This article enlists new official IRCC processing times updated on February 7, 2023 as well as comparison with processing times of last week.
In 2022, the IRCC processing tool was modified to deliver precise data on typical processing times.
These processing timelines are given to provide applicants for visas or immigration to Canada an idea of how long their application may take for a decision to be made.
Additionally, future applicants who desire to submit an application for a Canadian immigration or visa can acquire a feel of what to anticipate before doing so.
Based on data gathered over the last six months, these processing times are intended to provide new weekly processing times.
Furthermore, the processing period starts when the application is received by IRCC and concludes when the immigration officer makes a determination about the application.
These processing times are updated by IRCC officially on weekly basis.
