How we calculated this processing time
This processing time is how long we expect it will take us to process an application if we receive it today.
It’s based on
- how many applications we have in our inventory
- how many people we have processing this type of application
- how many applications we expect to get
It includes
- for the person being sponsored to give their biometrics
- for your and their assessment
- for us to make sure they meet eligibility requirements
- to submit your application to the Government of Quebec and get a decision
- The number of admissions is limited to the number of family class spaces set by Quebec for the year. If there are fewer spaces than applicants, the processing time may be longer than the rest of the country.

Your processing time starts the day we receive your complete application and ends when we make a decision. It may vary depending on how many applications we get or if your application is complex.
Your application may be delayed or returned if it’s not complete.
