Will the ECAS be updated when the test notification has been sent out? or is it only thru regular mail that we are informed of it?
 
Yeah. 4 months of processing is insane. 7 months as an average is very good as well.
 
We wanted to join the forum when we have ensured the CIC office in Sydney has received our application package...and they have

Now the wait (and prayers) begin...
 
Guys,

I've just completed application package for my wife. I already paid online using my CC. When I print out the receipt, it has blanks in Payer Info box. It prints my name but has blanks for Client DOB, Client ID, Address & Ph No.

By 'client', does it mean my wife? Should I fill them out with my wife's DOB, ID & Ph No although it contains my name in the 1st box?
 
Add my app to the mix here, and let the "festivities" begin...

Calculated days present in Canada: 1447
No travel since 2011 (July)

So...anyone here know when they will give me any data so I can track my app on-line (or when to expect it?).
 
Friends,

Please enter your timelines in the below Google sheet ( If you haven't already ) which started in Jan of 2014. It will help build a statistical model for expecting next steps:
