Good Day!
This is in response to your request for an update on the status of your application. We do our best to make sure everyone who has applied to immigrate to or visit Canada is provided with effective and efficient service. We receive an enormous amount of correspondence daily. Although we would like to respond to all of it, we recognize that it takes resources away from processing applications, which leads to longer processing times. As a result, we do not provide detailed replies to applicants requesting a status update on their application.
Applicants for permanent residence may check the basic status of their application on the Citizenship & Immigration Canada (CIC) website: Client Application Status:
https://services3.cic.gc.ca/ecas/?app=ecas&lang=en
Applicants can also check the Processing Times page on our website for information about how long it takes for applications in the same category to be finalized:
http://www.canadainternational.gc.ca/india-inde/visas/processing_times-durees_traitement.aspx
Please note that changes in the volume of new applications received and in the resources available to process them can lead to shorter or longer processing times. Some applications, owing to their complexity, take longer to process than others. Processing could be delayed by any of the following factors:
- An interview is required
- The applicant has not complied with a request for documents or information
- We are awaiting the results of background checks or verifications
- A medical examination and/or treatment is required
Applications are processed in the order in which they were received. If any action is required on your part, we will contact you using the contact information you have provided on your application.
If there has been a change of your marital status, family configuration, or address, you may update your application, but we request that you send a signed request by mail, fax, or scanned e-mail attachment (see our contact information below).
Please provide the following information in all correspondence with our office:
- the subject of your message
- applicant’s full name (SURNAME, Given names)
- date of birth (dd/mm/yyyy)
- country of citizenship
- file number or UCI
- telephone number, including area code,
- mailing address,
- email address
If you are making an enquiry on behalf of a friend or relative, please note the Canadian Privacy Act prohibits the disclosure of personal information from our files without the written consent of the person concerned. Information may only be disclosed to a Canadian Citizen or permanent resident specifically named by that person, or to an authorized representative. See
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/representative/index.asp for further details.
We thank you for your patience and for keeping your correspondence to a minimum to help us serve you better.

Could it be possible that they have actually started BGC without posting any update on ECAS or GCKEY accounts?
