Are the processing times accurate for SOWP?

I'm applying for my spouse's open work permit and as per IRCC's website, it takes 9 weeks to process it for Iran. How accurate are these estimates?

The reason I ask is that I applied for her tourist visa in January and there have been no updates ever since. If SOWP takes 9 weeks and the processing time estimates are more or less accurate, then it's best I withdraw the tourist visa and apply for this instead.
