Quick question!
My doctor noted that my medical examination results were uploaded last Wednesday.
Unfortunately the ECAS has not been updated to reflect this yet...
Could someone give me an idea of how long this step would normally take (i.e. upload results and updating ECAS)?

Thanks!
Can take a couple of days or up to two weeks.

I guess related to this, does CIC update ECAS everyday, or do they only update it periodically (i.e. every Tuesday, etc.)?
I have seen in some forums where people reported their ECAS status changing on other days too, but can't say for sure.

Correct, the ECAS status can be updated on every day of the week.

How did you receive a confirmation, through an email?
Did they send you an email confirming receipt or did you send an email to request for confirmation?

yes, I sent an email to them asking a differnt question about my Kids who are from Visa exempt country and I am not. in the same email I asked about my medicals if they received.
Surprising I got reply in about 4hrs and they said that they recieved my medicals and under review, it was on Mar 10 but no moment after that..

So, it's been almost a month and half without any progress?

Another thing I am worried about is, if ECAS is not updated, does that mean that they might have forgotten to enter the data to the system and not look at the file completely because they might think that there has been no new information sent to them?
