Let's talk about reality:
1. Sowp applications are still accepted by IRCC
2. Those who have applied for SOWP in 2020 and 2021, there are applications which are approved ( many already travelled, many still waiting due to Covid restrictions)
3. IRCC cannot reject applications stating that there is unemployment. Hence all applications will be processed
4. IRCC is working with limited staff and very soon the pending OWP applications will be processed.
5. If the application if from India (CIC Delhi) city unlock is beginning June 7, 2021. Those application which exceeds processing time can raise a webform to get to know the status which mostly is not reflecting in the ircc website.
--Thanks Jeeneet for your detailed reply, since SOWP is an option I choose that one, reunion with family is what Im expecting. just asked if the processing is completely halt or some thing is going on in the backend or not.

Thanks Again.

Hello All. All sowp threads are silent. The processing time has also increased to 26 weeks. I applied sowp in April 2021 with upfront medical. Biometric in July 2021 and it is updated. No further updates at all.

Oh, I did the same process on August 2021, and waiting for their results, after reading this I frustrated, We hope to travel together with our children, but now it's seems impossible. Please let us know if there any update in your process. Thanks
