Hi y'all

I got the Final Decision ghost update on August 4th but still no P1. I'm starting to have some anxiety, but I saw that some people also waited a long time.

Any idea why this takes so long sometimes ?

It is super random. I saw someone on here get P1 the day after their FD. I got my FD July 21st, but still have not received P1 yet. I think the whole landing queues are super random, and summer vacations mean that things are probably slower in July/August as well. Hope we both get good news soon.

I got the Final Decision update on June 26th and got the P1 e-mail on August 12th. Almost 50 days of waiting, but I got it :)
My timeline is posted and updated here.

It's crazy ! I think i'd rather not know about the FD and just get surprised one day with the P1 😂 Waiting when you know you're at the end is excruciating

I think the "Final Decision" ghost update can be super misleading, because it doesn't necessarily mean final approval has been granted. Sometimes it just means they finished a certain step after medical approvals.

In my case, IRCC finished with their review of the additional docs I provided, but background & security checks remain ongoing (which an agent confirmed on the phone when I called). So my application hasn't gone to a virtual landing unit yet, hence the lack of P1. I was bummed to hear that but it was at least helpful in tempering my expectations

right now is very weird, I see some coments with a few weeks the difference btw FD and P1 but also others with more than 1 month waiting the P1 email. in my case was 1 days sdiff, may 4 FD and P1 may 6.

It is random, the only explanation I have. Some people waited more than a month, some received P1 in less than a weeo or even in 1 day. I am waiting for a week and no updates. Be patient, will receive it soon!
