    It has been a month since we received approval, so I e-mailed Canadian Embassy for an update. Hope they will reply to me and advise what the status is. They should just say Ecas is not functioning now as they don't have any time to update. :( BTW I loved reading Floydannie experience landing...

Time lines make no sense at all,some applicants documents that are received at later dates start getting processed before ones received earlier. At...

    Only 2 entry ever made, the day they received and the day they started to process. The DM never entered, I only received the e-mail that DM and approved on Nov. 4th.

    @Floydannie It's ok to let your husband know you will miss parents that's normal. BTW Filipinos were ranked as #1 immigrants to Canada to adapt and contribute to economy. :) :) You will find its cold here so dress in layers and wear hat and gloves. Wear some good quality socks even indoors so...

    It was frustrating talking CiC hotline here as they have no idea what happens to file once transferred to CEM. They also told me that files are transferred electronically to CEM from Canada. We were approved Nov. 4th but still have not heard from CEM. They rarely update Ecas. AJW

    Hi, I'm also in July batch and got approved on Nov.4th, but have not received PPR. Nothing updated on ecas either. I called the immigration office here in Canada and they said once CEM has file they have no idea what is going on, so they cannot give me any answers.
