Okay, if one has landed in Canada as a student, can he apply for his wife's SOWP or TRV? how long it takes for either of these two visas?
SOWP can only be applied with inland spousal PR applications as far as I know. There is a general OWP which students can apply after graduating. For TRV, it is independent of whether you are a student or not, basically student permit is not a visa, it is a document which goes along with a TRV (Temporary Resident Visa) which is stamped on the person's passport after getting approval.

Regarding how long, nothing is certain these days! Hope it clarifies your doubt.

so you are saying that either one apply for his wife at the time of applying for study permit, or he can't apply for SOWP after landing in Canada?

Hopefully, IRCC clears the application of all students for the May 2021 intake by 20th April. Otherwise, it will be difficult for students to schedule their travel considering a quarantine requirement.

Got approved today...timeline is in signature
Congrats tarun :)
My review of eligibility started on 04/Mar/2021, but no response.
Is it a good/bad sign it Embassy takes more time in giving BVL from the date of Review of eligibility started?

That’s a bit too early mate. Good luck on convincing border officer why you arrived so early in Canada even though all of the studies in Canada are conducted online.

you can refer to these links to understand better. A sponsor person can only apply for SOWP for their spouse, if there is an existing inland spousal PR application or if the the sponsor is on a valid student permit. I dont know your situation and your spouse's situation so if you could explain that would help me understand it better.

I am single but I want to marry before I go, so wouldn't be taking my wife with me but will have to apply after I land in Canada.
