I doubt.

Check the various posts on the forum and see that online citizenship applicants are not able get their status using the ECAS tool

Folks do u have any clue. Referring to only online applications, I see some Online applicants In process in a day, some in a month's time and some still waiting after AOR still not In process. What is the criteria here for In process, how do u know its in process for online?

yes you are right about that Fake pasha.

yes you are right about that Fake pasha.

all the applicants are getting in process update few days after AOR in tracker. When we are talking about “in process” in old ECAS online applicants have no access to it, only paper applicants can see in process application status changes.
For example, I’m paper applicant received AOR in October and my application status changed to in process in new tracker next day after getting AOR. The application status in Old ECAS is still “application received”. I’m not updating my timeline in the spreadsheet as I’m still waiting for in process status change in old ECAS. Please correct me if I’m not right.

Basically if you are a paper applicant you have access to both trackers and your true status is what is on the ECAS.
now online applicants can only see the new tracker which says in process but it is not actually in process , it is application received. I think once their bg is completed or when they get test invite they figure out app is in process.
Now here is the confusion, I still cannot see my online application on the tracker, it has been one month since my AOR. I called IRCC and they said it is in the inventory but not in the system yet that means the process has not started yet.

You all might be correct that application submitted online might not have access to ECAS, even I don't have to ECAS yet.
But I want to change my address and seems like ECAS is the only way.!
Anyone done address change successfully without ECAS?

go with the webform and then after 15 days call them to confirm. I am considering to change my address too since IRCC Montreal is sht .

So I have ECAS access since mine is a paper application
When I logged in through ECAS I saw that the mailing address is mentioned on this tool is of the consultant that I had hired for my PR application.
I received the AoR on 28th Oct and on 29th I tried to change the mailing address from this consultant to my home address. I followed the steps it said it will take 5 business days to do that. I said well fine, went ahead with it..
Till today the mailing address has not changed in the ECAS
My citizenship application form has both home and mailing addresses correctly mentioned.
So to answer you in short does changing the address on ECAS works. No is the answer
Alternative is to send the request via the webform(I have not done that)

ECAS only works for paper applications

That's what I have gathered as well. Thanks. In that case, how do we know when to mark our applications 'In Progress' in the tracker spreadsheet? I do see a "Application History" section in the new tracker that currently reads "Application Filed... in progress.. bla bla".

Mine is also the same., The mailing address is different. My application was returned to the correct address (Home address; missing docs in July). I have done the change request of mailing address through ecas, still waiting..

I submitted the webform request today. Not sure how it will be confirmed that the address is changed? In ECAS atleast one can see their own address.

Thank you. My "updated" date is +1 from AOR and status is "In Progress" (same for my spouse). So, I think we can mark rows 100 and 101 "In Progress" with a date of Nov 16. @Kanedaa can you help update that? Thank you!
