I tried to log in ECAS but apparently it doesn't allow me since I don't have AOR. I've been working under open work permit so I do have a client number but they haven't charged me yet.
It is pretty obvious that all Dec applicants will get their files back, it may take sometime though,
Btw express entry is very difficult unless if you have a masters degree, 10 years experience in your field and arranged job offer. Even CEC is impossible, I have friends who got rejected while having a job in Canada. They don't care even if you have a full time job with open/close work permit.
