Nice. Both of you E-cas change to Decision Made already? I know TruongAn already but how about you papai001.
I just check, mine was not there >:( >:(

My ecas shows 'Decision made". It was updated on Nov 20. I am not sure why did they take so long time? Bit worried.

hahaha you are one minute after me. Anyway, good to know decision made means visa has been stamped and the immigration completed their part. when decision is made we can no longer inquire them.

you already send them email and they didnt say anything abt correspondance because when i send them email to enquire they said in email about correspondance send out to me .so i think they didnt send any correspondance to you till date.dont worry and try to not bug them with your emails.if they need something they will contact you.

Actually I never got replies from Kathy, I emailed her several times in Catherine's absence to follow up my document status. But Sam was able to communicate with Kathy quite fast. Maybe she decides to answer important or delayed cases only!

However I did always receive replies from Catherine, the manager, maybe 3 times at least, she is a nice lady and she responds quite quick. One time Catherine told me on her email we all get frustrated sometimes so that is quite alright for me to be a bit impatient.

But like Raj said, they have their jobs to do too they have hundreds of files and passports going through their desks everyday for review/approval. I guess they are waiting for your background checks. What you can do is to request GCMS. This document will reveal most of the current info on your file. And it's free, easy to obtain if you are in Canada.

yeah i think it is about the right time for you to inquire as to why the decision has not yet been made, let alone getting in line for visa issuance.
