Just a quick couple of questions:

1. What is the bio data referred to with the pictures? a signature??

2. When looking at ecas, where is says "application received", does that change to in process? Or is it the information that shows after clicking on the "application received" that the in process gets added to?

I hope that makes sense, lol.


I don't expect to see this change for some time, just wondering...

Thanks in advance for any replies.

Unsure about the bio data thing, don't remember seeing that.

For the ECAS, the "Application Received" bit will be replaced. It seems that most of the time, it will go "In Process" but sometimes it goes straight to "Decision Made".

Bio page is the page that shows the photo and all the information about the applicant (Thus, Bio) :)

Hmmm, It says bio data specifically, not page. I get the reference to the bio part. Just trying to figure out what the entire reference is.

It was in the GMCS notes.

Thanks for your reply too!!

lol yes, ???

It has to do with the pictures. That is why I assumed it was to do with a signature. I did not see anything in the country specific guide to sign them for our application, but have in others.

The DMP also forgot another thing, it was in the same section along with a comment about the sponsor meeting all requirements.

I suppose the easiest thing to do is copy and paste it.

No biodata found on the back of at least one of the passport size photogragh for pa. No medical or visa office indicated on the IMM1017 medical report. Therefore, no CSC date entered. Sponsor meets all eligibility reqirements as per R10 and R11.

I would try to scan up that page and send it to them as well, in case that's all they want, is a scan of it.
