We have a question about this entry on our ECAS/CIC site that appeared yesterday... “We started processing your application.”

Can anyone explain your experience and meaning to this statement?

We have had no luck linking our application to the CIC site. So ECAS is the only way we can receive information online.

What can we expect in the timeline? Appreciate your factual details and/or any relevant links to CIC information.

Medical was completed recently and results confirmed submitted and received by CIC.

Also Open Work Permit received in the mail recently.

Thank you

It means they scanned it in and started to process your application. Timeline is 8 to 12 months for total application from date received, but can take longer for complex applications. Follow along on the inland spreadsheet.
