Does any one know about eCAS system and how to get the updated application status? Has it stopped working for express entry applicants now?
Bcoz last time what I read in this forum about ECAS was that it is not supported for the express entry profile now. But I am 100% not sure. I am also not able to dig the information related to ECAS not supported in this forum.

Whenever I try to check about my profile in ECAS, it says "We were not able to identify you using the information you provided."

Anybody?

Yes, it's the same thing for me.
I guess that express entry applicants are now not supported in eCAS. Thanks for trying :).

NP mate. Looks like we are very similar on timelines. Exception being you are PNP. Has your BGC status changed to NS or IP?

Hi - I am in the same boat with you with the exact same current status. I also had a Schedule A request, but on Dec. 15. My timeline is in the signature. Do you think the "Review of submitted documents" is going to change to "Received" soon? It is so confusing. Which country are you applying from?
Hi,

I am applying from Macedonia, regarding the changing of the status I have seen many different examples on the forum. I was interested to compare with someone like you which application is similar to mine where schedule A was requested. As I understood except medicals nothing else changed?

Hi! Yes - I asked this question in the November thread as well and have heard back from a few people who said the status of submitted additional documents never changed to "passed" for them, so that gave me a bit of a relief. No updates for me ever since my medicals passed two days after the AOR and the schedule A request of course. I also raised a CSE regarding the translation of my diploma from Latin into English, but they only confirmed the receipt of my documents by CIC, without providing any further information. I am applying from Kazakhstan, but am a Russian citizen.

Hi! For us (my husband is PA) is almost the same, med passed, we got travel history request at the same day, submitted it the next day - and that's all. One week ago we checked, and BG was NN (it was NS after med passed). We didn't get any updates about it. Everything else is the same.

In the October thread there is a russian named Nata, she got her PPR at the end of December. She said that she didn't get any updates after medicals. She saw her BG in progress only when she got a golden email. Maybe it's just Warsaw office that doesn't pay much attention to such things as status changes :)

Hi there! Are you a fellow Russian applicant too? :) I was also looking at December threads from 2015 and the timelines for Russians were similar to what you are describing, with background check changing to "in progress" a few days before PPR. Are you an FSW-outland?

yep, it would be better to say that I'm a wife of russian FSW-Outland :)
I just hope we will be lucky enough to get our PPRs earlier that those in 2015 :) Seems that Warsaw works pretty fast now, so if there are no big problems with security, people get their PPRs in 1-2-3 months

That is pretty much fast. I wish Vienna office was so quick.
