Dear All,

I need a help from your experiences and current trend going on visa processing.
I applied for SOWP as my wife is in Canada on work permit since Sep'18 under the NOC B,and before that she was on student visa from May'17 to Aug'18.
I applied through paper application on 5th April'19 and got request for medicals on 12th April'19.
Medical Passed on 22nd April, since than it is showing that file is under processing for background check.

When I can expect PPR?

Where does it say 5 weeks?

As of now, processing time from India is 97 days. Remember you need to choose "work permit application (new employer)" while checking for SOWP processing time

Processing time for only TRV is just 13 days.

For work (SOWP) they regularly update processing times here :
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/check-processing-times.html

Remember, thes are average processing times. Your application might get processed faster or slower than this.
Work permit extension (new employer)



These applications can be submitted online or by paper.



Online

97 days ?

Working on applications received on January 20, 2019.

Paper

108 days ?

Working on applications received on January 9, 2019.


You may need to give biometrics with your application. This processing time doesn’t include the time you need to give your biometrics.

I would suggest you to go ahead and apply for SOWP. Also go with upfront medical. I have seen that it makes processing faster
