Change in Ecas

From today, my ecas shows two addresses - Permenent Address and mailing address , though both are same

doesnt that mean anything positive ? does it happened to someone before?
mine changed months ago. like 3-4 months ago.
since then, there has been no news.

Double address in my opinion is just a programming issue, and does not mean anything significant.
Some people get their E-cas updated regularly, other don't.

Good news is that we are alive, and have a little spare time to get together here!

Not a really brilliant Monday it was. But you know, lets stick with the one PPR and see what "Tomorrow"s would have in hand...

I don't mind getting a party for no reason! lets be Happy...

:)

So here is your daily dose of literature:

"O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo?" :)

Lets say: "oh PR! where art thou?"
and here is the reason well said in the King Henry the 6th:

"Delays have dangerous ends"

though it is not clear to whom this danger is for...

Laugh Out Loud...

just got a reply from MP on our application inquiry..

MP:
"Case Processing has not responded to our inquiry that was sent on your behalf. We have however been informed that 35,000 files were recently transferred from Buffalo to the new Case Processing office in Ottawa. At this point in time, we have been unable to obtain a timeframe for processing those applications.

The Minister is fully aware of the concerns expressed by stakeholders and applicants that it sometimes takes too long to process applications and therefore the Department continues to explore new ways to improve service which in turn leads to shortened processing times."

35,000 ,such a huge number of files waiting to process ???..
