I have stopped the guessing game to be frank with you. Unless you haven't got passport request, assume anything can happen ... but in regards to number one if you are asking that once you have ECAS status your documents are complete .. not true...check the thread I gaveAsivad Anac said:Depressing start to a weekend and Week 6 of no updates if your analysis is correct.
I was under the impression that,
1. If one gets ECAS access itself (let alone status change from In Process to Application Received) that implies that the application has been hosted on GCMS which only happens if preliminary document checks are positive. Else one gets document request or straight rejection if one is unlucky.
2. Background check moving from "Not Needed" to "Not Started" implies that the application has now moved to local VO for people applying from outside Canada.
Do these assumptions seem right?
I dont know change from not needed to not started means. I have the same status and I am applying from inside Canada.
