Logged into CIC account this morning and saw the current status as "Application/Profile Updated" but there was no update nor email saying there was an update. I clicked on "Check Full application status" and there was nothing. When i came back to profile home the current status changed to "Submitted". Any clue? Is this a ghost update?
Yes its an update. Some work was done on your application.

If you are in IP2 then this ghost update means your file is approved. Just a matter of time for you now.
how many days is it taking for gcms notes at the moment
They say 30-35 days, but i had received it before 30 days. Can vary case to case.
Hi Guys,
Here's my timeline:
PPR 31 Jan
Passport Sent (FedEx) 04 Feb
Passport received at Ottawa 05 Feb
Application updated TBD
Tracker activated TBD
Passport received TBD
I finished my medicals on Aug 31,2018. So I'm guessing when I get the COPR it will be valid till Aug 31,2019 only. Hoping to receive my passport back soon and complete landing procedure at earliest and come back to US, As I can't leave the states between April-October 2019 due to H1 process. Tricky situation!
Congrats Nishita !
My AOR is 2nd Sep 2018
I’m still at IP2, CPC Ottawa
Don't worry Rohan. You will get PPR soon. They are clearing the backlog rather fast.
Better CPC-O than NDVO

Skype will only let you call toll-free numbers for free. CIC number isn't toll free.
You need skype credits, or a skype plan which includes Canada.
Hangout Dialer doesn't work from many countries, maybe that's why.
I am in India and skype has free calls to US and Canada numbers so not really sure why I get invalid number error.
Has anyone from India made the the call to CIC through skype ?

i called CIC last week, agent mentioned that eligibility met and background check is in progress. Which mean IP2 right?
Current Status : We are processing your background check.
BGC status in my cic account changed today. Now they are processing...

Finally a change from IP1 to IP2.

What does it say now ? “We are processing your background check” ?
After Oct 27th when I passed Medical, BGC has started.
