Hey pelipeli, congrats! Wish you guys a great start in Canada!

I'm wondering if I should be concerned? Our eCAS shows only our mailing addresses. No home address for me (sponsor) or him (the main applicant). Just mailing addresses. I have tried logging in with my UCI number, and with his file number. Still no home address. Any thoughts?

hi, the home address (Canadian city and province) will show up in the applicant's ecas when the status is already DM. If you are still in the PPR stage, it will only show the mailing address from the applicant's home country.

as for the sponsor's ecas, it should show home address (complete canadian address) at this stage. I have seen my home address there since I got approved as sponsor...

btw I sent you a PM =)

Hi Pelipeli, well, I see my complete mailing address, no home address. With his file number, I see his complete mailing adress, no home address. I have a link to update my mailing adress. He doesn't. I just hope it's gonna be quick and smooth.

Congrats again! Got your message. No worries :)

Yup... 3 years na ako dito saka may work naman ako...kaya nakakalimutan ko na may application kmi. pero ha...sobrang tagal talaga as in! When I first contacted the cic agents to ask about PR application about spousal sponsorship... the agent did not mention about the OUTLAND application... Late ko na nalaman na may ganun pala... kaya heto, di ako makalabas ng Canada...huhu! kahit may work permit ako :(
