I'm telling you Cirene, just because you didn't get an actual letter from them, means NOTHING. Do you have any idea how many times I had to call them to get my AIP letter? LOL
If what you are saying, is that it says on the applicant page, NOT the sponsor page that they began on Jan 30, 2014, you don't have to hope or wish for anything. Just because you haven't gotten the physical email or letter yet means nothing. If it makes you feel better, pick up the phone, call CIC and ask them if your sponsor has been approved yet. I think you'll be happy when you hear the answer
