Due to COVID-19, IRCC is experiencing processing delays and we can't give accurate
processing times for most types of applications. We're working at full capacity to process applications. You may experience delays because we have a backlog of applications due to COVID-19.
We understand that this may be a difficult time for you and we are here to assist you by providing you with the information we have available at this time.
If your application is
complex, it may take us longer to process it. It will also take longer to process an application if we need you to submit extra documents.
Rest assured that we are making all the necessary efforts to finalize your application as soon as possible, and that you will be informed when a decision is reached or if additional information is needed.
IRCC is working on giving you the most updated information as the situation evolves, and all our efforts are dedicated to answering your concerns. Our website is updated regularly as more information is made available.
Given these circumstances, we invite you to continue visiting our
website regularly to receive up-to-date information as new announcements are made and to obtain information on travel restrictions and
changes to our services that may affect you.
