Guys, if you wanna know if you your status changed to “DM”; check your application from this link.

https://services3.cic.gc.ca/ecas/authenticate.do
I am trying to use this service but it never worked for me!
Always give an error message saying " We were not able to identify you using the information you provided".
I am entering all information correctly as they appear in my online account and tried different variations of my name, but for no avail

Any idea why it is not working for me? and how to fix it?

p.s. I sent several emails to IRCC help desk and they provided no resolution.

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Ratmir and @Armaani, my mother's application status is same like yours now, however she received the 'Approval Letter ' way earlier on 2nd of November. It has been 'Decision Made ' for over a month now and no COPR. I've noticed some people get COPR on account without meeting, and others get an appointment letter. It's over a month now and no updates. Here is her timeline:

  1. We received your application for permanent residence on March 28, 2019.
  2. We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s) on August 10, 2019.
  3. We started processing your application on August 9, 2019.
  4. We sent you correspondence on July 11, 2019. If you have not yet provided the information or the requested documents, please do so as soon as possible. Please wait until you receive the correspondence before sending us additional information, as the correspondence will outline all information that is required.
  5. We sent you correspondence on October 22, 2019. If you have not yet provided the information or the requested documents, please do so as soon as possible. Please wait until you receive the correspondence before sending us additional information, as the correspondence will outline all information that is required.
  6. We sent you medical instructions on January 29, 2020. To avoid delays, please provide us the information requested in the letter as soon as possible. Please consider delays in mail delivery before contacting us.
  7. Medical results have been received.
  8. We sent you correspondence on November 2, 2020 about the decision on your application.

Thank you. Yes it is like on the one hand you waiting your application to be completed on the other hand you waiting like you are Pr but you are not. And if just send Pr comformation takes so long I imaginr how long could be Pr card itself.
Yesterday I sent webform message asking how long it could take cause i need to renew my RTD. Lets see what happens. Last time when I sent webform after 10 days received respond. Maybe this time will be not so long.


Many people here still waiting Approval letter. Hope you guys get it very soon. Even today we will have busy morning with a lot of Corps. Good luck to everyone.

You can use track your application online more than a month after the acknowledgement letter. I do not know when you applied but maybe your online account has not been opened yet.

The last one means your pr application is completed. You just have to wait for a letter from them mostly likely COPR. No specific time frame. some are still waiting after a month of theirs being completed.

Thanks yuki but why in my application nothing change and also they didn't send me DM thats really frustrating and making me more anxiety
No idea maybe your online profile just isn't updated. the received AIP & APPROVAL/DM letter but my online account only shows medical update and that my app is still in process but the other link says decision made. so yeah more than likely it just hasn't been updated.
