Processing hasn’t been two weeks in years since before Covid. Spouse may not be processed at the same time. Ask your question under Foreign Workers.

I got my WP approved in 2021 in under 20 days

My application was submitted on 31st may 2021 and I got my PPR on 8th June 2021. I got my passport back with the W1 Visa and Approval letter by June 16th 2021.

It was NOC code 2173 under IMP/GSS. My application was submitted inside Canada. There are no fixed timelines unfortunately. Since you submitted the biometrics on 30th Take 2-3 weeks from that date. The processing starts when you submit your biometrics.

I am thinking to raise a webform to request an update regarding my visa application as the processing time Mentioned in the website been crossed . What are your views on this? Is it worth of giving a try or does raising a webform make any negative impact on my profile??

Congratulations … on that !!
I applied on IMP as-well , processing time on website was 9 weeks when I submitted my application , then after a week it was changed to 7 weeks , now it is showing 10 weeks (updated on 1 feb 2023) i am very anxious as there is no update on my application and the status is still under processing !
my Noc code is 11201 and as per website my job comes under Teer 1 and my employer paid the fees to IRCC. Do i come under GSS??

Processing times can still be up to a few months with GSS.
