What is SA?

I never received any letters in regards of Sponsorship Approval..

SA is Sponsor Approval, you might receive it later or not receive it at all and jump straight to Decision Made.

Just got an email about my landing interview! Next Wednesday in Etobicoke.
It's finally over! I will probably come back to post about my interview experience (but I don't expect to be asked too many questions considering my application was simple and straight-forward)

Some thoughts:
- The most tedious part was definitely preparing the initial application. Triple-checking every form to make sure I didn't forget to add or sign something, labeling each picture/going through our relationship history with my sponsor to prove it was genuine (considering we're not married + I've lived here my entire life and grown up here, I didn't want CIC to think it was a common-law partnership of convenience to finally become officially Canadian/PR).
- The worst part of waiting was after I passed the medical exam, because nothing was updated on myCIC or Ecas. Last week I just got a message saying that I passed eligibility (I didn't even know they were reviewing it - as of now, myCIC still shows that they're reviewing my eligibility...) Not hearing anything for weeks/months after passing the medical exam seems to be a common experience...
- About the Police Check: if you only have to submit a Canadian police check, it DOES NOT have to include fingerprints unless CIC specifically requests it (you'll see whether you need it or not on myCIC). Just go to your local police station and ask for a criminal background certificate. They'll ask you why (when you fill in a form) and you just have to check immigration. You will get a copy right away. CIC might request fingerprints later if you share a name with someone who is blacklisted, but if you're lucky you won't have to go through the RCMP/fingerprint process

Is it supposed to say medical passed? Because mine says 'medical results have been received'. Although I did mine a week ago. So is it going to change to medical passed?

Hello everyone, My application was received on October 2017 and already sent my medical exam. Today I received an interview invitation for next week to bring photos and ids. My husband didn’t received anything about being eligible to sponsor or anything. Does anyone know what questions will be asked and if that would be the end of the process? Thank you!

You should see the "passed" on your MyCIC account.

Can you let us know what else are asked on the letter? Do you also have access to your application status online?
