Thank you for contacting Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
We verified the information you provided and your application is not available in our system at this time.
However, rest assured that this situation is normal.
When an application is received by IRCC, it can take several weeks before the processing begins. There will be no record in the system until the processing has begun.
- To find out the estimated processing times for applications submitted within Canada:
- If you sent your application by traceable means (express post, courier, registered mail):
- you may verify the reception date at the office by contacting the postal service provider.
We invite you to contact the registered mail service you used in order to make sure that your application was indeed received by our processing office.
Due to the ongoing situation related to the
novel coronavirus (COVID-19), some IRCC offices are currently operating with reduced or critical staff only.
We are working on processing applications as quickly as possible; however,
processing times are affected and any disruption caused by COVID-19 is not reflected accurately on our website.
For your information purposes, the provincial nomination is considered valid, as long as you submit a complete application for permanent residence on or before the expiry date of the nomination. A nomination extension is not required for nominations that expire while an application is being processed.
For more information on the provincial nominee program, please visit our
website or contact the
provincial authorities for the region where you want to immigrate.
