What is the difference between ECAS in process and tracker in progress?
I have a similar question.
My application shows in progress on the tracker that opens through the link in AOR pdf. However ecas shows status as application received instead of in progress.

Any idea why the discrepancy?

From what I read from couple of threads is, IRCC do not have enough case workers who are trained to work on Online applications. Because of this reason, there is a cap on number of applications they can process. My understanding is with time passing the cap will increase.

At the same time IRCC is planning to phase out paper based system, so naturally paper applications are getting higher preference.

if you want to paper application from the threads it’s better to pay separate application fees as you cannot use the fees you paid for online application until the online application is withdrawn.
Thank you so much

I know paper app are more faster but there is a lot of online app complete before 1 year.
Why they said it will take 26 months?

This will explain how they calculate it --> How are processing times calculated? It's all historical data and predictions, which is also why they update processing time from time to time, may take longer, and may be done way before. But I think they also like to say a longer time so that folks do not get their hopes up.

So if they say its 24 months and then your application is done in 12, it looks better for them
