Hi She,
I'm sorry, It won't allow me to reply to personal messages. I have been meaning to update you all on our status. According to ecas they started processing our application on October 13. It said decision made on October 15, but now it has switched to "In process" again. When I click on the link that says "In process", it says a decision has been made and we will be contacted regarding our application. So, I'm assuming we just have to wait for the visa?!
I talked to one of my friends who is sponsoring her Thai husband here. She has hired a representative to help her with the process, and he told her that the ecas website is automatically updated or something like that. So, the information there isn't always accurate (ie: the fact that ours now says in process again). To be honest, I have found ecas to be VERY unhelpful the whole time as it really hasn't given me any information on the status of our application. I was a little worried when it switched back to in process, but I think the visa is on it's way--fingers crossed!
I hope everyone here gets their visas soon so we can all be with our families for Christmas!
