I've come to the conclusion by reading many many posts on this forum that ecas is basically useless! It seems to be updated randomly (usually on a holiday weekend, go figure) and seems to have little or no relationship to what is really going on with people's files!! ??? ??? It's really easy to get ourselves all in a knot over what it might mean or might not mean, when really it means nothing!!

I've stopped even looking at it, figure I'll hear something when I hear something!!!
Its been 3 months 3 weeks since i seen my husband last ...Im addicted to checking ECAS ...I cant help it ...its the only glimmer of hope i have at the moment ...

Well, I can understand that. My husband is here with me in Canada, so I guess I'm a bit less obsessive about it than I would be if I wasn't with him!! But I really don't think ecas is very accurate. I'm sure you'll be together very soon though!!! :D I don't think they'd change the ecas unless they actually made a decision! And the fact that they didn't ask for an interview or any other info is a very good sign I think!! But I know I'd probably be feeling the same as you right now, until you actually get the email or letter, you don't want to take anything for granted. But hang in there, I'm sure you'll be hearing something VERY soon ;D

Such wise words Kaycee1.....but they are from the same store as "I will never drink too much ever again" etc!

My partner checked ecas on Saturday morning (his weekly look) and announced that there was no update.....I didn't dare say that I look three times a day and had done but half an hour before he just did! lol

Same-sex, common-law. Not sure our case can be straightforward by definition! ;)

You'll note that those three are also the ones under the "new" system in Buffalo, where the AOR was sent when the file was received, rather than when it gets opened.

Judging from what we've seen on the Buffalo thread, we should be starting to get AORs this week.
