the ecas (online) will update from time to time. Stay tuned....

If nothing comes out in the mail (that you feel something wrong), don't continue to wait, contact your visa office or call centre immediately.

mine was processed the same day too. I think the 37-ish days it takes to process the sponsorship application includes the time it takes sitting in the mail pile.

Hopefully it's good news!

Is this the first stage sponsor approval? Or second stage for the permanent residency approval?

Sitting in the mail pile before they open it? Or when it's on it's way to the next place. Ie. Buffalo...

first stage sponsorship approval - they usually say they have starting processing your application the same day they make a decision - but ecase is so unreliable.

..sorry my answer was kinda vague -

I think they during the first stage (ie. Sponsorship Approval) the 37-40 days it takes to make a decision is included in the time when it is first received. For example - I filed my application 01-10-2010 and they only started processing it on 01-11-2010. The decision was also made on 01-11-2010. During that time they said it would take around 30 days to process my application. So I am guessing they included the day it was filed.

This is only for the first stage sponsorship though. If you have been approved you will receive a letter in the mail very soon and that means they have already sent your package to buffalo.

WHERE Do you find this info in ecas? is it for the SPONSORSHIP STATUS or PERMANENT RECIDENCE?
