When did you applied for SOWP? Could you please share your application timeline? And did you applied for travel exemption through email ? Does that email helped to prioritize your SOWP application ?

Yes, emailing IRCC does help prioritize the application. We applied in the first week of November and got the ETA around mid-December.

I am just wondering if they are even processing applications from India given the flight ban and VAC getting closed. U have any Idea? I was also thinking to send Webform to prioritize my wife's SOWP from India but confused.

@Shweta51190 Was your application processed after webform ?
No .. we are still waiting for SOWP decision. When we called IRCC the agent told us in June that our travel exemption was approved in May end itself but we don't see any updated on application.

Could you please share some details on how you applied for travel exemption? What is the email address?

Hello everyone. I am currently in Vancouver on Study Permit for a year now. I have my study permit valid until March 2025. I applied for my Open Work Permit for my spouse and she got her visa approved. Her Open Work Permit is valid until March 2025.
We have submitted an authorization for travel due to COVID 19 restrictions, but we were denied.

Was anyone here in the same situation? What would you now recommend me to do? Should I submit request again?
