    My SOWP took 8 months before it was approved. I received a letter from IRCC I’m on maintained status until a decision has been made. I think that my GCKey is not updated.

    IRCC requested 3 additional docs last Dec. I didn't have the AOR yet when I applied for OWP. I kept on emailing through the webform and got 2 responses which both told me that I am on maintained status.

    I spoke to someone in the other forum. I'm on the same boat. No approval yet since I applied. Someone mentioned that I am ‘in maintained status’ until decision has been made. The consultant also said that there's no rhyme or rhythm to this, but there are cases in the previous cases that SOWP and...

    How long is the background check for the SOWP? I applied in July and never heard from them. I just noticed the changes the other day. I have received and forwarded the AOR, SA, and AIP via web form at least a couple of times.
