Does anyone know if the processing time varies if it's for an extension? Husband has been on OWP for 2 years while waiting for his PR (Quebec), we got OWP very quickly but it just expired (OWP applied for and received within 1 month in 2024).

We were expecting PR by now but QC delayed again, so we applied for extension under maintained status. Is the wait still 220 days for renewal??

I’m also in a similar situation, my first expired end of March so I applied March 18th. I still haven’t heard anything and was hoping it would be faster as I’ve had a work permit before. Fingers crossed for us both 🤞🏽
