December 2022 Outland Spousal Sponsorship

[somniferum]

Out of curiosity, have you happen to notice the state of your background check in GCKey? Was it ever in "Not applicable" state?
And you are saying about Eligibility started in GCKey - are you sure it's not the new PR tracker you are referring to? It is mostly reported that GCKey eligibility indicates as started right after AOR.

yes sorry, you are correct. I was totally mistaken when I said GCKey I meant PR Tracker. Will edit that

Good, thank you. Have you happen to notice if background check in GCKey was ever in "Not applicable" state?

I did not notice that state for background check on GCKey. Currently GCKey says background check not yet started and it’s always said that when I’ve logged in

Exactly same way inlands would do. There is instruction on IRCC website for this particular scheme.

I haven't had a ghost update since April 19 where the Eligibility went from Not started to in progress. April 19 is around the time we received the CSQ from the Quebec government.
At what point is the best time to reach out for updates ?
