Biometrics were not required for all applicants at the time I wrote this, so that is not something I have the answer to. Please refer to the updated version of this post and perhaps ask there.

What I’m wondering is, does the date change on the main application when each section is updated? Cos mine still has my aor date but the medical and the biometrics section dates are updated

My timeline is
ITA: Sept 17,2019
AOR: Oct 18,2019
MEP: Nov 14,2019
Ghost Update: Feb 17,2020
No update after that
background check says: we are processing your background check. We will send you a massage if we need more information. (I’m not sure whether it’s ip2 or 1)
I tried calling CIC 2 times after the ghost update. In first call the agent told me. It’s because your application has been touched. Your medical and criminality have been passed. Security is in process.
I called them again after 2 days to ask about Eligibility. The agent replied: Eligibility is under Review Required. However, he didn’t not explain why it’s Review Required? Also, he told me your medicals and criminality have been passed. Security check is yet to start.
2 different replies from 2 different agents about security check.
I’m really LOST, where my application is going. I’ve been reading different web forums some web forms say after ghost update, ppr mail comes in a week or two. Now, I’m in third week nothing from them. On the other side, some say Review Required cases may take up to a year to reach at the final stage.
Need experts suggestions.
I got the BIL along with MEP on March 1st, although Submitted Biometrics on 6th March. I have Shared Time line in Signature, Also have shared the link of my case in Myimmitracker. Hope that helps. If you have passed 90 days from your AOR, try IRCC Call centre, Its totally ok and thats what I did too because its frustrating to see no Status update in Profile... Which is the new normal after Biometrics intergration
I have submitted my PR application under CEC express entyr on Mrach 12th. I received Biometric request on May12th. But there is no update in Medicals yet.
Is this normal
