Thank you Asivad Anac

Hi Asivad,

I have submitted my app on last week of May deferring X-Ray for spouse.
I am aware that its on hold however I hv noticed on ECAS status being changed from "In Process" to "Application Received".

Would like to get your thoughts on the reasoning behind this status change.

Thx..

ECAS status change protocol remains a partial mystery under EE (to me at least) because there still isn't any discernible flowchart that perfectly correlates to the status updates and CIC hasn't provided an ECAS flowchart exclusively for EE. But it does appear to follow the In Progress > Application Received > In Process > Decision Made route.

The status is In Progress with 2 lines (application received on XX date AND started processing on YY date) when one first gets access presumably corresponding to the file upload in GCMS, it changes to Application Received when Medicals Pass and a 3rd line is added (Medicals received), changes to In Process when background check is nearing completion/application is deemed complete on program eligibility/PPR about to be granted and Decision Made after passport is returned to the applicant. That seems to be the broad logic behind the timelines.

I'm not sure why yours moved in the opposite direction. Possibly because your medicals is still partially completed. Do you have 2 lines or 3?

Or did you inadvertently confuse between In Progress and In Process?

You'll get a personalized checklist post ITA. This is what the generic checklist looks like.

No changes at all since then to MyCIC or ECAS. Hope the Friday trend seen for the past couple of weeks is for real and all of us get some good news soon!

Thank you. I see 2 lines in ECAS now and the dates I see there are totally wrong. I submitted my app in May and it shows March.
You are right. I may have seen "In progress" and confused that with "In Process"..

No need to get it notarized. That pdf or printout can be used.

2. I am not able to get Reference letter from company mentioning hours of duty, mentioning roles and responsibility in standard format on company letterhead even at best try. Will it ok if I prepare affidevit and get the same notorised. in addition I can provide recent promotion letter, salary slip, bonus letter, online generated employment letter, taxation paper, visiting card, reporting manager visiting card. kindly advise.

Yes. That will be the best thing you can do if the organization doesn't give you the required information on their letterhead. Add a letter of explanation highlighting all your efforts at trying to secure this document but not being able to get the same because your organization wasn't supportive.

Isn't it slightly early in the day? If I remember correctly, last Friday we saw those changes much later in the day. Can't do anything but wait. Till someone announces their good news and starts the trend!

don't really know at what point of day was it last week as most of us were caught pleasantly off guard!
However the ppl who moved ecas in process before us took a good 10 days to get PPR.. We are expecting it in 7

I understand that the principal applicant has a restriction to work/stay in a province who nominates him/her...however, is this applicable to dependents aswell?
