Hi Folks, How are you
May 09, 2016 Applicant. Sponsor CIC status is "Decision Made" since May 29 2017. He received a letter that you are good to sponsor.

I am have nothing received after that. Medicals upfront. FBI + Proof of cohabitation submitted in June 2017.

Any Body on the same boat with me ? 15 months already over for me.

Thanks Guys. This thread is amazing .
If you submitted proofs oh cohabitation in June, I really expect you should get news very soon. Typically 45-60 days after to get attached to your file, then the time the agent comes back to your file to review the additional proofs you submitted. You are really right in the timeframe I would expect you to get news, so my guess is any day now.

same boat as you almost exactly, except April 2016 applicant. sponsor status "Decision Made" but no letter ever came. nothing received after that, medicals are approved, everything else seems good, just waiting and waiting and waiting. I am starting to doubt the earlier "promise" that us 2016 applicants should be finished by the end of this year
When you click on decision made, how many lines do you see? If you have 4 lines, I would suspect a typo in the email, if not 4 lines they really haven't sent it.
1. We received your application to sponsor XXXXX on (date)
2. We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application on (date)
3. We started processing your application on (date)
4. We sent you correspondence on (date) about the decision on your application.

If you have something like line 4, it means they sent you the SA letter (typically via an email). If that's the case, it's possible that they did a typo in the email. That happened to me, but I realised they did the typo when I received my first set of GCMS notes, so I asked for the correction and it was done before they were ready to give me SA.

my ecas and MyCIC never have changed since having the medical done:

Did I read that right? To renew your foreign passport, you have to have status in Canada?

Indian passport
Ok, so, Canada and India are not connected. They might be commonwealth nations, but they are not connected. India, from my understanding, doesn't care what your status is in any other country you visit. Canada won't issue you an OWP, or any other document, on an expired passport -- unless you are a refugee, or seeking asylum (and getting a new passport will put you in danger).

You can apply for a new passport from a high commission within Canada.

EDIT: I just double checked with a co-worker who is a PR and holds an Indian passport. He confirms what I said.

This is like myself and my husband, don't cancel your refugee and do the sponsorship, once your receive AIP then cancel your refugee status.
