Actually I used DD and I haven't received any confirmation yet that it was cashed. I went to the bank 2 days ago and they were telling that they cannot determine when it is cashed. It's really odd, I just thought that maybe tellers haven't have any idea and those who have senior position in the bank would had have the privilege to know it.

yes, it is odd. But since it shows "in progress" on ECAS then it should mean your DD is encashed already. Mine payment is CC. I haven't got sms notification about the charge yet and ECAS didn't show any of my application status. Good luck buddy!

If I'm not mistaken, I'll get it once the documents have reached VO in Warsaw. Correct me if it's not right. I got my card charged and I got an email from CIC stating that "your application has received a positive determination of eligibility to be processed" and "your application will be forwarded to a visa office for further processing."

The mail you received from CIC is PER only...

thank you .. I did first evaluation on Mar2010 and applied additional report on 21 April 2013 .. i got mail from WES for upgradation ... what you suggest .. i have to upgrade now ..

Upgrade to FSWP by ordering additional copies. Reports are mailed within one business day and your credentials will be viewable by CIO.

Then your status page might look like this: http://s9.postimg.org/d9p869g4f/00000001.jpg

Can anyone who have upgraded from WES basic to FSWP confirm the fee paid and the status after upgrading?

Hello Friends, :)

This forum is wonderful and really like to thanks all members for helping each other.

I am 21st May applicant, my mode of payment is DD.

I checked with issuing Bank whether DD is encashed, but they could not find such info.

I even called CIC call center twice, where it says your calling region not allowed to the said number.

However, I am thinking other option to call CIC call center.

Is it ok, if I ask my sister in Toronto to call CIC and get the info for my application status ??

Will this work ??

Experts, please let me know

It has something to do with method of calling you are using. Or may be it is just a bug of internal CIC automated calling system. I don't know.

I used Skype and had the same message, but after few attempts finally got through.
Try Google Voice or another messenger. Prepaid phone cards, as Civeng mentioned, also worked for her.
Asking somebody to call from local phone within Canada also seems like a good idea.
I remember, somebody here mentioned, that you are get connected to another operator if calling from Canada.

Try different options.

Jygzzy, seems like this problem might be another topic for Q&A section of your blog. Many people are experiencing the same problems while calling CIC.

Dear Newest Member :

I think this question has been asked quite a few times and I believe this is the answer.

Allotting of UCI # is done at the very initial level of completeness at CIO. Basically the moment the CIO officer takes control of the file they allot the UCI # but at this stage it is manual process and usually handwritten on the file itself ( If you don't have already) . I am very much sure because those who have received their returned file because of incompleteness at early stage see it on their file. Of course this UCI # must have been generated by the computer but not specifically for that candidate just consider it as a token when you go to passport office.

If the file passes the completeness and MI check then at this stage the file is entered in the computer system and at this stage you will be able to see the UCI ####-#### in ECAS and a file no. starting with E********* is generated at the same time. Also UCI# then becomes candidate specific meaning it will remain same for every dealing with CIC of the same person while file # will keep on changing with every application.

To answer your question if the file is returned because of incompleteness at the initial stage you might see the UCI on the physical file but nothing on the ECAS. However, remember that even when you see the UCI# on ECAS nothing is final. There are so many checks going on in the background and final thing is confirmed with the PER.

Also a point to remember is Rejection of the file and Returning the file because of incompleteness are two different aspects. If there is Rejection you will see something on the ECAS such as "Decision made" meaning we have decided to reject the application for reasons written on the rejection letter accompanying the returned file. You might see "In Process" before you see "Decision made" on the rejected file.

While Returning the file from CIO is just because of Incompleteness --- > nothing on ECAS.

I have tried to explain in plain terms from my own experience with my past filling. I hope others will get benefit out of it.

Enlightened?? If yes then do not hesitate to press +++++

Good Luck to all

Great info Pepto!

Seniors,

Just a question… Now that I got my CC charged, how long will PER take? I noticed in spreadsheet its between 2-20 days (huge variance!!)

And CC being charged means that my documents are complete and accepted?
Now when the file reached VO, I’ll then get PER?

Can someone walk me through the various stages, please? I know this has been discussed earlier too, but I can’t seem to find the link.
Thank you for your help.

I have completed Master's Degree in Information Technology and Computer Communication from M.G university(Kottayam,Kerala).But in my ECA report by WES gven me as Canadian Equivalency Summary - Bachelor's Degree(4 years) only.
What should i do ?

If it still gets you above 67 points then you should not worry about this and file immediately.

Yeah,I hve submitted Bachelor's and Master's Degree details to WES


Dear REGINABABU, I think you need to send a detailed query to WES asking them why they have evaluated only upto Bachelor (4 year). I hope you'll get reply within 2 weeks max. from WES. Meantime, takes IELTS ones more and get ready with your all docs. dont loose hope.

we hope u'll get favorable response from WES. :)

I am also a 21st May applicant and my mode of payment is also DD. As far as your question regarding call from canada, yes you can share your details with your family member because cic will perform the verification on calls to make sure that this is applicant who is calling. They will ask ur first name, last name, date of birth, place of birth or email id. Please do let me know if u get any update.

Dear Paradise Island person, if you are male then perhaps your sister calling may not be appropriate as they expect the applicant to call. Seniors?

WOW ! Which university ?? Perhaps I would recommend my kids to there ;D

Regards..

Belarusian state university of informatics and radioelectronics. Faculty of Computer-Aided Design, specialisation: Electronic Computer Engineering. Solid education I should say, but I wouldn't recommend sending your children to Belarus though lol.
