processing. Then she said, no. Security, eligibility, and medicals passed. Criminality is pending.

Sending a webform request would be the best option.

That's correct. I log in to the portal and verify it.
I ordered GCMS notes 2 times. The first one (in May) came on the 30th day and the second one (in June) on the 16th day.

Wow. This is great. Hopefully, Criminality will be closed soon after we submit biometrics.

From the notes, I can see that my security is on hold with the US. There are 2 communications with the US. One on Biography which returned 'No Reportable Trace' and another one on Biometrics which is on hold due to missing biometrics information.

I assume my security is also passed since I also see a similar update on my application status. 'Pending your action' is changed to 'Submitted'. I'll order another notes by the end of this month.

Bridging open work permit question

So, my PR application progress is at 35% at the moment, and I paid for Biometrics fee when applying for that. Since all Biometric services are not available until further notice, I couldn't get my biometrics done.

Today, I have to apply for BOWP and it asks me if I gave my biometrics before and when I choose the option "I didn't", it charges me another Biometrics fee.

So, it makes me pay the $85 fee twice for two different applications.

Anyone had the same issue? Should I pay twice or choose the option "I had my biometrics done" and put a note in the "Client Information" section?

Thanks in advance!!
