I have received my ITA on April 17th. I am the primary applicant and I don't have any gaps in my employment. However, for my spouse, there is a gap of two months between two different companies. So should I mention this in the Letter of Explanation? Is it required?
 
Is there any understanding about why timeline changes from 4 months to 17 weeks?

It's just rounding. For the sake of argument, anything between 4.5 months (18 weeks) and 4 months (16 weeks) could be displayed as 4 months, but as 18, 17, or 16 weeks.

You will probably see that the estimated completion date has remained unchanged (and is just your AoR date + 6 months), so it's all just cosmetic :)

If there is a gap, you must specify why that is within the document; for instance, "Unemployed," or "Looking for a Job" etc.

You can/should show this in your spouse's Personal History (as a period of unemployment) as suggested by @Tomifonication . Shouldn't be in an LoE.

Hey Guys,

Just got my PPR today (April 23rd 2019). My AOR was February 7th 2019.

Just a heads up to all those who have Passports expiring soon, there was a condition in my Passport request letter saying that there needs to be 12 months of validity at the time of receiving this letter.

Good luck to everyone! Its only a matter of time!

I have a really simple application. Only 2 year Canadian education, 1 year full time job, and little to no travel history. As a matter of fact, I was in Canada when I was 17 so they don't need to check my background from my home country. Let's see what happens next. What is your AOR and stream?
