I'm the person being sponsored, May 11, 2017 applicant.
On May 9, 2018 I got a letter confirming that I am officially eligible to apply as a member under Family Class. I just need to meet the other requirements in order for them to make a decision.
TWO DAYS LATER, on May 11, 2018, the sponsor side status changed to Decision Made, but haven't received any letters regarding that.
I just wanted to share my experience with them so far, so other people can read it and might benefit from it.
Good luck to everyone especially Feb. and Mar. Applicants
