Morning House,
please does that submitted passport to Abuja vfs should give feedback, let's know which office is more reliable whether lagos or Abuja.... because some of us in Lagos are considering sending passport to Abuja should incase they offer reliability.

Any office is better than Lagos. If you can wait for 3 weeks to1 month or more and without proper updates, then you can send to Lagos. If not, use Abuja or send to Accra or Niamey.

1 week and some days. Sometimes less. Sometimes up to two weeks. But I haven't seen any instance where it went beyond 2 weeks for TRV. Someone I know sent his passport to Germany (expectedly expensive) and got everything back in 3 days. Any VAC in the world can process it. However, VACs in countries with "lower traffic" to Canada would return your passport in a matter of 3-5 days.

It's not a ghost update. It's a backend server downtime. Whenever there's a downtime, you won't be able to view the application page and when you refresh the status page, you'll see a message that your application status has changed. Once the server comes back up, the message will be cleared.

A ghost update is when you see a message that your application status has changed and you are actually able to view the application page. Ghost updates are seldom general. It'll happen to just your account.

My bet is that almost everyone cannot access their accounts at this current moment and they'll get that message too.

Some people can access their account, called a friend of mine to check his portal, he said he could log in and he didn't get the application update. if it was a server downtime, I am sure the situation would be general. my two cents tho, but then again, you can be correct.

Well, with the unpredictability of IRCC these days, no one can tell what new methods they've devised. Normally, ghost updates do not prevent the application page from loading. To confirm server downtime, if you allow the application page to continue loading, it'll show you a 502 error page.

Definitely it's not a ghost update.
Has @frathermathy said.

A ghost update would leave u a message in your mail and nothing would change.

All applications right now are facing same issues.
Once you refresh, it would change from submitted to app update.
Even visitor visa does same.
Could it be that all apps in d world are been worked on at the same time? And u can't see your application details?

Well, When you login, if your application says it's been "updated" but none of the fields have changed. Once you logout and log back in, the application returns to being "submitted". Ghost updates are not announced by email and a candidate must check their profile daily to not miss them.
Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 17 by Dameelee: 8:50am On Nov 16, 2020
Oh!! I experienced this today too.

It’s called a ghost update.. it means they (VOs) are currently working on your application, hopefully an update for you drops soon...

Thanks for your swift response, I need other options preferably in Healthcare coupled with a 2yrs Postgraduate diploma study.
Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 17 by fratermathy(m): 8:55am On Nov 16, 2020
One thing I did notice about these "ghost updates" or "server down-times", whichever one we believe, is that they have been occurring en masse mostly on weeks when DLI lists are updated. This could be a coincidence or maybe they are sorting applications and re-queueing them.

Hello people, Una Good evening o.
As the procedure advised, I have followed this thread from the first to now 521, I have read every single page and trust me I have learnt on here more than my days in any other online research.

I am a 24years old going for an undergraduate program at the University of Saskatchewan(Admitted)

I have no previous post-secondary school program,
I did a professional course, of course, by Google earlier this year. Over the study gap, i have been doing social media page managing and web manager, not related to my course, been doing it to keep up.

I am a self sponsor.

I'm getting ready documents for a study permit, pls I need all the necessary advice, criterion and things to put together orderly.

When did you submit your application? See ehh, don’t let Canada give you headache, because this VOs like to take their time to do their job, don’t think they will rush anything because you are a January applicant, you just need to exercise patience, and take your mind off checking your portal every 30 seconds (trust me I learnt this stuff the hard way)
It will end in praise

Maybe i will learn it the hard way too lol, You mean when i applied for visa itself or when i did biometrics?
30 seconds? I do check it every 10 seconds lol... but Jokes apart do you think everything will be sorted out before December ending(I mean the medical request, PPR and others) some people who did there biometrics in October are even saying they haven’t started reviewing eligibility for them
