Sorry.. dats y half msg.. i m also confused what i m saying
Actually i applied for my husband on july 19th..
So when i receive my file number?

You'll receive the file number in AOR/acknowledgement of receipt of your application letter. It can take anywhere between 1-3 weeks or so depending on how busy CPC Mississauga is. Usually people get it in 10-15 days. Check the excel spreadsheet to get a better idea. Here's the link:

When background starts, will it update on both ecas and gckey or just gckey?

In my case background check is showing in progress on GcKey since Oct, 2016. but ecas has never been updated with background information for all these months. so i'd say only GcKey gets updated with this info

Good luck !!!!

let's see what others say .. i want to know from someone who applied using the new package after dec 2016 ..

Are there no applicants using the new package after Dec 2016? I want to know when their backgrd check started, what changed? gckey AND ecas OR just one of the online tools?

Thank you .. :)

Alhamdulillah yes here is my details

BG in process 3rd july 2017

Remed done 16 july 2017
DM 22 july 2017
PPR 28 july 2017

I am praying(Duas) for every one.(Specially 2015 applicants)

Most peoples are asking or telling BG take time. I am in Dubai since 2011 and currently this is my 4th job i dont think they asked to my every employer. I think they just verify to the Police department only.

Admin Plz update the sheet.

Thank you every one for yours help (specially MM345 and AmyR)

I used the new kit released in December 2016, but now there's an even newer one lol. I don't think ECAS shows many updates other than the 3-4 lines about when the application was received and when it started processing, whether medical results were received, etc. Only GCKey shows whether eligibility, background check is in process and it doesn't even tell you when, you just have to keep logging in to check whether the status changed and then you'll know..

Can you please provide your timeline so you can be added to the 2017 spreadsheet?
 
@Anu_Shahid, @ahsenshah, @Green212 ..

Thank you so much for your reply. I just wanted to get a sense of understanding where to look at. I have been checking both online sites.
