Hey Everyone,

Wow...both of my children are asleep at the same time (almost 2 year old and an almost 1 month old) so I've got a few moments to myself. Mind you, one is asleep in my arms, and I am one finger typing (taking ages :) ).

I checked ecas (finally). Had no problems logging in, and it said my husbands application for permanent residence was recieved on January 13th, 2011, and Medical also recieved.

Nice to know that the application is actually at the London visa office :D

Congrats!
I was just wondering about e-cas updates. How correct is it? Looking at our posts here I don't understand why some people get updates just now even tho their applications received in the begining of January? For excample yours whitehorsejk it said it was received Jan 13 and you got update just now, but mine was received Jan 17 and I got my update on e-cas week ago.

@ Vietcutie

What is their problem with your application? On the website, it says they are processing applications received on January 5th, 2011. So they should be done with yours. :(

@ nylalisa, They told me that they are checking me out still to see if I approved for sponsoring. The fact that it is taking longer then normal and they are way past the 24th makes me worry alot.

Lawyer submitted my wife application to come to Canada on dec 21.

I called immigration and no update, just in the dark.

Tried the e-cas to check status and no luck

Any day I hope.

@ kulilit
really you have your ppr that was fast,how did you got it by regular mail or email? we have the same visa office but mine i will expect rprf first bec. we did not pay the 490, plus i have 2 kids maybe background check takes longer......hope not.
