Hi there

Based in your experience how long it will take to be approved as a sponsor and my sponsored person to get the Pr? We both live temporary In Greece and we followed the outland Familys class sponsor procedure.

Thank you very much
George

Hi George, sponsor approval time can be checked online on CIC website, currently 53 days. In my experience sponsoring my husband (Applied Feb 2016), once Rome received the application, they completed processing in just over a month and sent us passport & fee request. It took us a while to get the passport returned - about 8 weeks, because we hadn't paid right of permanent residence fee upfront when we submitted the application. Overall between application submission and passport returned, it was 5 months. Another Rome applicant applied in November 2015 and got their Passport Request the same day as us, but received it back the next week, for a total of about 7 months.

If your application is visa exempt (If a Greek passport is involved) you won't have to wait extra time for passport to be sent and returned, so it could be faster.
