ok this makes me worried.....

My status changed to IP today but instead of the recent date of IP, it shows it's IP in May, what does it mean? Is this a fake IP?

I don't think it's fake. I think most people see something similar. Their ECAS changes to show IP on a date much later than when the CIC says they began processing it.

My theory is that once an application receives SA and either is prepared to go to the next VO or when it arrives, the new VO enters the application into its inventory. All applications, once having their secondary VO information to the application and receives approval to move on to the PR application review, go to IP in the VO's systems and put into a pile. (I've seen this on my case notes I've ordered. There's a line that reads In Progress, but it showed they hadn't started my security check, support documents, etc. and there was no IP on ECAS yet.)

Once the CIC workers pull the application out of the pile, I think they then update ECAS to show they physically have it in hand.

So, I think We started processing your application on XX means, "Hey, you've got SA and now we're preparing to send it to the new VO and/or it's just arrived," and the date where you see your ECAS updated to IP means "Hey, we've actually grabbed your application out of the stack and are physically looking at it."

Long story short: I don't think your IP is a fake. I think it's legitimate.

Thank you Ineffable!!! I just took a look of the 2015 spreadsheet and found out many people got IP on October 9th :/

I know from about May/ June, the ECAS changes to IP after dm1, I was afraid CIC updated the system and now makes the applicants before May change the status to IP as well, but not the old IP that we knew. Some people say if ECAS changes to IP it means your interview is waived, I hope it's true.

Still haven't heard jack. On the 2015 spreadsheet a handful of March Ottawa applicants have already gotten DM and landed even. It's just silence and more silence. It doesn't help that they seem to be doing things weird this year with these "batches", I just keep hoping we hear something any day now.

Hello fellow March applicants!:) 8 months down, no progress frm MVO. been checkin my ECAS for quite sometime now. and our application is still "IN PROCESS"..

still on this black hole of "when(s)"and "how long".:( our child celebrated her birthday without her daddy last september. Two months, and several follow ups later, still there's no progress.

I don't know how much longer do we need to wait. We've been waiting since spring this year. It 's almost winter again and yet, we are still hanging on this neverending wait.. It is almost a year of being married but is coping up separately. Where is the "family reunification" promise that the gov't is promoting to their immigrants?

This is just heartbreaking.

You're not alone..............HKVO is slow as well, there's a lot of December applicants haven't got DM yet, sigh.........all I hope is no require of any documents and interview waives and redo medical exam then I'm good, I have my mind set up of the waiting time till at least next January, I should receive the notes in the end of this month will see what it says.

Anyways, hang in there, I know it's hard. But there's nothing we can do.

Hi sis March 13 applicant here and September 5 In Process..... It's frustrating indeed we hope new PM will do what he promise to shorten the period of family reunification process and he will visit Philippines on November 18-19 for APEC SUMMIT. Hope we hear good news soon.

Thanks a lot for the wishes.

We went to the intereview today. They didn't allow me to enter the building. Just my wife and the translator were allowed to get in.
It took them 90 min. The officer was focusing in one point in our file. He kept going back and forth to it. He didn't like the fact that our relationship is not a long one and kept going around this point.

And after 90 min. He just ask here to wait for thier communication.

Back to waiting game :)

I checked our ecas and its still IP.

Less than a year
How short is that before you got married? I don't think it's a problem as long as the marriage is genuine and everyone in the family is present during the ceremony. Im hoping you also have pictures together with your families prior the wedding.
