All the best to everyone who is still waiting! I hope you all get your visas soon.

I know you're all eager to hear what is going on with my application!!!
To review: as of now I am still unable to log into eCAS, have gotten no letter, have heard nothing other than that my application for sponsorship has been received and began processing on May 13 (when I called the Call Centre).
Well, yesterday my husband got in the mail a check from CIC for $50. We had read somewhere that when your application is approved, you have to pay $50 for a fee for the PR card and that it is possible to pay that fee with the application and that doing so can save some time in the end. So we paid an extra $50 with our fee payment and I wrote in the cover letter the breakdown of the fees (Fee receipt totaling $1090.00. $490.00 for Right of Permanent Residence fee, $75.00 for Sponsorship Application, $475.00 for Principal Applicant- Family Class, $50 for Permanent Resident Card). Well, that was seemingly a bad idea, they have refunded us the $50. So, maybe that explains the delay in our application? In any case, it might have been a mistake, but it's also somewhat comforting to know that my application is being handled by human beings there and they have begun looking at it and it's in process.
We shall see.
abedelia – I don’t think $50 extra was the reason of delay.
I didn’t paid yet the $490.00 for Right of Permanent Residence fee and they touch my case. ( I want to pay next week).
But I hear you, don’t be upset. Who knows after they send your case in Buffalo you can be the first one who will receive the visa. I tried to guess their rules and way of thinking but I can’t figure out any logic in their system.
What if you make an incorrect payment?abedelia said:I just thought I'd update you all with the latest from yours truly, the slowest application in the March group!!!

Thanks for everyone's support and congrats to everyone who has made more progress than this and who has paid their fees correctly the first time!!!!
