Maybe you can call the Call Centre? I can't login in with my husband's UCI or our Application number, but I can log myself in with the Application number. (Haven't tried my client ID# yet.) Weirdness.

However, my husband can log himself in. From his phone of all places.

Sometimes, I think CIC gets a kick out of screwing with us..........
You mean that if you use the application number + input your husband's personal info (surname, DOB, place of birth), then you can't login? Whereas if you put the application number + input YOUR personal info, then you can login?

If I were to call the call centre, how would they possibly try to help me though? I guess they'd probably ask my name, and try to find my package (which can potentially still be buried amongst thousands of others?) I was thinking the receipt number might work, but then the receipt is inside the package, so they wouldn't be able to identify my package from the outside, using the receipt number... =/

Hehe, the Call Centre won't physically find your package, but they can look in their database and may be able to confirm it arrived. I don't know if they are allowed to give you your Application number over the phone, but you could ask.

Yes, basically logging into Ecas is a gamble. We've tried two different computers and both our phones. We get different results each time. I suspect the server doesn't have much room and it's bogged down with people freaking out over the outage. (AKA, logging in frequently to see if its fixed yet, tying up the little room the server does have, then complaining it's not working.... yes I think USERS are a big part of the problem right now!) (But I don't dare post that on their thread.... :p I have enough negative posts!)

I would give the Call Centre a ring. If you're polite and explain you haven't gotten AOR, but all your friends who applied the same have - and you just want to confirm your application is there, I'm sure they will try to help you. The agents have always been very friendly and nice to me. (I am very polite with them of course!)

Alright I called the call centre...miraculously I was able to reach someone, even though I had to wait for almost 20 minutes :p.

She asked me when my package got there, and I told her 30 January according to tracking, and according to her, it's normal that I haven't got my AOR since it takes up to 55 days, and other than that, she wasn't able to help me...

Not exactly what I wanted to hear, especially knowing that many January applicants already got their AOR... :eek:

I guess I can only wait......*sigh*

So finally I got to talk to this nice lady from the CIC and she tells me I got approved as a sponsor on January 24th!

I never got the approval e-mail and my ecas still says in process :mad:

Anyway, it's good news.

What info did you use to access ECAS if you haven't received an AOR? Was it your receipt number?
