why my BGC still not start yet lol
Me neither! I keep logging into Ecas so I don't have to bug my partner to check GCKey (I think the whole thing stresses him out).

Our time will come :) I just keep telling myself that as long as we are processed in the average time, I really shouldn't care when the various steps happen.

I've never really used Ecas. Any time I try and check my application on there it just takes me to GCKey. Unless I'm being dumb :P Would they say different things if they are different means of checking applications?
 
My understanding (could be wrong!) is that Ecas is usually used by the sponsor, and GCKey by the applicant. As the sponsor, I have my own account there but I don't have a GCKey one. Maybe it's taking you the GCKey because you have an account with them? I log in with our application number and then my own name/birth date info. It doesn't show me the work permit application, but does show stuff like "We sent [principal applicant] mail on XYZ date" or "medical results have been received."

Oh okay that's probably why. I am the applicant. I do have a GCKey account and it seems easier to log in to in all honesty. Just a security question and a few boxes to click on. Really hoping it shows something soon. Getting really nervous now. :\

I'm getting nervous too! We have a similar timeline, so I guess maybe that's a good thing. Hopefully we'll hear something soon.
 
Yes very similar timeline indeed! Be interested if there are any more applicants from the first week of October who haven't received any news on their OWPs yet.
