Here are some key points to remember about temporary residence processing times:
The times don’t include delays caused by missing documents, biometrics, or needing to go to a VAC.
For work permits outside Canada, applications for essential occupations are prioritized and may be processed faster.
Finding the Latest Processing Times:
You can find the latest processing times directly on the IRCC website: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/check-processing-times.html
Additional Notes:
Processing times for citizenship applications have significantly decreased since April 2024.
Processing times for spousal sponsorships outside Quebec intending to live in Quebec have increased significantly since April 2024.
Quebec-based economic class programs (Quebec Skilled Worker, Business Class) have faster processing times compared to their federal counterparts.
The backlog for immigration applications in Canada is still high (over 2 million applications as of April 2024). This may affect processing times for some applications.
