"Waiting folks" from outside Canada....
Dont waste your time looking at ecas anymore!
Its been more than the avg processing time (11 mons - Buffalo) since I applied. So, I thought why not send a case specific enquiry yesterday. I got the reply within a day. haha...why dont they show the same spped in sending pprs & paasports!!!
Below is the reply...
Your application is in process. We are unable to provide a date when the processing of your application will be complete.
e-Cas is for applications processing within Canada only.
Immigration cases being processed in Visa offices outside Canada use a system different from that used to process similar applications in Canada. As a result, the e-Client Application Status (e-CAS) does not reflect the status of cases being processed in Buffalo.
Do not use the CIC e-Cas on-line change of address system. Your new address will not be downloaded to your file in Buffalo.

Hi,
What time did you send the message and what time did they reply? Hope you are not talking about the auto reply message.
The reason I am asking is I sent them a message and they have not responded yet
so are they are either pissed off with my email or they are looking into it 
Thanks,
L.B

hehe. exactly the same i received first week of February. Expect a response by next week. I got the same response on a Thursday and the Thursday after, I received a response from Processing Team. Please let us know of the outcome. I assure that either you get your PPR or 'final review'... Good Luck.

NO, this is NOT an auto response. If the file has been forwarded for final stages, administration might forward it to the right department or if there is any technical information that Admin cannot answer the question or urgency required. Its a good sign....
