About these processing times

This tracker checks IRCC’s published data daily. The publication date belongs to IRCC’s estimate; it is not the date you visited this page. The latest recorded estimate may be older when no newer data has been collected for a country and visa type.

Detail tables show up to 24 recorded publications. Charts show only readings from the six weeks ending at the latest recorded publication. Missing estimates are not stored, and gaps do not mean processing times stayed the same. Charts mark longer gaps with dashed lines. Comparisons use normalized durations, with approximate conversions of 7 days per week and 30.44 days per month. On detail pages, a month-over-month comparison requires a reading within 14 days of the date 30 days before the latest publication.

Estimates are scraped daily from the official IRCC processing times page. Published estimates are informational only and are not legal advice or a guarantee about your application.
