Yes I did receive an e-mail from them but it's pretty generic:Donvalley said:Did you give an email address in your application? If yes, did you check emails, especially the junk folders regularly? Otherwise you might miss your AOR. As of now CIC is updating through multiple means i.e., email only, e-cas only etc.etc. Those who got email no e-cas update was done and vice versa.
As per CIC call center, they are opening(processing) applications received last week of July (July 21th on last Tuesday) now. Still there may be some applications stuck in the pileup somewhere. But if they send you an email AOR and suppose you miss it, you will not be able to see anything in e-cas even though it is "in process" now.
"Dear Client,

Your application has been received and is currently in queue awaiting assignment to an agent for processing.

I also received that e-mail from September 25th 2014 that includes an Application Number, but that really doesn't explain anything. Also, I never receive any e-mail in my spam/junk folder for the address I mention in the application.
The funny thing about that e-mail is that in the morning I sent a Case Specific inquiry about my application, and then a few hours later I received the e-mail reply. So I don't know if it's a coincidence or maybe I didn't know that I would get the confirmation e-mail and so I just sent it and it did not coincide with my inquiry. ??? :'(
