Sorry i thought that you were telling that it was going from received to in progress and later noticed you are telling about in progress to received hence removed the comment.

Were you able to find what step 3 is for. Did you receive the letter. What it is about? I got the same line in my ECAS. Thanks

For me, third line meant that my application went to Program Support that caused 2 year delay. Decision was made dec 31 2020. Have not received my certificate though
