Hi everyone
My spouse for whom I applied for OWP, got a BVL yesterday. However, the final decision is not there. In the status box it says,
Latest update:
Final decision - July 10, 2023:Your application is in progress. We will send you a message once the final decision has been made.
What does this mean?

Hi, did you get a decision on your application? if yes, then when? I am in the same boat as you. It has been 30 days since I submitted the application.
It's been almost 7 weeks since I got my BVL and my medical updated. Still the status is showing 'in progress'. Already submitted the IRCC webform but no response.

Hey @saleslucas94! Yes, we have arrived in Canada. It's crazy how much things needs to be done on this side, no less than prior to arriving, but we have settled in nicely. How about you? How are you doing?

Hey @dcostaanisha! Family applications can easily take up to 20 weeks to process, so I would say you are looking at the need to defer your studies. We've been through the same thing, had to defer my studies for one year. It's OK, the most important thing is for you to get an approval. Believe me, the deferral won't matter once you are in Canada. Good luck! 
Am just wondering, whether it would alright to withdraw spouse visa, so that atleat for student the approval comes quicker and there would be no need to defer?
Can we do that while the application still shows 'in progress'?

Hey @dcostaanisha! No, you definitely won't be able to expedite your study application in this way and you should NOT do that! The withdraw takes around 16 weeks for the IRCC to even consider and then may be a few more to complete. That will ONLY DELAY your application! This is because your spouse is tied up to your application, they are not separated.
And on a personal note, it is much better to get the approval together and travel to Canada together. Believe me, you do not want to go through the stress of separation, especially at the time of moving to a new country.
Your best shot is to leave everything as it is. As frustrating as it is, this IS the fastest way to get your decision. And if it comes to deferral, so be it, talk to your university, I am sure they will support you.

[/QUOTE thanks for the advise, so would wait
@parrots I also wanted to ask, the process. I mean, now once we inform the uni and the program for me is deferred to next year, do I need to update something to IRCC? and if so when? Wait for the decision and after that or right away?
am assuming after the in progress decision changes to let's says visa granted' then which documents and how to update to IRCC? Also, I had not added our kids in this joint application so far, as had planned to take them after their academic session completed in Feb 24. Now that this looks like September 24 for me, can I amend the overall application or apply fresh for
THEN, what is next....how soon are we allowed to go to Canada, I was reading not before 90 days of the course start date?
Hello everyone. I got my normal student visa rejected twice with my Senegalese passport. I applied with SDS on September 2nd with my medical and biometrics already complete. I applied with an experienced agent so the application is very in depth and extensive. My ielts score was an 8 and I added a long letter explaining the reason for the past rejections. When do you think my visa will arrive approximately? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
