Application # starts with E00......

Application: *E00008x632*

UCI: 82504940
*82xx4940*

Application: *E000081632*
FILE No Starts with: B05xx33430

In my opinion, applicants r mixing with application # and File No.

File # that start with B is your physical/paper file and file # starts with E is your electronic file. When the file is fully loaded in Caips/GCMS., it is alloted an E# to denote eloectronic file #, however ECAS should be accessible with both numbers. It could possibly be a temp glitch where ECAS can't be accessed via E#.

file number and application number are the same thing.....even in ecase drop down box.....(These emails r change in file number/application number from B****** to E*****) ......UCI is a separate thing and is same since start...

One interesting thing I noted: the email I got is from "client-update-mise-a-jour @ cic.gc.ca......this sounds like a very FRENCH email address :) hmmmm....

Another weird thing...this new E****** file number , I cannot access my ecase with it either....
Hmmmmm you started making me thinking now

mise-a-jour is french for update, so nothing from french visa office as canada is bilingual country. I do not see the point of new file number if no one can access application status. Just another lollypop from CIC.

Yea, instead of sending MR on our BFD, they AGAIN send us a lolli-pop :) and on top of that "its a lolly-pop that doesn't even work" (on ecas) :) I guess they r just updating/upgrading their system from CAIPS to GCMS. But quite a retarded updation, if it doesn't work on ecase...chalo...let's see...

P.s: I know e-mail was from london...since it had london CHC wala address at the end of the mail....just that I had never seen this email address before.
 
Dear all
I do not think CIC staff is on strike, a day before i got mail for change of file number. Today i received confirmation mail for change in particulars, against my yesterday mail.

Bro, does your new E**** file number work on ecase ? Mine does not...even though the old B*** file number and uci work.

They just realized that they have to send you the AOR. I browsed about the address and it is the automated AOR from GCMS

I think you will be getting something because Zalteef is not a holder of 18 month letter and neither he got UDR and he has the same email and they have to send him something too so the rest you figure it out

Logically you are right it seems that this new E file number has nothing to do with delay but could be a standard procedure the only thing hopefully we will start receiving MR by end of August and if there is no good news by then I would request all August BFD holders to apply GCMS again on 1st sep to the see next BFD/ comments/ updates in their files as CSE is not allowed for us till we complete 18 months
1/3 time is over but still we can't wait for one year of waiting pain...
So if we work all as a team and all apply for CAIPS and share the info the. We can easily figure out when we can expect next step / VISA at a later stage...
This process should only start if no one get MR in August....
How many of you agree (with me / support me) on this idea!

Yup, this E-file number is "neither a good sign, nor a bad sign".....and it has nothing to do with processing time of your application....it just means they r updating their system to electronic database (probably from caips to gcms, which in my case does not work, so quite an ODD update/upgrade)....

Good idea about caips/gcms though...was discussing same with arsh/zeeshan on phone yesterday that if no one gets MR in aug 2013 (as I keep saying), besides sending lara boys+myself, a 'beautiful' wala sms, I think caips/gcms would give an idea what's the next BFD.

Oh...by the way ! Eid Mubarik to u bro, and to ALL us forum-ites!!
