My partner has received an email saying that he was approved as a sponsor. The email said that I (the principal applicant) would be contacted separately. It's been a few days and I haven't received anything. How quickly after sponsor approval do you get the final decision on the application?

Thanks!

As of today the standard processing time is 12 months, so you can expect a decision anytime less then or equal to 12 months the day you submitted your application!

Thanks for the reply! Sorry, I should have been clearer. We received AOR and first-stage approval months ago. This new email states he's specifically approved for the common-law sponsorship. So it seems that we're advancing further in the immigration process. I was wondering how long it took others to get the decision after that email

Listen, your sponsor got approval doesn’t mean you’ll get approval. It’s still a waiting game, give or take between one to two months after he gets the approval you’ll get a letter stating if you’re approved or not.

You are waiting for final decision and for COPR or virtual decision. Could be a few weeks from Nov 30th to a couple of months especially given the holidays.
