Ok.
I passed medicals yesterday, and today I checked and I could access ECAS. I have no idea if I have been able to access it yesterday either, as I didn't know what it was before yesterday.
It says:
1. We received your application for permanent residence on September 14, 2015.
2. We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s) on September 14, 2015. (this is a lie! It was on 15th! I have their AOR dated on 15th)
3. We started processing your application on September 23, 2015.

Now, I have a question. What is this, and how does it help me understand what situation my application is in?
I haven't send my dependant's FBI check. But I included all the documents showing that I will receive it in mid october. Does this probably mean they agreed to give us some time? Or do they decide after this?
 
well if u have stayed in there for more that 6 month then u have to have it in any case. So the best thing is to get this done earliest possible. as per my understanding ur application should be on Review of eligibility - Review in Progress, so ur not through to that stage yet.

Is this the reply to my post?!
 
Yes. I can guess this as my application is at the same stage where in its under process for eligibility. Medical and Background , PCC starts afterwards.
 
do we get further updates on ECAS other than initial 3 lines ? e.g. medical , background check etc.
 
Hi Guys,

Today again I saw the Express Entry Application status "updated".but no changes in the application so far. Does that happen to anyone else as well?

It happened to me for the first time today.
I died twice until I opened my application.
What does this mean?
 
Are you guys getting an email?:)
 
This is referred to as ghost email... everyone says its a good sign and usually means someone is working on the application. ..and an update is usually expected to reflect within 24hrs , if applicable....though many times its possible that there are no chamges really..just Visa officers going through the file.
 
Yes I got one last week no change. Does the officers work on weekends?
 
Seems to be that way..I've got ghost emails on weekends...and I have read stories of several people having maximum movement (real updates, ghost emails, even PPRs) on weekends.
 
That's awesome to know thanks mate :)
