Did you SA approval has Visa office name? In my email it just said application will be forwarded for further processing.
mine said, "The Application for Permanent Residence for your relative(s) will be forwarded to the visa office in Accra for further processing."

Where did you give out your biometrics? We gave it around the same date but we didn't hear anything back.
We gave it in Islamabad. But nobody hears anything back...they will just have it on your GCkey account. Mine simply said biometrics enrolled: march 3 2021 and biometrics expiration: March 3 2031. You will see it in the information box on the top right hand corner of the screen.

Hi guys,

Can you please advise how long does it take from Sponsor Approval to PR approval? I know with covid, the timelines are different but whats the general difference between the two.

There is no dedicated answer, it varies depends on the PA applicant visa office and application itself, I know some people got in 4 months after their SA approval.

They asked my PA for a police report as well. I got my SA and AOR after they emailed me for the additional info/form. I assume they will process the sponsor's application but hold off on the Permanent resident application for the PA. We haven't gotten a Medical request, I assume they will ask when I submit the police report.
Please look at my timeline. My husband was asked for an additional Police Certificate. This came first along with BIL and 1 day later we received MR.

After waiting a month from when I got my AOR1 I finally got my SA and MR!. I also got my biometrics payment reminder. I have submitted my payment receipt though the web form. UGG this process is so crazy and nerve-wracking.

That's great news! Hoping I get them soon too since I have to apply for CSQ.

Well at least with AOR1 you know your file is complete. It is tough waiting though.
I got my SA and Québec received my application on March 2nd. Yesterday I got an acknowledgment letter in the mail as well as a payment receipt. Still waiting on the CSQ, but it helps to know they are processing my application.
All things considered, so far I’ve been getting responses at a faster rate than I expected. Doesn’t mean my process won’t get halted at some point.

The real wait is when it gets transferred to the VO so the delay they're doing in Sydney makes it longer for us. Glad your file is faster.
