Applied to SOWP along with SP in July. SP approved but SOWP still pending

[fl0]

Hi there people.
As the title says, we applied for a SP and a SOWP in early July. SP was approved in late November, but still zero news about the SOWP. Is this still considered normal? Or should we start to worry?
Anyone with a similar timeline?

SOWPs can take longer and are not necessarily approved/refused at the same time.

I applied before COVID and it was approved within 2 weeks. But right now due to covid, I've heard that SOWP applications are taking very long to be processed, some have been waiting for 6-8 months now.

Have you tried contacting IRCC via their web form and their call center? They should give you an update.

SOWP applications took many months even before covid in most countries.

Oh I see, well then I guess I was lucky as the official processing time at that time was "90 days" for my country.
