Hi Guys,
My wife is also studying in Canada and applied spouse open work permit on June 17th 2019 .When I was applying the CIC website showed me 19 weeks processing time and my current status is on back ground check and now presently showing 44 weeks if we apply from UAE.

I observed some guys are applied from UAE and crossed 41 weeks .

Anybody having positive result who applied from UAE.

All applications from Abu dhabi center are taking months. Mine took 9 months

Work Visa Application submitted May 13th, 2019 (submitted from Canada but online and it was sent to the Abu Dhabi office, since I applied from Qatar)
Biometrics given on May 15th, 2019
Approval received on Feb 16th, 2020

Hope it helps. Best of Luck.
