I've literally gotten SA and DM within 5 days of each other. I bet it will be the same for a lot of other people, too. I read that something similar happened to several people in March. Don't get discouraged. As of last Monday morning I still hadn't heard of we got SA and it was well over the 37 (or something) day period. I bet this week will be a big week for other people.
You are not nervous that a dm that quick might be a bad sign?

They say the reason why you cannot access the ecas its because of their UPCOMING NEW ONLINE SYSTEM that will be release on May 26. I also can't check mine online. 2 weeks since AOR1. :( But its fine, lets wait for another email or try this new online system. :)

Not true. If you can't access your eCAS it's not for that reason. Plenty of people are still able to check their eCAS.

Sometimes it takes weeks after AOR to be able to access it or longer or sometimes it's a different issue. The new online system won't be useful for checking the sponsor's side too. It's doubtful they will get rid of eCAS until their new system is fully up and running, which won't be for months at least.

Quick DMs are very normal for Ottawa right now.

You can call the call center and let them know that your eCAS isn't working. This has happened to a few people, but it's not related to the new system directly.

What are you using to log in? The UCI given with the AOR email is the sponsor's UCI. Make sure you use the sponsor's information. If you use the file number to log in, you can log in with either person's info.

I would try calling to let them know that you can't access your eCAS. It's probably some sort of technical issue. I wouldn't worry too much since you've already gotten AOR, so they have your application.

I started getting an access to ecas today, 5days after AOR1. For some reason, it lets me log in only with my info (PA) and application number (F00xxxxxxx), but not with my sponsor's info. I'm not quite sure why my sponsor's info doesn't work but I would wait and see. Anyways, hope yours start showing soon :)
