I have received my ITA 2-weeks before and submitted documents on 21st Sep.2015.
I got AoR (e-APR) and waiting for the process to get started.
Hope others who got AoR in September are doing good.
I would request them to share their timelines and we will work-it out by sharing our knowledge/experience.
Its quite strange hoe things are different for different applicants. In my case, I never received any notification for my medicals passed, which happened within 3 days of my filing the documents. However my background check has still not started, which usually starts on the same day of a day or two after the medicals have passed. I did not even get any notification about access to ECAS, I just tried, and found that my application could be seen there.
Sometimes this confuses me and at other times I feel no news is good news.
this is such a dumb question i know and i sorry for asking but
1) what is ecas? It's a site where you can track your application process.
2) what does it mean when someone says 2 3 or 4 lines what do these mean? When you login into ECAS you see the application process line by line i.e number of lines.
3) how do you know if you have ecas are you alerted in your my cic? You just keeping checking the website till you are able to login with your information, there is no email saying anything about ECAS access.
thanks so much to anyone who replies i feel like a right idiot :/
I never got a notification for ECAS access either - not sure if we do.. I just kept trying until it worked.
Also, I'm getting a bit confused on the Background check as well.. as my medicals were passed and they asked for my Schedule A over the weekend, but no change on background status.... technically, doesn't Schedule A mean that it has atleast started a background check?

There is an excel sheet for all entries... can check that in OP's signature...
I received two ghost mails indicating that my application was updates, but upon logging on to the CIC website, there was nothing there. I had no idea about the ECAS, until I found a link on the forum and decided to see if my application details were there. To my surprise they were. My background check has not started yet, either CIC is going too slow, or do random things for different applications.
For now i will be just maintaining the spreadsheet and making sure everybody's formatting is right as it is easier to read and understand; if you want to analyze please let me know 8)
