Sean Fraser - IRCC Processing Times December 29

Year 2022 is coming to an end, but IRCC processing woes still continue. IRCC minister announced updating online processing tool on March 31, 2022 to provide accurate information on average processing times.

These processing times are to ensure that Canada immigration/visa applicants get a faint idea of their applications’ processing.

Furthermore, future applicants planning to apply for Canadian immigration/visa can also have an idea of what to expect before submitting their application.

As per latest available official IRCC data, the Canadian immigration backlog was at 1.09 million as of November 30, 2022.

Recently, IRCC shared the data that they processed record 4.8 million applications in 2022. This number is almost double the applications processing in 2021.
