Processing is around 20 weeks so within normal processing times. What is status of your spouse in Canada? Showed proof of employment, paystubs etc.

Hi Prasanth, I am facing the same issue. I submitted it at the end of March though. My agent says there have been no approvals or rejections in the past 3 months. I see its been a long time for you. Let me know if you get any update or so?

Where did spouse apply from? Status in Canada? You only applied 3 weeks ago.

True but I wish to attend my spouse's convocation in end of May. Hence the rush. applied form India.
All you can do is wait. Are you truly visiting or planning to stay and apply for SOWP? That may be the issue with IRCC with you showing ties to return.

Just want to be with my spouse!
That wasn’t my question. Everyone wants to be with spouse. Are you planning just to visit and then leave or stay and apply for SOWP? That is what IRCC will be wondering. If just visiting you would have shown ties to return.

I have already applied for SOWP so I said I will stay. That is why I have joined the forum.
So if from India, processing is around 20 weeks. When past processing time then raise a webform. Did you apply with your spouse’s PGWP application?
