Hello,

I sent my application on January 17th by Fedex, received January 18th Signed by David. Today January 30th, 12 days later, I was able to link my application online using UCI and my family name(this weekend I crossed the border to Canada from USA and they gave me an UCI) I was not able to find my application using any other information so that's weird. I have not received AOR1 and I'm not able to link it on ecas.

Application/profile status Open
Review of eligibility Not Started
Review of medical results Passed
Review of submitted documents This is empty, Anyone knows what this means (the fact that is empty)?
Scheduling an interview Not needed at this time
A background check is needed Not needed at this time
Final decision Not Started

It means they haven't asked you for any additional documents. That's perfectly normal. It's also normal not to be able to access ECAS yet. When you see Review of Eligibility change to In Process on MyCIC, ECAS should follow shortly (it took a little less than a week for me). If the application number starts with an X, that's a temporary number you have prior to AOR1. If it starts with F, that's an indication of AOR1 even before you receive the e-mail.

Out of curiosity, why did they give you your UCI number when you crossed the border?

Hello, I just found this amazing forum, and I really need some help...

I sent my husband's application by Canada Post <First rookie mistake> on January 6, 2017. They lost it! (According to the web site my package is still in transit, according to the supervisor probably my package was delivery but not scanned - My heart needs to believe that)
I'm very frustrated... two weeks calling non-stop Canada Post, and sending emails to CIC without any response.

I really need to take actions, that's why I need some feedback from you..
Rookie question #1 is there any way (Besides CIC web forms and 1-888-242-2100) I could contact CIC to confirm they receive or not my package?
#2 How long will take to receive the AOR, hoping and praying that the application was receive (On January 11)
#3 At what point an applicant is able to use ECAS to check status?
#4 How much should I wait before sending an other application (with the new Kit)

Any suggestion or feedback will be appreciated
Thank you :)
This is not a joke, if you are near the border, immigration officers could give you information about your application.

I'm a student in the US, I need a visa to enter to Canada. My visa expires soon and since they can't stamp me for 6 months, they gave me a special document to show my entries to Canada (this might be connected to my application, not sure). This document states I can't work or study in Canada and blah blah. It contained an UCI number and I figured out that this number was unique for any application I have ever submited to CIC.

Makes sense. Thanks for the clarification. And welcome to the waiting game. :)
