Is ECAS the official receiving date and then they will use that date to count for process time? How long does ECAS take after receiving AOR date? Do you think once you received AOR at least they ackowledge that the immigration services has received your application?
I have just checked my application Status on line, I checked with my UCI number and it said that my application received on March 25, 2020, and the acknowlege was on Sept 16, 2020 and start the process on Nov, 13, 2020. Does that mean the November 13 is my ECAS or I am suppose to receive some other correspondance to give my the ECAS date. What do you receive from Immigration Service when you get your ECAS. Also please clarify what does ECAS stand for?? Thank you so much.
ECAS is just the tool you use to check your application status. Nothing more.
AOR is acknowledgment of receipt. So Nov 13 is your AOR.
IP is in process. This is the step after AOR and means they are actively working through your application.
What happen when you receive your ECAS, do you receive anything at all from immigration Services??
I got my AOR on Sept 16 and ECAS on Nov. 13,2020. So you may get your ECAS in January of 2021, as December is a short month with all the holidays. I think if you have your UCI number then check the status in January. I am very thankful that my application is being acknowledged and it is in process. It takes time as long the application is not lost, I am happy. One of my friend received their notification of test in March 2020 and because Covid, it has been cancelled. And they are unable to take the test yet. I am happy as it is. Hope everyone can get through quickly.
Hi there,
As @supercake clearly stated;
ECAS is just the tool you use to check your application status. Nothing more.
AOR is acknowledgment of receipt. So Nov 13 is your AOR.
IP is in process. This is the step after AOR and means they are actively working through your application.
The pattern for your citizenship application would normally look like AOR, In progress, invitation for test and finally invitation for oath.
Happy holidays.
Need some help here - I’m unable to access my files in ECAS after AOR, tried everything - UCI, application number etc. I called IRCC once and they said they can see it and send me with all these useless instructions. I sent a web form and got generic response not related to my issue. I’m wondering how I can even solve this given I tried every single channel and nobody seems to be able to solve this issue.
Could it be that you accidentally clicked on "remove access on this website"? Because in that case, you won't be able to access it on eCAS but IRCC will still be able to see your application progress.
Okay If I were you I would try every combination of last name, middle name, full name on ecas. Is your last name very long?? If yes it might be truncated in some way have you think of that? also check your AOR email the pdf attachment they printed my last name in caps letters you might wana take a look it could be a mistake in their end, I will use UCI instead of application number. If none of these works give them a call and make sure all your personal information they have in their end are correct.
I have been in the same situation since the beginning of my immigration process! It is terribly annoying not to be able to access my application through the ECAS system - I am very keen to hear from anyone who has actually solved this problem!
