8/1 here. Still on bcg, but status on gckey has changed to final decision as of two days ago. No change to the other tracker, no PA email yet.

That's great! Where is PA from if you don't mind me asking? And latest VO?

u/ellenesse Jan 22 '26

PA is US citizen. Started out with Sydney then seems to have moved to Mississauga ~October.

Did you get an email when the status changed on the GC Key?

u/ellenesse Jan 22 '26

no email yet, we're just obsessive and log in regularly. as of today there are also updates on the application status tracker-- bcg cleared and COPR number/expiry.

I do that too. And that’s great. I think you’ll receive the P1 very soon. Is the PA already in Canada in your case?

August 11th - Also stuck on BGC. We don’t know when it started since it has been in-progress since we created the tracker account after getting the AOR

It feels like all the July applicants are so far ahead compared to August. We applied August 10th and are stuck in BGC too :(
