1. Average processing times for most applications is 12 months. You are still within that 12 month period.
2. You are an outland applicant and therefore are not eligible for an open work permit.

Most straight forward Outland Spousal Sponsorship follow these process steps (the order of the steps may vary)
  1. Application received at IRCC Mississauga
  2. CIC Mississauga start processing application
  3. Receive Acknowledgement of Receipt (AOR 1)
  4. Link Application to Online Account
  5. Upload Schedule A form
  6. Sponsor Approval and File transfer to VO
  7. VO starts processing PR application (AOR 2)
  8. Receive Request for Medical Exam
  9. Medical Exam @ IRCC Panel Physician Clinic
  10. Medical Exam Result
  11. Passport Request (PPR)
  12. Pick-up Permanent Residency Visa (PUM)
Its not uncommon not to hear from IRCC for months after medical.......spousal sponsorship process completion time varies depending on the Visa Office and on a case basis.......will advice you assume process completion takes 12months to help reduce the waiting stress.......relax.....its a wait.

You are currently living in India and outside Canada and can’t apply for Inland Sponsorship with Open Work Permit while you live in India.
To apply for Inland Spousal Sponsorship with Open work Permit….both the Sponsor and the Principal Applicant must be living inside Canada.

You are not eligible to apply for Open Work Permit with a visitor visa in Canada.

When you finally land as a PR.....then you can work.

For Visitor Visa process time.......refer......Check application processing times

Is there an option for you to apply for a visitors visa and spend some time here in Canada while you continue to wait for your PR?

Most likely it will be refused. If you married someone knowing they had PR the Canada you should have been aware of the sponsorship time.
