I only applied to one as well. The MA program in Communication and New Media at McMaster University. I requested an update last week and they said they've received twice the usual number of applicants, and won't have final decisions ready until late March or early April at the latest. This is so nerve-wrecking because I've been waiting for this for 2 years (with several signs pointing me in their direction), but I had actually talked myself out of applying (severe Imposter Syndrome) and submitted my application the day before the deadline. I've been keeping an eye on their social media pages and my proposed supervisor's LinkedIn (he did accept my connection invitation). So far I've only seen 1 person post today on thegradcafe about getting waitlisted for the PhD program in the department. My husband and I have decided that regardless of the decision, we're still going to move to the area though and I will gain more industry experience. (Hopefully hearing something sooner rather than later within the next 2-3 weeks)
