https://services3.cic.gc.ca/ecas/introduction.do?app=ecas by using my UCI number and personal info
- I did not bother my lawyer asking where my files is ( whether in Missisauga or Delhi ), and all that. It was a super quiet process. I have only 7 emails from him till now J
I know 99% of this group members chose to submit papers by themselves.You all are superheroes I must say. I was planning to submit papers by myself but then my work schedule changed and made it nearly impossible to do it by myself. So I chose to hire a lawyer. I must say hiring the lawyer was the best decision.He made my life easier. If you have plenty time to spare and patience, you can apply by yourself . J
- My wife or myself did not receive any emails from IRCC and all emails were directed to my lawyer
BELOW you can see all update I got on Client Application Status website by using my UCI number and personal info
