I callled them and they said that it has been sent to ircc after the results came in . If any other tests are needed (if something was abnormal)they would have notified at that point of time only. IRCC is going crazy these days.
Yeah, that's true. If your medical records haven't been updated yet, there's no need to worry. There's a possibility that they will update your medical information and issue the PPR (Passport Request) simultaneously. Additionally, with the recent 20k GIC update, there have been thousands of applications submitted before December 31st. Considering the holiday season with Christmas, Boxing Day, and New Year holidays, there might be some backlogs. Let`s stay positive and wait for results.

Anyone here in this Forum who has submitted for SOWP ( Spouse Open Work Permit) Visa?
I submitted on 24th Nov, Biometric was updated on 29th Nov, Till now no update on Medical and the Current Status shows on GCKEY shows: Your Application is under process.

Any news how much time it is currently taking to process SOWP Visa . I am from India.

Process is between 9-12 weeks even for the majority of SDS files. Eligibility has started for you so you may get a response before your friend if your background check doesn’t take long. So will you get it on time - maybe. If you don’t have response by first week of February then defer.

9-12 Weeks
So it isn't 20-25 days
What should we do if it doesn't comes on time?

Defer. Very few people have it processed in 20-25 days. Don’t know why IRCC still states this since this hasn’t been in place since before COVID. Now some people get it processed in those timeframes depending on program (Masters/PhD) and citizenship but most people on this forum have been waiting many months.
