Hi all, can everyone applied for written authorization share their timeline?
I'm on work permit and my spouse has valid TRV, we applied for written authorization for her on June 23rd, 2021 and still waiting
How long does it take to hear back from IRCC?

You will need to submit an ATIP request in order to see the visa officer's actual notes on their refusal of your application. The refusal letter is generic and not helpful at all. I did this with my girlfriend's first TRV refusal and was able to address all the deficiencies the visa officer wrote down. Without those notes, I don't know if I would have known the exact reasons for the refusal.

You will need to have a friend or family member currently residing in Canada as a citizen or PR do this for you.

Anyone here receiving authorization letters. I am waiting for more than a month and not received any response. If anyone is on TRV in Canada and applied for their immediate family members authorization, just want to know if there is any hope from IRCC processing the requests. Please update. Thank you. Waiting for more than 7 months here for my spouse to join me. The wait has no end point.

Why do you need Authorization letter now.. Canada is now open to all visitors
Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, foreign nationals who don't qualify as fully vaccinated will only be allowed to enter in specific circumstances...There's no qualified vaccine available in my country...so...still subject to the restriction.
