Good morning,
My wife and I applied for Inland Spousal Sponsorship back on July 29.2015. We included an application for OWP with the PR application. We received official confirmation from CIC on Oct 31.2015 that our application(s) were received. It is our understanding, that through the 1 yesr Pilot program started in the fall of 2014, CIC will attempt to issue OWP within 4 months from the date the courier delivers the application(s). Is this timeline correct? My wife is currently in status through a Visitors Visa. I am a Canadian Citizen by birth.
Thanks in advance,
John

Hello John,
Thank you for sharing your situation and question with us.
According to the Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) website,
SCLPC applicants whose permanent resident applications are received after December 22, 2014 will have their application for an open work permit processed within four months of receipt of their work permit application.
You may want to contact the Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) Call Centre directly to confirm this information.
I hope this information is helpful. Please let us know if you have further questions and if there is any follow up to your question/situation.
