Any of the January applicants able to access e-cas yet?

How long does it normally take?
I have tried so many times to access ecas and I have been unable to. If anyone has, please let us know. It is quite frustrating actually but then again, I only have an AOR ::)

ok good. so did you guys sent a relationship essay which talked about your relationship from start to present?
Nope. When I think about how badmh husband spells... Not a good idea.

We sent handwritten cards we'd given each other over the years. I filled out the box provided on the form. That was it. We lived together and share healthcare and benefits. I think that says enough.

that's good to hear. I was really lazy to make the relationship essay, and to think we already outlined our relationship in our answers. :D

Did you put any other relationship proofs tho?
My friend just filed 1 picture of their wedding and that's all. When CEM wanted more proof/photos, they just asked them to send some more.

Don't worry too much. I don't think you are in trouble. They will let you know if they need some more proofs.

I don't think so. I had more proofs I could've sent (like copies of my journal). But my application was 5cm thick. As I've mentioned before, the lady at Canada Post told me it was too much. :p

Alright, I am a lil bit relieved...I have been having sleepless nights wondering if I left something out or if I sent my package in too early...gosh, I am a basketcase but I am so grateful for all the support I get from this forum. You guys are super-duper amazing!!! :D

Re: Proof

Just after my husband sent our application package, I suddenly remembered all the little odds and ends I could have included in our application. So many, "I could have written this," "I could have added that," and "I forgot to say this and put in that." The first few days were horrible. I didn't have a relationship essay, just wrote a three page development of relationship answer. Most of our proof is Skype and communication archives and more than a hundred photos. You could almost see the "evolution" of our faces from cute university freshmen to a mature, married couple (I'm still cute btw :p lol just kidding ::))

You're added! Do you happen to know what date CIC got the application? It would be in your AOR email. (It won't update the 'days from' fields without!)

Gratz on Stage 1!!!!

Same honors for updating my stage 1 approval as well! Got it 1h ago!
:)

Our file is being transferred to cpp-Ontario instead of the beirut visa office.

Any idea why? I'm guessing that's a good thing!
Same with my file Ottawa instead of Beirut
