Hi everyone,

I have been been following this forum for long, but never posted anything. As I see a lot of people here are worried, hence writing this post.

My SOWP timeline (Online application):

Applied 17th January
Medical Request 01st March
Medicals Passed 06th March
Passport Request 15th March
Passport Returned 22nd March

Documents submitted apart from what they asked for (under letter of explanation):
Proof of my spouse’s admission & studies (Visa, Study Permit, Offer Letter, SIN)
Proof of Finances
Proof of relationship in addition to the marriage certificate given along with the application (pictures)
Proof of English Proficiency & Education (I don't think it is required, I just added it)
I did not include a letter of invitation from my spouse

The latest update has been today but it has been dated as March 20. I have been checking it since last 4 days for updates but I only got it today.
They are now much slower in updating than before.
