SOWP Outland India – Why Different Processing Times?

[nevil9]

Just asking out of curiosity, not as a competition.

My wife and my friend's wife have very similar profiles: both applying from India, Bachelor's + Master's, and both husbands have the same TEER 1 job. We also submitted medical/biometrics around the same time.

I applied about 1 week before my friend, but his wife's SOWP was approved about 1 week ago, while mine is still processing. So I applied earlier, but my application is now almost 2 weeks behind his approval.

Why does IRCC process similar applications in such different orders? For those who applied recently, how long did your SOWP take, and when should I expect a decision?

Would appreciate any recent experiences. Thanks!

Processing is not a strict chronological process because a variety of things within process may take shorter/longer than other applicants. A few weeks differences would still be considered that same processing time. If there was many months differences that would be more than a margin of error difference. How long is left on your souse’s WP? How long have you been married and gad you been living together in India before getting a WP in Canada? How long have you lived in Canada?

IRCC doesn’t always process applications strictly in the order they’re submitted. Even very similar SOWP applications can be handled by different officers or offices and may require different verification steps. Your friend getting approved earlier doesn’t necessarily indicate an issue with your application. If you’re still within the official processing time, a delay of a couple of weeks is generally not unusual. Keep checking your IRCC account for updates, and consider contacting IRCC if your application goes beyond the posted processing time.
