Checking in!!! Hope everyone is doing well......I posted this in my VO forum but I wanted to ask those of you who are on same timeline as me......

In Ecas, how many of you show more than application received under the PA? Mine still says:

We received XXXXXXX XXXXXXX's application for permanent residence on February 21, 2013.

Should I have an update in ecas yet or not? I sent paperwork over a month ago and while tracking shows it was delivered, ecas has yet to update that they received my medicals or anything else. We got SA on March 15th, that's almost 2 months now. Should I be worried? And should I email them?

Sweden.....HELP!! Can you tell me if I should contact my VO? I would think it would at least say Meds were received by now.

I'd love to know how many of us from the February spreadsheet still have the same showing in ECAS.

Hope you all are doing well :)

Hi there,

my meds received showed up in ECAS about a week ago, I sent my application 30.1.13 :) So don't worry It takes a while for them to update it!

Thanks for your update!! I feel better.

Still hoping to hear from anyone else. I'm curious how different visa offices process with ECAS. :)

Hi Buffy! My VO is Sao Paulo, I got the SA 3 months ago and still nothing changed on ECAS... But as far as I could see in some spreadsheets, people start to get some news (ECAS showing "in process") after 3 months of their SA's, so I'm hoping to hear good news soon!

Thanks Canard. It would be so much better if all VO's would request PP first thing. We would know they had the file that way!! :)

I have the same dates as you..March 15th got my SA email for approval, sent in application Feb 12...all it says on my ecas under my spouse's UCI and the immigration file # is that they recieved the application for permanent residence on Feb 12, medical results recieved, nothing else, no " in process" no nothing... im in limbo too hoping to get some sort of an email or mail letter stating that all is good! but i guess this is the norm :S

Last time I checked, mine says "In process". I received AOR from VO in Beijing on April 24th and passport request the next day. I'm not sure if that means I'm almost there or it's maybe because Beijing office starts to request passport earlier like New Delhi? But yes, some VO office does do things differently so no worries~we all will have our DM very soon!!

Thanks Lynn. I imagine with a PPR ECAS would update. It does seem to vary greatly from VO to VO. Very frustrating!!

Can you get a LMO while awaiting Permanent Residency living in Canada?
Is that possible...and legal?

I had checked into this before and as far as I know it is perfectly legal BUT it's hard as heck to get one. I know I looked in Ontario and can't find anything near where I will be living. I know Alberta seems to advertise a lot of LMO's but I'm not sure where. It can't hurt looking into.

Thanks. I just want to ensure it isn't going to delay and/or harm my PR application.
