I'll be more clear
I sent my application on 2nd December 2010
It was received by CIO Sydney on 8th December 2010
They cashed the bank draft the next week
After this CIO sydney did not send my anything. Neither a AOR nor a PER. I waited till July 2011 for any information regarding my application but there was no response. So in July 2011 i sent them an email asking about my application's status, they replied:
Your application has been received by our office, and is currently awaiting review. You will be contacted in due course. A letter will be sent via the e-mail addresses provided on your application.
In the above email, they also mentioned my Application ID which i could use to track my application ( i didn't know this at that time, the tracking part)
After a month, 9th august to be exact, i got my PER email from ntake-Office @ cic.gc.ca. This is the standard email everyone gets and it said:
Based on a review of the information you have provided, your application has received a positive final determination of eligibility for processing on the basis of work experience in an occupation specified in the Instructions issued by the Minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism and published in the Canada Gazette on June 26, 2010.
Your application will be forwarded to a visa office for further processing.
That is the story. The only thing confusing me is this.
When i click the
in process link in ecas i get this message:
We received your application for permanent residence on December 8, 2010.
We reviewed your application and sent you a letter on March 4, 2011. Please consider delays in mail delivery before contacting us.
The second line says that CIO sent me my PER email in March 2011( which i never received). Lets assume that they did send me an email in march and they did transfer my file to London Visa office in march. If that is the case, why haven't they updated my ecas mentioning the date the VO received my file. Also, if my application was just sent to the visa office, why does my ECAS say
in process.
EDIT:
This is what my ecas looks like
