will i be able to obtain canadian passport if i was been sponsored..does a visa approval under family class has an expiration?

Once you arrive in Canada with a PR visa, you will be a permanent resident. Permanent residents have to stay in Canada for two years out of every five to remain a PR. You can apply to be a Canadian citizen once you have been in Canada for three years.
From the CIC website:
"To be eligible for Canadian citizenship, you must have lived in Canada for at least three years (1,095 days) out of the four years (1,460 days) preceding your application. Please note that you cannot meet the residence requirements for citizenship without a minimum of two (2) years as a permanent resident."
Once you are a citizen you can get a Canadian passport.

 Hi, Canadianwomen explained well to your first  question

secondly: .does a visa approval under family class has an expiration?

Yes,it will definitely expire when you complete one year from the date of your medical examination, or if your passport expire before that period.
To avoid this problem you should have sufficient validity for your passport
and you should land in Canada before the expiry period.
