Hi all, I received so many private message about checking your status on the EACS. Here is what you need to do:
Go to this link:
https://services3.cic.gc.ca/ecas/security.do
Chose "Using Unique Identification Number" (UCI), for you it will be on COPR doc, for your parent it will be FPC number on visa.
Enter only your last name or your parent last name
Enter the date of birth
Enter country of birth
If you enter your own UCI you will see that you have application to sponsor and it will show your address and also show your application as received and when you click on it you will see your parents names.
If you use your parent UCI you will only see "We received your Permanent Resident Application on 30 April".
Note that my application reached IRCC on 26 Apr but it only shown as received on 30 April.
I called IRCC last week and an agent said that once the receiving officer scan your barcodes, those will be updated into the systems. HOWEVER it does not mean that your case has passed the completion test, it will be much later 8-12 weeks depends on the case load and how busy the case processing officer is for the cases in her pile before you. Once she found your application completed, she will put into Processing and status changed to IN PROCESS. At that stage you are safe. However if your application is not complete, it will be returned and you can only express interest again next year. Your status will changed from Application Received to DECISION MADE and you will receive a rejection letter later together with the full package. The agent also warns that there can be many reasons an app be returned so must stick to the guide extremely carefully.
For those who worried that the app not shown in status, eCAS usually only update the status once a week, most often on Tuesday night.
