@ Kedeisha

our sponsorship was approved on Oct. 28 and file was transferred to ND on the same day and it just says "application received for permanent residence" on August 22, 2011.

And then when I checked e-cas today, it had my address here in Canada, but no updates.

I'm glad they at lest have my address up now, hahaha!

Chill guys, I think the appearance and disappearance of addresses on ecas is a random computer program function or something that gets changed or not when the VO checks on our files again, which have been marked with a certain BFD (bring forward date).

For example: They have asked Client XYZ to send more evidence and have given the client 2 months to gather and send the new evidence to them to prove relationship. It is updated on our electronic files (which then maybe does the random address vanishing/appearing) and marked with a BFD on our hard copy files. Let's say the request was sent out by the VO on October 31, 2011, the VO will mark the file with a BFD of December 31, 2011 or a week after to see if Client XYZ has sent in the required evidence.If Client XYZ sent out the evidence before the two months are up, let's say a month after on November 30, 2011, then the VO disregards the December 31 BFD and updates the electronic file and hard copy file. Another BFD is assigned for the final review then, or any other action they might have.

Once again, we have to be a bit realistic here: If you know that they are waiting on a document for you which takes a year or so to be released, then there's going to be multiple BFD's and random address changes.

I agree with mapledreams, don't be bothered by ecas status too much. Mine sponsorship was approved at Mississauga on Nov 8th and it still just says application received... and no address. Just for fun, I called cic to see what those jokers in call center knows. They told me they are not trained on ecas so they go no clue of how it works...lol. Not that i was expecting any reasonable answer but I just wanted to know their opinion.
As long as you got an email or mail saying you are approved and your file is transferred to VO, you shouldn't be worried. Even if you didn't get an email or call center guys gave you file # and told you the state, you are fine just give ecas some time to update.

Welcome. Ya I know. I just wanted to add cuz if we have more ppl we will get more info.

Small suggestion regarding the spreadsheet: In "Sponsorship Approval Date"column, green colour signifies approval. Two ppl who haven't yet got the approval are in green colour. So can we remove green colour for them?

Reminder – Your undertaking is an unconditional promise of support

This undertaking cannot be cancelled once permanent resident visas are issued to them.

When should I contact CIC?

You must notify Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) of any changes to your application. Examples of changes include:

Criset,
It seems that the R number cannot be used for login.
Or it might be that the file has not yet taken for processing.

I strongly suggest you call the CIC on monday and talk to them since you have applied on August 28th.

And a suggestion please dont mind.
Please avoid talking immigration to your husband.

My wife complaints to me that I always talk about immigration, website, forum, blah blah...

It seems it makes them not feel good.
