Hi, everyone:

After staying away from the forum over Easter - my niece and nephews refuse to be ignored :) - I was totally shocked to get my sponsorship approval email yesterday evening. I checked my messages today after being offline since Sunday and there it was - a message from "OttPilot-Immigration"! I had schooled myself to expect it only by the end of the month, so wow! The email didn't confirm the receipt date but it did say the application has been forwarded to Delhi.

I'll give my husband another half hour to sleep (it's not yet 7 am for him) then will call him with the wonderful news ... Stage 2, here we come! Hope all the other Jan 20s get their longed-for news this week too!
WOW.....congrets....

Congrats! I was very disappointed that I have not seen much progress today but with this post (that is OK).

We are unable to access ecas as well. I will wait till next week, and if I am still unable to access the ecas, I will call the call center for help.
Good to know I'm not the only one. I'll wait to see what you hear from call centre if you do call :D I really don't enjoy calling them. If mine turns up on ecas, I'll be sure to let you know.

Well, to be precise, it was mailed Jan 23 and received Jan 25 as per XpressPost tracking. Actually it was supposed to be delivered Jan 24 but Canada Post misdirected it, so it arrived a day late and I ended up getting a full refund of the mailing charges! So no complaints :D

Thanks all, for the good wishes. I'm so excited to see how many more updates our group gets over the next few days.

Amanda, could you fill in the gap for my timeline on the spreadsheet - my app was sent Jan 23 and the sponsorship decision was made April 10 (not 11). Thanks!

Actually that is what I did but I overlooked the name. (it seems I was looking after Jan 20). I checked Manila sheet. When you posted I re-checked again and found it.
Thanks
