I applied for SWP for my wife within Canada on 12th Jul. She is here on Visitor visa as my dependent. Haven't go any update. Anyone knows how much time it takes to get SWP when applied within Canada?
The official service standard as posted on IRCC website is 51 days for any sort of work permit extension from within Canada; however, there are some cases on this forum that have been waiting way longer than that for a spouse permit..

Isn't processing duration for new WP application different from WP extension?

Hi all. I have a bad news I got my refusal on 22th August. They have mentioned that you have not meet the requirements.
But i don’t know my agent checked my file again and all fine.so we have requested to get proper reason notes to New Delhi embassy
Did you perform the medicals tests? Or they just rejected your application without even ask for it? Also, they usually send a letter with the reasons.

If you require LMIA work permit can take 4-6 with LMIA. SOWP takes around 4 months.
