So you started working? There is no “real” processing time because it changes week to week. Processing is 3-4 months on average.

It is because of the number of people applying for WP (SOWP, BOWP, PGWP, WP) within Canada which numbers in the hundreds of thousands vs where you live and maybe only a few a month. It is a staffing issue too.

But you decided to come to Canada as a visitor, correct ?
Your decision.
Then you decided to go look for a job, on said visitor status , correct ?
Your decision.
Then it would have probably have been better to have applied for the job permit in your country .
But you decided to come as visitor .
