Yes I called IRCC few minutes back... the guy told me that apart from few who got approval being exceptional, according to processing center the sponsor approval are now going out for September 2018 applicants so December applicants will have to wait accordingly.
I felt like crying literally. I need to fly out of Canada badly next month starting and the guy said even if I am approved when I am out, I have to satisfy officer at border why I went out and if he allows me in only then I can do the landing interview and so on but if he doesn’t then application will go waste.
I am so pissed right now
