My file is IN PROCESS with a processing date as of 08-02-2012.
PSDEC = 1, SELDEC = 1, BDEC, OREQ=0, MEDDEC=0, FINDEC=0
Paper file sent to PA : File BF'd to : M1G on 07-06-2012
There are lot of detailed writing on my education, experience, IELTS scores
Selection Assessment : MI1 approved
Age: 10 Exp: 21 Edu: 25 Language: 16 Adaptability for spouse: 5
Total Points: 77
Proof of funds: satisfied met for 4
PS and SEL DEC passed
CRIM passed, omitted 2 (for my daughters)
Indian police clearance, FBI clearance recvd for PA and spouse
Copies of PPT pages reviewed=no concerns, personal history reviewed = no concerns
ECU - Pending: PPTs X 4, MEDS X 4, RPRF X2

Looks like my assessment is almost done. So what is meant by ECU pending? Will I get my medicals at all? I have changed my employer recently and have not informed NDVO yet. Should I inform NDVO now? Is the background check still on? Any reply on this would be much appreciated!

ECU = Economic Class Unit.

Basically a group within CIC that specializes in reviewing economic class applications.

With no disrespect to Captain Qorax, I dont approve off his views on ECU , that files are sent there to re-assess to reduce the inventory !!
I did read on a LVO thread that all economic class applications go through ECU coz thats what they specialize in.
Now, would the CIC need a special division just to reject and help reduce the inventory ?
Isnt the CIC already doing it to many a LVO ( mostly Pakistan applicants ) on basis of JD mismatch..

Thanks for your replies. My question is not about what ECU is, rather what is meant by ECU pending. It looks like most processing is complete, there is no additional doc requested in my case, so what is pending?

hi, the application goes through different levels of approval.
ECU is the final stage and then the MR is requested when all clear is given. (IMHO, nobody can tell for sure what these are but for people working for CIC )

Yes I agree with you Maran........ECU is not secret or sinister.......I guess they decide when is the right time to issue MR to applicants and its the final stage before issuing MR
