Hi all
I have applied for Spousal Open Work permit on 6th April 2023. On 1st May 2023 it showing me that we are reviewing your eligibility. Since then there's no changes in my application. Can anyone tell me how much time it will take for the decision. Is anyone received their SOWP Visa recently?
Thanks in advance

Depends where you live. Did you complete medical, biometrics, and background check?

Have you got your decision yet? I hope you have. If not, then all I can say is, there is no fixed timeline for SOWP decision (depends a lot on the SOP and other documents IRCC looks for). Me and my husband applied together (SP + SOWP). We received our PPR in 25 days from the submission of application. Considering your application date, you should receive a decision very soon. Have faith. I'm hoping you'll get a good news soon.

Our timeline; just for reference:
Applied: 2 May
Biometric: 9 May
Medical, BVL, PPR: 26 May

All the best to you.

Look at IRCC processing times from country you are applying from.
