I didn't get notification by the tracker when we went into process so I have been checking eCas. Still says in process but I do hope you are right and we are just behind you! Trying not to get my hopes up too much though!

Don't worry. This e-cas update means you have been successful. London don't seem to send letters but will email you to the applicant's email address if provided. This can take a while, so be patient. It will give you your file number and instructions on how to submit your passport. My email took more than a week to arrive after the e-cas update..... Congratulations, you've done it!
I think eCas just does strange things some times. I never received any emails from CIC in London, I only received the actual letter and was never able to log onto eCas at all. You may just be waiting for the letter now!

Update for me, I landed on 25th February via Sweetgrass, Montana, and it was very simple and easy and took all of about 15 mins. I was a bit nervous but it was a bit anti climatic really. After telling American immigration I wanted to flagpole, they gave me a piece of paper and sent me back to Canada immigration and then went inside where I went to immigration section of the Canadian border.

There was no one else waiting, I gave the IO my passport and Corp which is the other doc I got sent from London then they told me to wait for about 5 mins when she did some stuff on the computer and then asked me to confirm my name was all spelt right and asked me for an address for my card to be sent to and checked I was the principal applicant and didn't have any dependants or any other husbands (I said no, one was enough - LOL).

Then I had to sign it twice, she stapled one of the sheets to my passport and sent me over to another person where I filled out my goods to follow list (I didn't take one with me) and that was done in 2 mins and that was it.

All up took about 15 mins and that was it. Said I should apply for my SIN and will have PR card within about 4 weeks although it says 90 days. I have been working on getting the rest of my docs through now, have applied for Heathcare, got my temporary driving licence, just waiting for my Alberta licence to come through now and will be applying for SIN on Monday.

It looks like things are moving quite quickly through London at the moment, so good luck for everyone who is still waiting and great landing for those who are just waiting for that now!

don't know about ecas. Seems everyone is checking everyday.
From what I can tell, London mostly email, but some letters.
2 weeks if you drop it in person, and around 3 weeks if you post it (based an a very small survey of members of this forum).
