Does anyone know how long the OWPs if approved are given for?

My Vistitor Visa expires May 7th. If Imy partner doesn't get the AOR by 2 weeks before hand, it looks like I can apply straight for the OWP without the AOR according to the site.
I'm wondering, do they approve the OWPs for the estimated time that it takes for the Sponsorship Applications to run (est. 24 months atm)? Curious as to other's understanding or experiences.
 
July 2024 Inland Applicant here - My partner applied for SOWP recently and got two years - this is similar to other people who have replied on other threads (recently discussed in the May 2024 thread if you're curious and want to take a look).
Hope that helps :)

Got an email today asking for more information about where I currently live but reviewing my application, I had clearly submitted it. So My update is that I got asked to resubmit the IM5669

Does anyone know how long it takes once they ask for more information? I've resubmitted with explination (it literally was just a date issue, very simple fix)

I'm worried because looking online it says it can take 6 months to review additional documentation. :eek: I haven't gotten AOR yet, today would have been that day.

UPDATE: I was able to make the account for the tracker today! No AOR email though but I did see that you can't make a tracker account without the AOR so that's something I guess, a ghost update!

Hey! Could I ask how you made the account with the AOR? Not sure how I can find the UCI or application number without it
