<<<<<<<<<<MARCH 2023 AOR>>>>>>>>>>

[Kirat Dhaliwal]

Hello, just some updates on my end (FWS-O):
AOR - 3 March (not 4 March!)
Biometrics request - 15 March, completed 17 March
On 16 March, I got an email that they have updated my application status but I don't know if this is what's considered "ghost update".

I've been checking the tracker everyday. I did not get an email update but on 27 March, when I logged in to my CIC account, the "Current Status" of my application changed from "Submitted" to something along the lines of application updated.

Today, 29 March, my tracker says that biometrics, medical exam, and eligibility are completed. I never saw eligibility being "in progress" though. Background verification is still "not started".

Does anyone know what background verification entails? I did my undergrad in Singapore for 4 years and my final semester (4 months of stay) coincided with my last 10 years of address history/personal history/travel history. I did not have to submit Singapore police certificate though. Do they ask for ADR of police certificate under background verification? Singapore seems to be so slow in processing this request (especially since I don't live there anymore and physical mail might be an issue) and I'd want to avoid additional delays!

When did you provide biometrics? And when did they updated in your GC key?

Congrats buddy! It is great that you have already passed eligibility. You should celebrate, not worry. You are the furthest one ahead of everyone in this thread.
If the system did not ask you for a PC from Singapore probably it is not necessary.

Pretty cool that your eligibility passed. Not seen this yet for March AORs. Technically, Officers may ask for an ADR for PCC of any stay they want but if you explained this in your LOE then it shouldn't be a problem.

Thanks! No, I didn't provide an explanation since the system didn't require a Singapore police certificate from me.

When did you provide biometrics? And when did they updated in your GC key?

I did biometrics on 17 March. It was linked to my GCKey account the same day but it changed from in progress to completed on the tracker the next week!

ITA 01/11/23
AOR 03/07/23
Medical passed 03/28/23
Received letter for bio collection and request to send documents for my partner's police certificate.

I am still not able to register for the tracker though.

I think I just received my first Ghost Update this morning??? Received an email but nothing changed in GC key.

Even though our bio collection appointment will be this Friday morning and my partner's Mexico police certificate is not ready at all...

And I am finally able to register for the tracker. But my file says it is for PNP instead of EE. Don't think that matters but it is interesting.

I was considering destination as visa office. Sorry for misinformation. I have removed it.
