Hello Eagle333, My case is a new IP method and I have the 3 lines. ECAS says file started processing on July 27, 2015 (same day as file transfer to Manila) The processing line in ECAS didn't show up until early September. However, the applicant's passport was already requested on August 12...

May 2015 applicant here. Interesting, I'm surprised they actually told you it was queued for review. I've noticed that April-May-June 2015 applicants are all getting PPR at the beginning of processing, right after file transfer, rather than the traditional decision made, then PPR with visa...

Huh? Why Saturday? I thought ECAS is only updated on Tuesdays?

What is the difference between the 2 types of PPR? Is there one better than the other? This is really confusing with Manila VO. The first PPR is when the e-mail includes a visa validity date and specifically says "Your visa(s) for permanent residence to Canada is/are ready to be issued. Your...

I don't know then. The CIC works in mysterious ways ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ but it sounds like you're on the right track.

When was the line added in ECAS "We sent you correspondence on August regarding the decision on your application"? Because I've noticed that the line item comes before the actual correspondence comes.

I agree that sounds like decision made? Maybe it's decision made, now send us the passport so we can stick on the visa? Compared to others, send us passport so we can start processing your application? What does your PPR e-mail say?

No no no, it still didn't get approved yet. I was checking this week's update on ECAS. The only update was "we started processing your application on July 27, 2015"... Well I already know that and they ask me for passport already! But it took a month in ECAS to update this??? That's why to me...

Does anyone know which would come first if the visa is approved? • An e-mail to the applicant • 'Decision made' in ECAS • The actual passport with visa received I always thought that it would be DM in ECAS first but then I realized that ECAS seems slow and delayed with the information not...

Congrats on your PPR Mrs. L.

I heard it doesn't matter because they take out all documentation from whatever folder/envelope and reorganize it themselves. This is probably done because they want to make the file in electronic format. So they take all documentation, make it all one bundle, and stick it in the auto feeder of...

Huh? It didn't say anything about a visa, it just said "Additional Document/Information Requirements at This Time In order to continue processing your application, we require the following information and/or documents: • Fully Completed Appendix A (attached) for you • Original Passport(s) for...

The e-mail for PPR was received on August 12, 2015 at around 10:00 Phils time, and by 14:00 the passport was already dropped off at LBC hahaha :P Well the PPR e-mail says the file transfer happened on July 27 but me the sponsor, didn't get the actual e-mail until July 31 so I'm not sure which...
