Hi,
As a medium-term lurker of this forum and fellow Aprilcant I thought I should add to the good news - my wife has just received approval (via email) to sponsor me. We were a bit worried about meeting the intention to move to Canada criteria but we obviously gave enough detail (just a description of our plan and some bank account details) to satisfy CIC.
For the spreadsheet - medical done March 20, Visa Office is Sydney, application sent April 2, application received April 12, sponsorship approval July 10 (yay!).
Good luck to all those still waiting, I'm sure good news is just around the corner
