I applied for the BOWP on july 23, and no words till now. the ircc state 165 days processing time. What makes me upset is everytime I applied for something, it will always way past the due date for a few months. on march 204 I applied for the visitor record and took them 8 months!
I can understand you friend, I applied on July 3 and still waiting. Same way I applied sowp for my wife and processing time was 3 months but she got result after 6 months. IRCC works in weird ways, some people get result very quickly while some has to wait ages for results.

Everyone who got approval, they got Biometric Validity Letter. And next day or so, they got Final Decision. So you should get your FD today or tomorrow for sure. Best of Luck
I've seen some denials after BVL too, so I'm not counting my chickens yet! Nothing else has updated on my account yet, I will post when it does!
