I have applied for Closed work permit for myself, open work permit for spouse and Study permit for a 4 year old from India using online portal.

here's the timeline
Application submitted on 20th feb
Biometrics request for spouse on 26th feb
Biometrics completed on 28th feb and shows completed
I submitted upfront medical and March 12th it shows you have passed medical

Processing time for work permit from india shows 5 weeks, i am wondering why we haven't got request for wife's medical. I Understand things are slow because of COVID-19 and hospitals in india are mostly closed for such things but just curious if there's any timeline provided by ircc for such applications in this situation.

I read somewhere that biometrics letters are now valid for 90 days instead of 30, so is there anything similar for work permit applications?
