I was able to login and check my status until yesterday but since this morning I cannot access it. I am sure my information is correct. I even tried all other identification types, but the system does not identify me anymore. CIC call center doesn't even forward me to an agent.

Anyone had a similar issue? What could be the reason?

Perhaps they are doing updates to your status? In which case it might take some time to process the change, so I would not worry too much.

I guess, there were similar technical issues happened to all applicants before and mentioned in this forum. But weird thing is, this time it only happens to me :( Let's hope they are changing my status

Maybe they are doing updates to several files, but others did not notice because it was done overnight or something. I would not worry too much. They just sent us AOR so it is unlikely that at this stage there is something serious happenning with your file...they probably have not even had time to look at it in detail.

Nope, I never click on that :( I still do not have access. I start to worry about it. Maybe I should use the web form to submit a technical issue. I don't think call center will help me before the 12 months processing time ends.

i think you can call them.. for sure they can check it for you.. you are not asking for your status.

I called CIC finally. They say my file is in transit to Montreal processing office and that might be the reason for my ecas access issue so I should try again next week.
I don't really understand why transitting my file should cause this problem but anyways, i hope things will be better soon.

Did you by any chance click the button "Remove website access to my application status and address information" which is under the part "in process"?

Any news? Is it working? I am trying not to check this ECAS too often these days so that these small technical glitches do not give me more grey hairs. I already have enough for now :D

Still not accesible. I don't wanna worry about it but I do. As applicants are going to "In Process", I am going backwards and can't even access to my ecas :(
I will wait until next week and then submit an enquiry for Tecnical Diffciulties.
