Can anyone share how long before you receive the passport back after submission by the Canadian Mumbai Consulate/VFS ?

Have you started sponsoring your spouse if you are a PR? Tough to say what will happen with the TRav but in general it is tough for spouses of Canadian PRs and citizens to get TRVs because it is assumed they will remain in Canada. If you applied while on a WP or SP you should really be applying for an SOWP not TRV. It would be really unfortunate if you weren’t approved and hadn’t started the other applications yet.

I have also applied for Spousal sponsorship; applied in June. No updates yet.

The review durations are extremely random.'
Ive observed it on this group. People saying their review started in the evening and they got BVL andd PPR within 5 minutes or later by midnight.
On the other hand, I've seen people waiting for it for a looong time. Take me for instance. My review started on 2nd of August. And it's still in progress even after 7 weeks.
Good luck! And try to be patient about it!

As understood after analysing the moderate data on this forum, sometimes background & review of eligibility starts almost together, in this case it will take 3 to 4 months approximately as per current processing trends. However, sometimes review of eligibility starts after 2 or 3 months of background processing then it should be around few weeks, may be 2 to 4 weeks. This is based on my understanding which may be wrong. Regards

I applied for a visitor visa (I am not an Indian, nor did I apply in India) and am still waiting, so I guess it is not country specific.

Probably a combination of a lack of staff, Covid + backlog because of Ukrainians and students.
