The Canada PR processing time starts the day Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) receives your complete application and ends when they make a decision on it.

There are three key factors that play a pivotal role in determining the processing time of your permanent residency application.

• Country of residence.
• Type of application.
• Completeness.

At current processing times, you can expect to receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for Canada PR in:

• Express Entry: 6-8 months.
• Provincial Nominee Program: 15-19 months.
• Quebec Skilled Worker Program: 15-17 months.
• Atlantic Immigration Pilot: 6-9 months.

Add another 2-3 months to earn your Confirmation of Permanent Residence (COPR).

Other processing times such as submitting your Expression of Interest (EOI), gathering the required documents, biometric screening, etc. are not counted in the total application processing time for a PR Visa application.

Hope this helps.
