Really ? Anyone in this forum who applied on Feb/March got any response ?

I stopped tracking my application as I know there will not be any change until the one month benchmark. ::)

So once one month is completed, I will gain back my nervousness and start tracking again :p
Well technically yes, but as I described in my earlier post, it might be a different scenario for me. But yes, we submitted children study permit extensions around Feb 11 and those were approved last week. This was inside Canada though.

Similarly, a SOWP extension submitted around Dec 15 was approved Feb 2.

Again these were extensions for people already living and working in Canada and parents already had valid work permits. Plus PR process was completed by the time as well - only landing pending. So this may or may not have affected the speed of processing. I still have another child visitor record application pending, which was submitted early Feb.

Hi rkapoor,

You probably saw my post in one of the other threads. I applied in March with upfront medical and got an update saying "medical passed". However, other members have commented that medical is generally passed quickly enough and it's the verification of other documents that actually takes time.

Ahaa!!! But that's a good sign at least that means they are working in your application within the time frame.

Good Luck!!

I understand what you are going through. I just applied from February 16 and I am stressed out. Sorry to hear about the long wait.

I dnt think so there is any spreadsheet for SOWP, here is my little try for that, other people may add their names and dates too, that will be helpful.
