OWP included with Spousal Sponsorship

Sponsoring Family
1

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
