I just received a msg from CIC. The message reads as follows;

"
On December 12, 2018, you’ll see a progress bar for your Express Entry application. The progress bar shows the time elapsed since we received your application. It will give you an estimated completion date based on our latest estimated processing times.

We’ll let you know when the progress bar is available for your application."

Did anyone else get this msg? What does it mean? Is this a new system they are implementing or does this mean that someone has started working on my file?

Thank you,

Ari Banerjee
same here!!!! I think it is for everyone not specifically for you or me. What I am hoping for is to see "this many days left until the final decision" because we already know how long it has been since we have submitted our application.

lol more effective? it is just for the people who crossed 6 months mark so that they can relax a bit. the reason you didn't get it because you are already approve application who is just waiting for the application..

Does anyone know as to what is the longest time a candidate has waited to hear back from CIC over a CEC application decision? Can it take more than a year?

I've been reading on other forums. Everyone got the email including those who are within the processing time, only exception is people whose files are approved.

yeah u r right.. I am almost completing 8 months in dec since my AOR. My eligibility review required. I have uploaded a document to help them to clear my eligibility through ircc web form. They did not touch my file since my ELIGIBILITY REVUEW REQUIRED. I only passed medical. I know i cnt do nothing to speed up the process. Waiting is only option i have.
