How long after Decision Made: London office

[vic_guy3]

I am sponsoring my parents (residing in Pakistan) and here is the timeline:

Visa office: London, UK
****************************
Status: "Decision Made"
We received your application for permanent residence on May 11, 2010.
We started processing your application on Sept 30, 2015.
Medical results have been received.
****************************

My parents were asked to provide police certificates from country of citizenship (Pakistan) and Canada (they visited Canada), all these certificates were provided and mailed to London office.

1 month after they received police certificates, status changed from "In process" to Decision made". I paid the Permanent resident fee about 1 year ago.

My question is: what is the next step?

1) Would my parents receive an email asking for passports (assuming if it approved)
2) Would they receive something in the mail?
3) How long is the immigrant visa valid for? 6 months or 1 year?

Thank you

Thanks for your reply.

Our communication with London office has been via email, so would we receive the letter via email or would this one be via regular mail?

The other question is, would we have to send passport to London or would they ask us to bring passports to Islamabad embassy?

And no, status changed yesterday from "In Process" to "Decision reached". We completed medicals and background check, police certificates (from both canada and pakistan)

Thank you

Also, I have read that visa is only valid for 1 year from the last medical date. Is this true?
