Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada’s (IRCC) online processing tool was updated to provide accurate information on processing times as part of the Immigration Minister’s plan to modernize the Canadian immigration system, which was announced on March 31, 2022. In addition, IRCC will use this tool to generate new weekly calculations from the preceding six months’ data. IRCC calculates processing time for previous similar applications based on how long it takes to complete them. When IRCC receives the application, processing begins and ends when an immigration officer makes a decision on the application.
