Status removed from ECAS

[salmunsu]

still down

Congratss .. did you get ghost mail or something before your status change to DM or you directly got PPR without DM ?

Hey Hakiki, I had the same question, what does your MyCIC account look like. I logged in after a month and it said "updated". When i opened the application nothing was different. Everything was exactly like it was a month ago

ECAS is also down. STRESS

 

[terki]

guess it should be due to system maintenance - most of the applicants are facing the same issues ; time is essence

Someone from the FSW Outlanders thread got a reply yesterday from a CSE regarding ECAS access. CIC admitted it is a system failure and that they are working to get it back to everyone asap. We shouldn't worry about it.

That was an obvious response.........but like 3-4 weeks though? Geez..

Very strange that a major system (ECAS) is down for more than a month...
Or it has been taken down for a purpose... May be to hold the applications

We touched this issue a little bit and it sparked some controversy. My personal understanding is they have diverted ECAS servers to better serve growing number of refugee applications. Here is the proof of recent ECAS updates for them while none of us has had ECAS recently:

I have also observed that ECAS is working fine for other categories. As CIC has confirmed the technical glitch in their system, I presume only the EE candidates are facing the problem.

Anyone with ECAS access back ?

Not yet for me.

It also seems to be working for newer express entry applicants in November and December.

I'll be more concerned about PPR requests for July/August AORs at this stage rather than ECAS access. :

For the more recent AORs, yes ECAS access is important and gives you an idea of the progress of the application.

I think that when you submit your application, the officer is assigned and he initiates your process and during this time you get an ecas access. Preceeding this, he keep you in the queue and its during this time when you lose ecas access (bg checks not started or not needed at this time). Whenever the officer opens up your file to actually starts the process, ecas access is restored.

Just a wild theory to convince myself. Lol. It could just be a software glitch.
