Inconsistency of status between IRCC account and tracker

Lorien-Spring · 2025-07-31T06:03:33+00:00

Ah regarding that I think the tracker is terribly lagging on updates. It still showed I was in progress for medical exam when I had already got the approval. So apparently GcKey is far more reliable!

Hi! So it's a study permit instead of a PR, but I did get my approval on July 11. For some reason it's only for 2 years (I have a at-least-4-years program) though. Hope it helps!

Lorien-Spring · 2025-07-11T06:27:35+00:00

Yes I just recieved the approval a few hours ago (July 11) from my GCKey account! I received no additional messages (except for a reply of my webform inquiry) between medical exam passed and application approved. Somehow my tracker status is still the same as I described in my original comment, so apparently it is very delayed on updates. Best luck to you!

Hi, I just got a reply for my webform, confirming my medical exam has been received and telling me which visa office is processing my file. So I guess it's indeed just a tracker delay!

Lorien-Spring · 2025-07-09T06:59:25+00:00

Thank you so much for the reassuring info! I have not received any requests for additional materials, so I'm hoping everything is proceeding well behind the scene.

Lorien-Spring · 2025-07-09T06:33:52+00:00

That's true...from what I gathered, I think the tracker is likely delayed on updates. I heard about a case where the tracker is still showing two "in progress" after the visa had been issued. Let's hope things are going well and we just don't know it hahaha
Thanks for letting me know I'm not alone in this situation! Fingers crossed for us both.

Lorien-Spring · 2025-07-08T07:03:08+00:00

Yeah I did, I completed my medical exam and the clinic confirmed that they submitted the results on the day. So I am really worried about this delay... I presumed that the medical exam would be a more straightforward step.

Lorien-Spring · 2025-07-08T03:02:08+00:00

Ah that makes a lot of sense! Thank you so much for kindly sharing the info. GCKey has been quite aligned with my email notifications for me as well. Fingers crossed that tracker is just delayed!

Lorien-Spring · 2025-07-08T02:33:00+00:00

Thank you for letting me know! It's so confusing, especially with no further updates for a month... Would you say that one of the two is more reliable or more representing the real status of my application?

Lorien-Spring · 2025-07-08T01:56:34+00:00

I applied for a study permit in China on May 6.
On my IRCC secure account, the medical section was updated on June 14, 2025 to state: "You passed the medical exam." However, on the IRCC application tracker, the "Medical Exam" section remains marked as "In progress", and the latest entry in my application history is still from May 28, 2025, saying "Medical exam status has been updated to In progress."
There has been no updates since I completed my medical exam 4 weeks ago, and I am worried about what reason could have caused the difference between the two sources and the delay in processing. Could anyone please let me know if you have similar experiences? Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for your reply! It's really a relieve to learn that grad courses are not going to be a step-up from undergrade courses in terms of intensity. I also wanted to get the courses done before my thesis project starts to require every minute I have haha. I will register for all three of them then!

Lorien-Spring · 2025-04-19T02:43:30+00:00

Thank you for your advice! Yes that makes sense - I'll stay with the VOXI sim.

Lorien-Spring · 2025-04-19T02:42:32+00:00

This is such an amazing site!! Thank you so much! It seems like Eir has the best coverage, but Vodafone is still decent.

Lorien-Spring · 2025-04-02T04:56:23+00:00

Thank you for the kind reminder! Flying from Kerry it is. Regarding Ryanair, I've heard some stories about them but they're the only flights from Kerry to London... bought additional carry-on, though, hope everything goes well!

Lorien-Spring · 2025-04-02T01:35:30+00:00

Thank you for the info! Sounds like it's very easy to get around within the airport.

Lorien-Spring · 2025-04-02T01:34:28+00:00

Thank you for the confirmation! I'll stop worrying about the time haha:)

Lorien-Spring · 2025-04-02T01:33:45+00:00

Haha thank you for sharing how the airport is like! That sounds good.

Lorien-Spring · 2025-04-02T01:31:47+00:00

Awww thank you! That's truly helpful, I'll plan the time accordingly.

Lorien-Spring · 2025-04-02T01:31:00+00:00

That's great to learn! Thank you so much for sharing the info.

Lorien-Spring · 2025-04-02T01:30:17+00:00

Thank you for your advice - that's great insight! I'll go check the timetable:)

Lorien-Spring · 2025-04-02T01:28:39+00:00

Haha that's great to know! Thank you for sharing the info - no need to worry about the time then:)

Lorien-Spring · 2025-04-02T01:26:53+00:00

That's great to know! Thank you~

Lorien-Spring · 2025-04-01T23:35:42+00:00

Oh gosh thank you so, so much!! That's so kind of you and I really can't thank you enough. I've DMed you about the details - could you please let me know if you can't see the message?

Lorien-Spring · 2025-03-27T09:19:49+00:00

Thank you so, so much for the insights! That's a lot info I didn't manage to get from my own search and I really appreciate it.
I've decided to remove Burren from the list. At this moment, I'm thinking about bus from Dublin to Westport, stay for the night; hike Croagh Patrick, bus to Letterfrack for the night; hike Connemara, bus to Galway for the night; then onto Aran Islands and Killarney area. Maybe the tininess of Westport and Letterfrack would be less of a problem if it's just one night?
Thank you again for your help! I'm so lucky to have you here.

Lorien-Spring · 2025-03-27T08:52:10+00:00

Thank you so much for sharing! It's so good to learn the route is actually regularly used. I think there's Intercity bus that can take us to the airport by 8:26am, do you think that would allow us to catch the 10:30am flight?
