e-Client Application Status (e-CAS)
The e-Client Application Status (e-CAS) application will provide certain categories of Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) clients with an Internet channel to obtain information from any world location on the status of five types of CIC client applications. The purpose of the project is to reduce some of the routine telephone calls to the CIC Call Centre and to improve customer service. The types of applications whose status is available through e-CAS are:
•Application to sponsor a member of the family class;
•Application for permanent residence from within or outside Canada;
•Application for a permanent resident card (initial, replacement or renewal)
•Application for a grant of Canadian citizenship; and
•Application for a proof of Canadian citizenship.
To query the status of a client's application, the client must first be authenticated by entering certain information:
•An identification number such as client ID, file number or receipt number
•Surname
•Date of birth
•Country of birth
The client must correctly enter all four of the authentication data fields for authentication to take place.
e-CAS also displays the current mailing address (within or outside Canada) of the client.
