Hey, I got my "In process" under PA status too!!! But when I click in there, there's only 1 line should the date the application is received. Sponsor's side still "In process".

Does it still mean SA approved?
It should, yes.

When you have 3 lines thats aor2. In processing is the ecas update which normally means sa has been granted. ipdate the inprocessing part of the spreadsheet and add the dates for sa in when you find out.

Congrats!

Yes and now we need to keep an eye out for the email or snail mail for the official notice from CIC.

My husband is on the phone with the call center now. We're on hold and should be for approx. 16 mins with the terrible music they have during the wait. I'll let you guys know how it goes.

Edit: We're on hold again. This guy seems more helpful. He asked my husband where I'm from even and when my husband said "American, she's visiting here though" and the guy said "So you decided to submit an outland application from within Canada?". Hopefully, we'll find out something about SA.

It is not completely satisfying as long as there is one of us April applicants still waiting. Good Luck!

Well, with my luck I had a feeling we'd end up being one of the slower ones with SA :p.

Yaaaaaaaaay HE SAID WE WERE APPROVED ON FRIDAY (FOR SA) AND THAT THE EMAIL SHOULD TAKE UP TO 5 DAYS TO BE SENT I'M SO SORRY FOR THE CAPS BUT I'M JUST SO HAPPY.

He also said if we don't get an email by Wednesday to call them so they can tell Mississauga to mail a hard copy. So, if you guys have gone "in process" and haven't received official SA and have waited more than that time, be sure to give them a call.

51 days for SA! I can't wait for the email just to make sure my application was forwarded to Ottawa.

Sadly it gives you a few days of relief and then you start worrying about the next stage. If I still have my sanity when this is over it will be a miracle!!!

Wow, that's awesome. We were probably processed in the same batch then ;D. My eCAS hasn't updated yet, but hopefully soon.
