Well, I received a new message in myCIC today, saying it is approved, and they will MAIL it to the address I provided with the application (so, regular mail), and I think it will take a while for me to receive it. It's weird for me to apply online, and then receive the approval by post, but I have learned to expect anything I've seen on the forum that everyone receives it by post.
It didn't say how many months, but I assume they approve it for the period you asked for in your forms - I asked for about 10 months).
In addition, if you didn't do upfront medical, you will have 30 days to do one, they provide you with the forms.
