Hi,
I've just found this forum while waiting for my application (SOWP).
Here's my timeline (In Canada - Online application - Quebec applicants)
Applied on 10 May
Approved on 31 May (I received 2 notifications by email for updates and new message from CIC)
Papers received by mail already (within the same week
)
Therefore, the waiting time was 22 days for my case. I'm really surprised since I thought the whole restoration process would take 3 months.
I included in my application all the required documents as much as possible and a detailed explanation letter to clarify my situation with justifications.
Good luck, everyone!
