Congrats! Hopefully it is a positive decision. When did you submit application?
Congratulations...
Did you check myCIC accounts for notification / unread mail.
This is a very interesting point. I asked IRCC to clarify this as according to my communication with them last week, they mentioned below:
If you are in Canada and you receive a letter notifying you that you need to give biometrics, then you will have to leave Canada to do this. You should not travel to the U.S. if you’re only going to give biometrics. The U.S. border officials may not let you enter the country. Instead, you should go to a visa application centre (VAC) in any country that you can legally enter, such as your home country.
Further it is stated:
“Applicants who apply from within Canada, but whose applications are not eligible to be processed from within Canada, are not covered under this public policy exemption. Those applicants are required to leave Canada in order to submit their biometrics as part of their application.” refers to our parents. Since their applications are processed at local visa offices in home country, thats why the biometrics letter says they have to leave Canada.
That’s what happened for me and most of people I know. Status changed to inprocess for both together.
In myCIC, review of eligibility section should change to we are reviewing your eligibility from “we will let you know once we start reviewing your eligibility”.
I noticed for karthikramda that decision was made for sponsor and application received for applicant and the application was rejected. So, it is good sign that both parts are in process
By God's grace, ECAS updated for both applicant & sponsor as "We received XXXXXXXX's application for permanent residence on May 10, 2019.
Linked application to Applicant's (mom's) & Sponsor's (Myself) CIC account as well. It shows "We are processing your application. We will send you a message when there is an update or if we need more information from you."
ECAS was updated only after yesterday 4:30 pm.
@YULIA-2016 : Kindly update line 122 (MACWHITBY).
Thanks a lot for your effort @YULIA-2016

Hello Macwhitby, I don't understand, how did you check ECAS ? I don't have any reference or number except my receipt number but this didn't work with me. Please advise.Finally, ECAS shows "We received XXXXXXXX's application for permanent residence on May 10, 2019.
ECAS updated for both applicant & sponsor. I guess it appeared yesterday night !
@YULIA-2016 : Kindly update line 122 (MACWHITBY) & Thanks a lot for your effort
You have a UCI number right ? Check with that or you can even try with your receipt number , keep in mind ECAS update is not first come first serve. Currently most people till May10th is getting updates , again its random ! Good luck .....
@macwhitby I have no clue where to get the UCI number from ? I didn't receive the AOR email yet. My application was sent on May 16. I believe it reached their on 17 because I sent it by express post and I tracked it, it was picked up at this date.
You can find UCI on any letters CIC might have send you in the past for your PR/Citizenship etc... or on your immigration document such as a PR card, study or work permit etc... Kindly wait for couple of days or a week and a half before you check your ECAS status according tho the trend now.
Most people didn't receive any AOR yet, I guess it takes another month or so !
