It won't get updated until sponsor gets AOR email. Only then do they input the information in the ecas system. We couldn't get ability to get on Ecas until a short time after we gotten AOR. Probably due to time needed for system to get updated once application info is entered.

The sponsor got the AOR email already, with the FN number on it. I tried but it doesnt work, so that means they send the AOR email before they input information in the system?

Yes, it appears to be the case. AOR being issued before they input information in the system. However your sponsor should have a UCI assigned in the AOR email as well. Have you tried signing in your sponsor?

Have you also tried using your CIC official receipt number. Usually starts with R#######

I managed to get on ecas using the receipt number as well.

I guess they didn't update the ecas system with your application yet. Sorry. I tried to help you with ways to get on ecas as best as I could.

Thank you so much for your help though. I guess I have to be more patient and wait for them to do things step by step, there is a long way ahead :)

It took us 6 months and a few days.
( I just got mine working today. even though they started processing mine application on March 14, 2013.)
