Hi. I just want to ask about my application. My husband and I applied from Japan. He is a Japanese, I'm a non-Japanese. He applied for an employer specific work permit, while an open work permit for me. We applied on July 14. His application got approved on August 5. Mine is still processing. May I ask for an idea how long it will take for mine to have a decision? Here's what I see in the IRCC account.

You should exepct the decision at anytime. Based on some previous references shared by forum members, it is normal to get a delay in between receiving the results for family members. Some received their decisions 1 week apart.

Thank you very much for the kind reply. Hopefully I get mine soon. My husband and I are both anxious if we can go together. His work starts on October so we already booked tickets for September 22.

When I get the passport request, usually how long does it take to get it back?

Depending on locations of Visa office. It can take up to 2 weeks if visa office is in different country than the country you applied

I have applied Spouse open work permit and Visitor visa to my kid(4 years old) on Mar 2021. Only Biometric is passed. No other updates. My Current Work permit will ends on Nov 2021, I am yet to apply the extension.

Whether IRCC Process my SOWP and Visitor Visa to my kid now? In case if they process How long it will be given?
As per "New Instructions from IRCC for Visitor VISA - applications before 7th Sep 2021 for Family re union" - Can I re-apply under this recommendation?
