Please note that all values between 0 and 5 are shown as “--”. This is done to prevent individuals from being identified when IRCC data is compiled and compared to other publicly available statistics. All other values are rounded to the closest multiple of 5 for the same reason; as a result of rounding, data may not sum to the totals indicated.

Please note: Data is operational and subject to change.

Processing times refer to the time in which 80% of applications were finalized by IRCC and include applications that were finalized in the six month period ending on the date stated for PR, and 8 week period for TR lines of business. Please note that a minimum of 10 cases are required to calculate processing times.
