Frequently Asked Questions

What is the processing time for a visitor visa?

The processing time for a Canadian visitor visa (Temporary Resident Visa) varies based on several factors, including the applicant's country of residence, application volume, and completeness of the submission. Generally, processing starts once a complete application is received and ends when a decision is made.

Factors affecting processing times:

  • Application location: Processing times differ depending on the visa office handling your region.
  • Application completeness: Incomplete applications or missing documents can cause delays.
  • Biometrics: If biometrics are required, processing begins after they are received.
  • Application volume: High demand periods may extend processing times.

To check the current processing time for your country, visit IRCC's official tool: Processing times.
