All applications for permanent residence are processed according to the date the complete application
was received. The current processing times for in-Canada applications (refer to section for “Person to
be sponsored lives in Canada”) are available for your reference on the Citizenship and Immigration
Canada (CIC) website at www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/perm-fc.asp. Please note that,
given the high volume of inquiries submitted to this office, status updates on cases are not normally
provided unless the processing time for a file is longer than the service standards outlined on the CIC
website.
