In the same situation. My husband visited before we sent in application but also looking for answers as getting mixed replies from everyone. He also does not need visa to enter (only eta).
So if anyone knows that would be great!
Also if someone can clarify what ECAS is?

Are you entering the correct number for how many people in the application? You have to count the PA, the sponsor and any dependents even if not joining. I didn't count the sponsor at first and got the same message.
If the sponsor is a Canadian citizen or resident they're not listed in the application?? So why would you put the PA and sponsor? I tried it that way and it did not work.

hello akbarz.
I open a new tread for my question in "family sponsor forum" see there for more info.
One person said - no issue at all.. I also think there should be no issue. he has his returned ticket and proof of employment.

Okay thanks. Ya last time he brought all his employment info just in case but they never asked for it, just personal questions about why he was here. We weren't married at that time so i dont thinks its an issue. Just wanted to be sure before booking ticket. I will be calling to find out more if i can. Will update

I think the question was about Client Application status (eCAS).

Ah sorry didn't work, probably another reason then. I don't know why we have to count the sponsor but we do as per CIC:

"If you’re applying for family sponsorship, in the last question, “Number of family members, including the primary applicant, that are part of this application”, also include the sponsor and the co-signer (if applicable). The number entered will be at least 2."
