Etoile, you won`t be informed that your application was received by any ways, the only way to track it as you already did. You will see on e-cas once CPC-M will approve the sponsor and transfer your file to Paris. Unfortunately, there is not much of communication from CIC unless they want additional documents. Don`t worry if you see that they received it, everything is ok. For signing in to e-cas you need either your receipt number or your client-ID, which you know if you had a previous immigration document, like work permit. If not, use the receipt number with the sponsor`s name and birthday.
