Hi there

Through this forum I found out that the updates on the ECAS system are made on Tuesdays. However I don't know what time on Tuesdays - if there even is a specific time. Today is Tuesday in Switzerland, however it's not Tuesday in Canada, yet. Does anyone know if there is a specific time where the updates are made?

I also read that you shouldn't trust ecas too much because it happened before that the online status never changed but people got the ppr already.

Any knowledge to the topic would be appreciated.

Thanks.

eCAS is updated on all days.
Tuesday has been a popular day for updates.
There is no set time.

try signing up for the e-cas tracker: https://ecas.carroll.org.uk/

that way you don't have to obsessively check it all the time! it will automatically check it every 1/2 hour or so, and will email you when it changes.
