1. There's nothing as a 'real' [or 'surreal'] in-process... if ur e-CAS states 'in process' - it is under processing.
2. Why not? If they find a case 'ineligible' it maybe refused @ any stage [however, there r also noted 'errors' galore].
@Qorax - Actually I would have to disagree to a point. When applications (certainly newer applications) which pass their eligibility review at CIO first get added to ECAS, one can sometimes sees the status as "IN PROCESS", but without the additional line "We reviewed your application and started processing on XYZ" in the detail. Shortly afterwards the status goes to "Received by visa office".
Not until some time afterwards when I think the visa office actually start processing does it go back to "IN PROCESS" with the detail line about the processing date.
So I think sometimes there can be a phantom "IN PROCESS" when an application first appears on ECAS.
Just from personal observation!
@Louay - I asked you to give more details when you PM'd me but you haven't replied. Although as I pointed out above, there can sometimes be a phantom IN PROCESS, if you have had "Decision Made" on your application I think the likely circumstance is that your application has been rejected. Very occasionally a Decision Made can be incorrectly displayed in ECAS, but these are a pretty rare and most of the time a Decision Made prior to medicals means rejection.
And you're not dying, please stop exaggerating

I realise it must be very frustrating but have you seen if you are eligible under the current new rules? If not, perhaps a change of occupation list in July this year might give you a way to reapply? Failing that, you can still apply as a Federal Skilled Worker if you can secure a job offer with an LMO, or even look into provincial nomination and see which provinces require skills which you have, if your skills are not on the Federal list.
