SOWP Application Delayed Beyond Processing Time

[Trupti21]

Hello everyone,
I applied for my husband's SOWP on March 9th, and our application series number is W3102. It has now been 21 weeks, while the current processing timeline is 19 weeks.

I've heard that raising a webform might push the application back and potentially delay the result further.
Has anyone else experienced this? What would you recommend? Any advice or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you.

Hey, there’s a work permit tracker (that includes a few SOWP cases) here that you can reference for other people’s timelines: https://myimmitracker.com/en/ca/trackers/consolidated-work-permits-tracker

Also, there’s a WhatsApp group for spousal sponsorship applicants that I’ve found who you can ask about the potential webform related delay because I don’t know if that’d be necessarily be the case?

Posted processing times are host estimated average. Not unusual to wait around 6 months. No benefit of sending webform.

This is stressful:
SOWP for PGWP holder working in Canada in TIER 1 job. Application submitted on April 18 from Nepal. Biometric updated the very next day. Upfront medical done, but even the medical is not updated.
Back then processing time was 16 weeks, now it is 33 weeks (are you serious?). If processing time was this much, I would have applied for visitor visa which would have been quicker and then applied for OWP from inside Canada.
What would be the best option besides waiting for 6-month long wait-period which seems to increase every week?
