Is anyone else super nervous about what their decision is going to be? I'm just thinking about all the stress going through an appeal and having to work things out would cause and its making me soooo nervous!

Life would be so much easier if it was just approved and we could move forward smoothly!

I have enough stress in my life already without having to add this as well!
hi i feel so nervous too lol.. i hope everthing is ok, coz i passed the old certificate of employment from my previous company im taking the risk i hope this would not cause a problem.

This is actually not true. It's a common misunderstanding due to the wording on the CIC website. matthewc, creator of the e-CAS automatic tracker, explains this here: http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/is-ecas-updated-only-on-tuesdays-t47537.0.html;msg455282#msg455282.

His post on another forum about the frequency of e-CAS updates by day and hour: http://www.roadtocanada.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=2640&pid=50402#pid50402.

Short version (quoted from matthewc's post): "Conclusion: It actually looks like early Monday morning (between 2am - 6am EST) is the most common time for updates to show up, but updates do happen every day." So if you don't get an update on a Tuesday or Thursday, don't worry; it doesn't mean you can't get an update on some other day that week. It really can be any day of the week.

Cheers....The Mrs gave them a call today and the chap on the phone told her the approval was made on the 12th, this was a tad slower then some others one here as it was signed for on the 6th but it's been approved now and thats what really matters.

Ecas hasn't yet refreshed with the DM so you guys might have to wait a lil while also before the online service is updated after getting approvals....

No, if im not mistaken your talking about Child Tax benefits, this was government benefit not assistance.

this might help you to file your baby's child tax
