Check Latest IRCC Processing Time As of May 30

Uncategorized

Here are the latest official IRCC processing time as of May 30, 2023, as well as a comparison to the previous week’s processing times.

Please read the information below carefully to fully comprehend what these processing timeframes imply.

We’ve (INC – Immigration News Canada) been tracking these processing times for over a year and updating them weekly for the benefit of our readers. The IRCC officially updates them once a week.

The IRCC upgraded its processing tool in early 2022 in order to offer realistic information on normal processing durations rather than simply service standards.

Prior to that, it only displayed IRCC service standards, which represent IRCC’s goal of expedited application processing. Service standards are seldom revised.

The majority of citizenship and permanent residency services now provide processing timelines for 80% of applications, which are updated weekly based on statistics from the past six months.

These updates provide more exact information that accounts for processing volumes as well as any changes to IRCC’s ability to handle applications.

Processing timeframes for temporary residence applications are also updated every week based on statistics from the previous 8 or 16 weeks.

These processing timetables are intended to provide potential immigrants and visa applicants in Canada an idea of how long it will take to decide whether or not to accept their application.

This does not imply that your application will be processed in the same length of time.

Given that it is based on the processing times of 80% of applicants, the processing time for your application may be longer or shorter than stated.
