I'm very jealous of your turnaround lol! We're waiting on OWP, and it seems like August applicants aren't as lucky as July! I don't think any of us have got the OWP yet.
June applicant here, still cant link the OWP to my gckey ;-;

Aug. applicants here, same situation :( I wish I could have the good luck like July applicants...
Same! I know that it used to be 3-4 months for OWP, but I got so hopeful looking at the July applicants who all seem to have got it within like 3 weeks!

That sucks! The GCKey doesn't really show anything - at least not on ours anyways. It just says that it's in process, and that they'll send a message if it changes. But eligibility hasn't started and it says it doesn't need anything else. :(

I just wish it would come quickly! Visitor status is like being in limbo.

Being able to see other's timelines is both a blessing and a curse. If I hadn't seen others' timelines and known that OWP basically doesn't even happen for online applicants, we would've applied online.

At the same time, seeing the quick turnarounds for OWP in July has made me really nervous that something's wrong with ours. If I didn't know many May/June/July applicants had gotten them around the point where we are now, I'd be more relaxed lol.

Any update? My husband submitted our application today. Outland, paper based too.

Well that's cool! I hope we see the same, haha. Funny that it went so quick, but I think that means SA shouldn't be too far off for you!
I heard that SA comes towards the end of the process for inland applicants? I assume I wouldn't see it until COPR is almost here. Maybe that's not the case?
