kambal82 also got his PPR today
Thanks for the update, added to the sheet ;)
So to be even more correct for inlanders statistics (based on the database sheet), it's 12 PPRs on 25 CEC applicants + 8 PPRs on 29 FSW applicants. ;)

Congratulations to all those who have received their PPR recently.

I Excel Spreadsheet is really cool and it helps see the movement among different cases!

Please consider adding my application - As you will see in my signature, my timeline is a bit long considering my ITA since Feb but I got delayed because of the cancellation.

I hope that things will continue to move smoothly as it has been since the reopening!

-- IMPORTANT QUESTION regarding ECAS --

Just noticed today in ECAS. Used to be just "current mailing address" in the right upper corner, now it's just "current home address" in the left upper corner.
Did anyone else notice the same thing ? Is it case specific or a general CIC website update ?

Could anyone else INLAND with an AOR in April check their ECAS (on their computer) and verify their address display so we can confirm it's either a general CIC website update or a case specific one ?

Please indicate whether you see "current mailing address" or "current home address" :D

Thanks ! ;)

I only see mailing address, at the right side (my mailing address is the same as home address, don't know if that would make any difference)

Hi, so I checked as well, I only have mailing address, that's it, and my status on ECAS has no moved to decision made, I know CIC received the passport copies and bio data yesterday at 1130 so maybe it's done.

Once more CIC has proved that the logic behind updating ECAS and MyCIC statuses is "to have no logic at all"

If we were to quantify the number of different processing patterns here, I would say it is close to the number of applicants itself :p
Each application is moving in a different way. Of course we see some similarities along the way, but in comparison to the old process (that people would have a spreadsheet with expected dates for each of the stages of the process, and by those dates they would actually receive the updates/requests), the new process is a real black box... ::)

But I guess we can't complain. Things are moving, not as fast as we expected, but they are moving.
The old process had 5 to 10 years to be optimized to the point that all dates were well defined. The new process has been around for only 7 months now. I'm sure that in a year or so, applicants will experience a much smoother system ;D

- My take on it...

Hi Estantos,
Based on your experience, I am predicting that there will be a lot of applications (especially those April AORs) that would have had their VOs concluded their applications but waiting to make sure it's not too early to send decisions to them. You know like when you are in an office and concluded your work but you don't want everyone to think that you are too forward.
There was a 5 weeks wait for ITA in May so I don't want to believe that they would be very burdened with applications.
Also, they have doubled the number of ITAs recently, making me believe that they are not very burdened, after all EE was designed to control the number of applications they receive rather than the old system.
