We won't know for sure till it goes live next week. I'm assuming this will take the place of GCMS notes, but it also wouldn't surprise me if it's just as useless as the current eCAS system.


As mentioned above, last week May 11th there were some PPRs for early september applicants; since then nothing else.
Crazy Canadian.... Have you received AOR from Manila yet?

Hi November Family!

We got decision made on ECAS today, and hopefully my husband can pick up their passports this morning!

I wish everyone still waiting speedy resolutions on their files. I know from personal experience what it's like to see people hearing from CIC with no movement on your own case. Stay in faith! Your time is coming too!

any news for MANILA Applicants? whew, getting frustrated. thanx guys! hope we can get all our decisions soon.
The first two weeks of september 2015 received PPR's last wednesday. Since then there's no news. Don't expect anything for a while yet. Manila seems to work mostly in order (unless your case is complicated, in which case it gets delayed).

Hello everyone. Just wondering, once passport is submitted, how long does it usually take, on average, before the applicant gets it back?

Thank you :)

Hello. Just wanted to ask how long is the validity of your CoPR? :) Does it differ from each Visa Office or is it the same with everyone else's?

Thank you. :)

Hi :) mine is valid until the expiry date of my medical tests( so one year since they were done), so the end of october. I think it's that way for everyone, unless your passport expires before the medicals do.
