They don't update much on ECAS and when it says you passed medical exam on gckey it means you passed lol! Nothing to be worried about!

Haha thank you for being so awesome and always having speedy responses to my questions and concerns! I just saw someone mention seeing on line 2 in ECAS "we started working on your application" and was like... uh oh... I don't see that loool! Also Paris didn't say they officially received it or anything but I'm hoping they do by now!

Guys, is it odd that on the PAs ECAS it shows this:
1. We received your application...
2. We sent you medical instructions...
3. Medical results have been received.

On GCKey is says we passed medical and background check is going on. We also got the transfer email. Is what is shown on ECAS a concern or something as it doesn't say they started working in our application.

Thanks in advance! x

I wouldn't be concerned -- in all likelihood this is just because your local VO hasn't actually started working on it yet. (Don't ask me why the background check has already started -- that section hasn't been following the usual historical patterns lately so it's been a bit of a mystery for a bunch of us!)

Congratulations to all who received any good news! Please don't forget to update the spreadsheet because it's helpful for those who didn't receive any news.

All good It's very likely it's already arrived to the Paris VO, but lining up to be scanned by the officers, so there will be no updates until someone scan it.

I've made a few amendments to the tracker on February and March to fit with the flow that our applications are now taking. I can make the changes to January but would appreciate your feedback to see if you're all on board before I change anything:

Hi Josh, I like the new layout. However' I do prefer the fact that January shows the PA's city and country as opposed to just the country. However, it's not a deal breaker for me.

The format in Jan is meant to show the local VO of the PA. However, some are being sent to Mississauga etc, so I moved that along to the Moved to VO section. The PA country will then allow us to track data better.

The new layout now makes more sense! Great job buddy! There are two things I think can be considered to change, not sure if this helps but here goes:
1. Medical seems always requested earlier than biometrics. Maybe we should consider to move Medical to the left side of biometrics?

2. Does Background check date really matter? It seems like it confuses lots of people as most of them don't know the exact date it started (I found mine already started since the first day I linked gckey)

It seems to flip between the two quite often so I'll leave it be for now

Whilst I agree that it can cause confusion and is down to whenever you see it happen, it's also a good indicator as to where your application is up to.
