In 1989 the order formally opened its cause with the Vatican in the canonization of Henriette DeLille. She was declared venerable in 2010.

Mother Teresa is now called Blessed Teresa of Calcutta, this is the last step before canonization.
In the Roman Catholic Church, Mother Teresa (now Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta) is possibly the latest "saint in waiting". The Church's canonization processes are historically and traditionally slow. During his pontificate, Pope John Paul II, apart from the canonization of more than three hundred saints, abridged the canonization process by allowing Mother Teresa's cause to begin in less than the traditional five years after her death. He also reduced the traditional number of miracles from three to two, so Mother Teresa of Calcutta may well be a saint in a very short time as she already has one miracle to her credit. John Paul's own canonization is already in progress. In addition, the current pontiff, Benedict XVI, is soon to canonize several American saints, including Mother Theodore Guerin.
As of early March 2012, Mother Teresa has not been canonized, she has been beatified (declared Blessed), they are still investigating her cause for canonization.
We're hoping that she is in heaven, but we will not be sure until a decree of canonization is issued.
