Me and my wife have applied for work visa. I being primary applicant (job with lmia) applied for closed work permit and my wife being dependent applied for open work permit.

My wife have received her passport back with stamped visa and me being primary applicant still waiting and the status says the passport is with ircc from 16th march. I am worried that they are taking long would it cause any issue assuming all my document are correct.
Please can somebody tell me if this is normal

Note:- I have already mailed vfs and raised webform to ircc.

There is nothing to worry about. If your wife recvd the passport with stamped visa then the job is done. It just a matter of time.

Good Luck!
