ECAS is not always accurate. Getting an interview invite does not mean that all other checks were completed and passed. Background checks can be run after the test. This is evidenced by the fact that several applicants were asked to provide FPs after their test. And some received RQs.Sorry, but are you sure? I ask this because my ecas still shows “IP” and we already had the interview. My file doesn’t show anything about interview and my partner (principal applicant) shows DM.
If it’s the way your are saying, mine would have to have the line “invited for test / interview” although I got the invitation (and it doesn’t show on ecas).
So... I am guessing (just a guess) that they don’t always update the ecas of all family members, only the main applicant...
