GUYS,
I JUST CHECKED MY ECAS..GOT MY INDIAN MAILING ADDRESS UPDATED...ABHI ISKO MEIN KYA SAMJU...MY QUERY IS
IS THIS UPDATE FROM CIO OR NDVO...???
WAITING TO HEAR FROM YOU GUYS...
share ur timelines.......nd read the below post .....I posted it today only
"Guys I'm just telling you the logic behind updation of old and new Ecas.
Old Ecas Updation
•The logic behind change from Indian to Canadian address for an NDVO applicant earlier was that the applicant first belonged to India, but now since he/she will be a Canadian resident, Canadian address is updated in ecas......which means visa granted. Updation of canadian address as mentioned on ur appln is still followed now by local VO.
•It would include Indian mailing address
•It would directly not show the status "In Process" as with MI3 applicants........Instead there were various other status like CIO Review complete, RBVO and so on
•When VO starts working on the file, a status would read as "We reviewed and started processing on XX"
•For every small detail, it was manually updated
New Ecas Updation
•Currently for MI3 applicants, after the switchover from CAIPS to GCMS, most of the ecas updates made are automatic
•They have stopped wasting their time and energies for ecas updation and instead provided a clear picture of where ur file currently is thru new ecas update
•Since most of the work is now done by CIC, the ecas status directly shows as "In Process", it can mean from when it ws recd by CIC ...processing has already started......though its just what I think
•VO are just left to see the logical disposition of a file based on local knowledge they have
•But in my view, they are still not trained on standardized ecas updation, which sumtimes can cause Confusion.
BOTTOMLINE:Ecas is updated so that client knows which level or processing exactly his/her file is at.
Other than DM made without medicals, there is no reason to worry while checking ecas.
I hope this clears some of ur doubts regarding ecas!!!!!"
