Canada PR processing times vary depending on the program and application volume. For most Express Entry applications, IRCC aims to process complete PR files within about 6 months after submission. For Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) streams, processing may take 9–12 months or longer. Factors affecting timelines include completeness of documents, background checks, medical exams, and any additional verifications required. Applicants can check IRCC’s Processing Times tool online for updated estimates. It’s important to prepare documents in advance to avoid delays and submit a complete, accurate application within the 60-day ITA window.
