Doesn't the Date modified at the bottom of ECAS refer to a generic update to the CIC's webpage and not our individual progress?

I am pretty sure it means a stylistic change (change to look and feel). Most of those revisions are pretty small, so there wouldn't be a big change. Could even be a change to mobile and not PC browser displays (then no one would notice the difference).

But yes, that date is not in any way tied to any case whatsoever.

For those keeping track, my wife and I have yet to see any movement at all. Still no GCMS PR case notes (and the MP's office is scheduled to call before Dec 2 to update me on our case -- they will be in for a surprise). I told those who were watching, that I would guess Nov 15. Dead wrong I guess (unless somehow we get a landing letter tonight). Here is what ECAS says:
Sponsorship Application:
1. We received your application to sponsor MS PROFILER on March 2, 2016.
2. We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s) on May 13, 2016.
3. We started processing your application on May 28, 2016.

PR Application:
1. We received MS PROFILER's application for permanent residence on March 2, 2016.
2. Medical results have been received.

myCIC is reporting case is Open, Meds Passed, BG Check still in progress, and no change to any of the other fields.

Given no movement, I guess the sample size is too small, and Linear Regression isn't quite enough. I have been looking at other methods to process the details, and it seems that a statistical algorithm known as "Exploratory Data Analysis" may prove to bear more fruit in identifying work patterns from CIC. They use this method heavily in data mining to identify patterns in chaotic data (eg: dating sites who have heavy investment in personality questionnaires -- think eHarmony and friends). Whether it would work or not, or if it's worth the time to invest to try to import (massage) the current sheet into a form that can be used by software is something I am considering, and whipping something up to perform the analysis. The neat thing about this method, is it's a learning method. With time, the error margin continues to reduce. Which means the predictions get better.

So that said, I'd open it up to the community. To see if anyone would feel there would be a benefit to such an investment. I have been teetering on this point for months now, as to whether that would be something of use to the community or not. There really only seems to be little interest (one or two more active posters).

Hey Profiler,

I really appreciate the amount of thoughts and effort you put into this community!

It seems like it's a lot of work, though? Just wondering, do you think that finding a pattern using the current sample (I assume the spreadsheet) has too many externalities as there are lots of changing factors (events, new regulations, etc) with time and that all of it should be taken into account (and quantified)?

Not a statistician by all means, so sorry if it doesn't make sense to you.

How long do you think I should wait before I can try to link the application to the account? It says should be about maybe 24 hours?

I think you either enter your (the sponsor) information or the applicant (spouse) information in order to link?

Thanks for your feedback!

I'm not either. But the exploratory data analysis just reports back patterns. Its up to whatever injests that data to cut off outlyer data. Stuff that doesn't fall into the norm.

By no means would it be perfect, but it would filter many externals.

Probably not for a few weeks. The paper application they have to validate an application actually exists before entering any data to GCMS.

Depends on where she is from and if you wanted to apply inland or outland (outland she can remain in Canada on TRVs like study and work permits).

Outland you may not have enough time, so she would need to apply to "entend her stay as a visitor".

If you don't mind the wait, inland has the expectation that your wife remains in Canada while they process the application. For that, you can submit an application with her PR application for an Open Work Permit. They will issue that within 4 months and is good for 2yrs (or to one month before her passport expires -- which ever is sooner).

Both have advantages and disadvantages. Inland they caution people not to leave Canada as the CBSA can choose (for any reason) to refuse re-entry. This could render her application abandoned if CIC chooses. Outland takes less time usually, but you have to keep renewing TRVs. Also if they request an interview, she would need to head home for that.
