Sometimes I cannot help myself. Not that I am disputing what Sam is saying. I dispute what the Airline was stating. Either it was massaged into more "people-speak", or they are feeding the public a line. "Oh, the cord fell out".... Really??? In a "secured" data centre? I have never seen a data centre that doesn't have a secured door. So, do the staff who had access not know what they were doing?

This is a very deep rabbit hole. You should see the one that I have developed for CIC/IRCC/SSC. It's like a black hole that ends somewhere in the Gamma Quadrant of the Universe....

Thanks for the update.

I have made 5 calls to CIC today, but was unable to reach an agent. The auromated systems says, the eligibility review has not started yet, medicals are being reviewed (despite them sending me a request for medicals on 30 May 17...I had already done upfront medicals last year).

They are processing aplliapplications received before 21 April 16. Let's see...will wait for their email.

For me is the same status in MyCIC. I did my medicals 10 days ago and still doesnt show in ECAS that is received....in MyCIC I have status that results are being reviewed, but that status was there from the moment they send me a medical request....

And how come it takes IRCC so long to correct this type of mistake? If they know that it's a mistake and they know their clients are panicking. Especially clients those who do not access this forum. And they know that they are now inundated with calls to their call center. Why not just alleviate the panic and go back to before the mistake and then try again?

Profiler, I know I would not understand but I would be interested to see the one you developed for IRCC.

I have not been able to link my application yet. No response to my CSE message yet, neither am I able to talk to an agent.

Solely reliant on their emails.

As, many other participants on the forum advised, just being patient, hoping good news are around the corner.

If I was a betting person, I would have to guess that they performed an update to their "database" that both myCIC and the automated attendant are connected to. (NOTE: Not GCMS. This is still functional, as this will be where they are getting information from currently)

They likely performed blanket "updates" to the status "fields" (or cells, if you think in terms of spreadsheets), without performing a data-dump (backup) before hand. Maybe adding more informative descriptions? Who knows...

Continuing down that rabbit hole, if this is the case, they then allowed staff to continue working with the updated data for several days now. Without a "golden copy" to revert back to, or a pre and post update "dump" that you can collect differences on, you only have a handful of options:

- Restore from the last good backup. This has a major problem, as it would have the same psychological effect on patrons.
- Leave the system as is. Massaging, by hand, any patron who calls or writes in to inquire.
- Or, the Ostrich.

It would appear either 2 or 3 is what's happening.

In this case, I suspect that it's SSC and not IRCC. If it is IRCC, then they really are pretty slow to notice such a dramatic failure.

I really appreciate the explanation. Thank you.

Not a problem.... but it's just a guess. Albeit educated. I've never worked for CIC/IRCC or SSC. So I can only guess, right? But I have seen enough to know that this is a very likely scenario.

*waits for CSE or CSIS to come knocking*...

This is currently my situation along with a question. I resubmitted Schedule A and a new passport copy (they requested it as my schedule A was incomplete again and my passport sent with the application expires in July) Since there's a super backlog on the webform submissions, what happens to documents requested then specifically asked to submit via the webform when completed?

1. Is that going to be in the long queue already in the backlog or

2. will they be able to skip through some and have a look at the documents requested before the 30 days usual timeline?

No one really knows. Only the staff who service the webform requests can tell you. My guess: the officers for your case would be able to see there is a message in the queue. They would just wait for when it was finally attached and processed before continuing. Each webform submission has a submission time and date. Also, CIC does build in the inherent extension. Just in case you need to request an extension, they already pad the 30 days. So, no worries. Just wait it out...

I agree. We sent a CSE in March 2017 and we got the "we will pass it on to the appropriate officer" response last week. The only way to know for sure is to order GCMS notes (take 30 days) to see if/when the file has been updated.
