Processing times PR

Processing times will vary based on

  • the type of application
  • if the application is complete
  • how quickly we expect to process applications we’ve already received
  • how easily we can verify your information
  • how long you take to respond to any requests or concerns
  • other factors

Your processing time may also be affected if more people apply to immigrate to Canada than we can bring in each year.
