About Canadian Immigration Processing Times
The processing time begins the day Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) receives an application and ends the day a final decision is made.
Generally, the processing time for any given application depends on the following factors:
- the type of application submitted
- if the application is complete;
- how quickly IRCC expects to process applications already in the system;
- how easily applicants’ information can be verified;
- how long applicants take to respond to any requests or concerns; and
- other factors.
