SOWP Processing Timeline

[GoJets69]

Hello Everyone,

just wanted to know what the current processing time for SOWP in India is?

I applied for SOWP on Dec,15 2023, Medicals and Biometrics have been completed.

background eligibility has started
Eligibility requirements not yet started

when I applied the processing time was showing 15 weeks for India now it jumped to 20 weeks. I do not know what IRCC is doing, I have had people previously getting their SOWP in 2 months.

is anyone on the same boat?

Approval in 2 months is very unusual. Spouses applying for SOWP often wait 5-6 months. How does she qualify for SOWP and did you recently get married and was this an arranged marriage and do you have a lot of relationship time in person?

Hi

Is your spouse is on study permit or on work permit in Canada. Or you both applied simultaneously from India.

We applied for closed work permit and open work permit on 1 Jan, 2024 and waiting for medical and biometrics request.
