Hi all I need your suggestion , its been a month waiting after decision made on my e cas, and after that there is no e mail from CIC. Call centre does not answer anything, what should I do, is anyone else also having the same situation, is it good or bad???
Pls share your valuable thoughts.
Decision made is a good thing. Yes for some people like me it took almost a month to get PPR after decision made.
For most cases what we have seen if they had to reject they will reject your papers rite away before changing your status to decision made.
I am thinking you PPR is around the corner. Just hold on tight and god luck.
Share us what happens with your papers

Hey guys,

This is my first pose so I apologize if I don't follow the correct protocol!

I'm wondering if someone can offer some advice.

My ECAS hasn't been updated in almost 2 months. I have 3 lines with the last being 'we started processing your application on July 25th, 2015.
There's no line about my medical results being received even though it says I passed my medical in myCIC account on August 6th. Is this normal?

My ECAS status is "in process" but I don't remember it ever being "application received" or "in progress".

I'm hoping everything is moving in the right direction.

My timeline is:

25 May: Profile created - 1060 points
12June: ITA
24 July: Application submitted
24 July: eAOR
6 Aug: Medicals Passed
9 Aug: Background Check in Progress

ECAS 3 lines:
-We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s) on July 24, 2015.
-We received your application for permanent residence on July 25, 2015.
-We started processing your application on July 25, 2015.

Hello Kehoe_B,

This is absolutely normal. CIC updates are not consistence and people are seeing many technical glitches with the updates so don't worry.
ECAS status In process is the last step before it changes to decision made. good luck

Dear Friends,

I got my ITA yesterday :) and am going to apply, but got a Q:

I have PhD from a Canadian university, I did not ECA my BSC and MSc degree (obtained from another country) neither I claimed in my EE profile that I have BSc and MSc degrees, just claimed my PhD. And I got full points for education and related transferable skills.

Do I need to have my BSc and MSc also ECA approved and submitted although I never claimed for them?

No, you have a Canadian degree which is your highest qualification. Obviously any one with a Phd would have bachelors and masters. So you indicate that once and get points for the highest degree. No need for any ECA

There is a resident visa that you can apply for in the absence of the PRC - you can apply for it while in Canada before you leave or from your home country and I believe it doesn't take as long as the PRC - that's what the officer advised us on the boarder in case we want to travel before the PRC arrives!
Oh that's great! Thank you for this info!! +1

Friends;

The last time I was in my home country (Dec 2014) I got PC which expired after 3 months based on the PC itself. I have been in Canada since then and now I am submitting my application after the recent ITA.
I asked one lawyer and he told me expiry date makes no sense on PC (which sounds reasonable to me) and CIC accepts this by one year after issue.
Another lawyer told me to renew it.

I found this:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/perm/express/intake-complete.asp

"PCs are typically valid for one year from the date they are issued."

what you think?

You have to get a new PC. Any PC expire after 3 months.

This whole process of wait and speculation is driving me Crazy :eek: :eek: :eek:

I probably log into my email 20 times a day.

No update since they asked me to pay the RPRF fee on the 10th of September. It came to a point where I will be happy to receive even a ghost email.

How are you guys coping with this Journey of uncertainty? Please share your experience

Will CIC check the travel date passport or contract? do we need to follow the date in the contract or in the passport?
it states in the contract, he will train overseas for 1 yr only. He was extended for 6 months without changng the contract. Will CIC required to send copy of passports indicating the travel overseas? the departure and arrival date?
what will we put in personal history? 1 yr or 1 and 6 months?

thanks!
