when I check ecas, under sponsor UCI number. under sponsor application status it says decision made. Is that SA approval?

You should receive a mail with the SA letter. For me, I only got the email, no updates in ECAS. Infact I don't see sponsor UCI at all in ECAS. What am I missing? (I linked the application to my own GC account; I'm added as a representative in the application).

Try encoding name in all caps. Make details are same with what you put in IMM 0008.

Add yourself to the number of applicants. That was the trick that did it for me (mentioned somewhere in this forum).

i got the SA, MED as well. but on the SA letter it says it will be transferred to VO but doesn't specify where for me.

I believe the letter is a SA Sponsorship Approval. It contains infos of UCI and Application Number that start with letter Fxxxxxxxxx

ECAS is one way to check on the progress of your application (along with a GCKey account). Sometimes it will show different information than GCKey, but usually GCKey is more up to date in my experience. You need either your app number or UCI (unique client identifier) to access both services, and for GCKey, you need to create an account.

Here is the link for ECAS https://services3.cic.gc.ca/ecas/security.do

And here is GCKey https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/account.html

Did you check your email yesterday and today? Just to figure out if they work in the weekends.
What is your timeline?

I believe the letter is a SA Sponsorship Approval. It contains infos of UCI and Application Number that start with letter Fxxxxxxxxx

Others correct me if I'm wrong, but I suspect that this is AOR1 which also usually contains UCI and App number beginning with F. Sponsor Approval should contain wording like "you have met the requirements as a sponsor".

The link below contains examples of AOR and SA letters.

Yes you can consider it AOR. Is the Sponsor the representative for the PA? If so all info will he sent to the sponsor.
