How long before PR Renewal can be seen on CAS

Hi,

I applied April 30, 2013 and still can't see my application online. WHat was your experience? thanks!

I think you're about a month away from being processed (so online eCas would appear roughly about the same time). CIC is currently working on applications received up to March 27.

Thanks asbereth, I was under the impression that they would state application received on CAS even though they haven't opened it. So if I read it correctly they would update my case status once CIC gets to the date when they received my application?

thanks!

Correct. Rationale is that the application has to be deemed valid prior to being added to ecas and this can only occur when its opened and initial check for completion carried out. Imagine the scenario if every application was placed on ecas upon receipt!
