Ok, Assuming your wife doesn't has any legal status in Canada so if your wife is in India the the processing times would apply as per the India visa offices though now they have changed the processing times . Earlier it used to be by specific visa office location now its showing 2 months for India.

Even I applied for my spouse online on Dec 25, 2015 till now no updates.

I have seen on this forum paper applications are getting processed way faster then online application

People from October are still waiting. so the list as far as I know is

1. Jazz67 applied in Oct 2015
2. Jojy Jose Applied in Oct 2015
3. Rkapoor applied on Dec 25, 2015
4. Gaman
5. GreenHak

Fingers crossed! Good Luck!

Hi, which documents did you attach along with your SOWP application? the online questionnaire does not ask for any financial documents.

When you submit online, you should make a single pdf of additional document and upload with your Letter of Explanation.

I attached documents explaining status of my spouse in Canada, Proof of relationship, Financial documents (bank statements and investments).

In addition to that, you should submit documents to demonstrate your back home ties.

Good luck
