Hi all, thought I'd start a thread for London Visa Office passport stamping timelines. Please follow the below format if you're going to submit your timeline! I was advised 1-3 weeks by our immigration lawyers, but am hoping it is faster than this.

--
Type of application:
Spouse Open Work Permit (as spouse is from a country that does not have an ETA arrangement with Canada, her passport must be stamped for her work permit - even if mine does not need to be).
My timeline so far:
15/06/2022 - Application for a work permit submitted (LMIA/GSS)
20/06/2022 - Biometrics submitted
27/09/2022 - Passport request
28/09/2022 - Passport submitted at London VFS
29/09/2022 - Tracking status updated to "received and is under process at the IRCC Office on 2022/09/29"
