Start with IRCC’s published processing time, then see how far people who applied in the same month have got. We make no promises here; this only helps you see roughly where you stand.
Enter the date you submitted your application: the day your online submission succeeded, or the day your paper application reached IRCC. Not the date you received the AOR.
Going past the published processing time does not necessarily mean something is wrong. If you want to find out where your file stands, here is a sensible order: try on your own first, and come to us when you need to.
You can submit a case-specific enquiry through IRCC’s official web form to ask about your application’s progress. IRCC’s reply time varies and the answer is often general, but it costs nothing, so we suggest trying it first.
IRCC contact page ↗We file an Access to Information and Privacy (ATIP) request with IRCC on your behalf to obtain the GCMS case notes in your file, to see where the application stands and whether anything is outstanding. IRCC must respond within 30 days of receiving the request, and the law allows it to extend this. How detailed the notes are varies by file, and whether this works for you depends on your status and location; we check first before accepting.
Bring your submission date and any letters you have received, and work out with the consultant whether the wait is normal and what sensible next steps there are.

We first check that this suits your situation, then sign the service agreement and the authorization form together.
Our ATIP service fee is $90.
IRCC’s reply usually comes within 30 days, and the law allows the period to be extended.
This page collects no information; please reach us using the contact options above. Please do not send passports, banking records or other sensitive documents in your first message.
We cannot guarantee that any application will be processed faster, and we cannot replace IRCC’s decisions. These services are meant to help you see your situation clearly and use the proper channels.
Applies to provincial nominee permanent residence applications (non-Express Entry): applications sent directly to IRCC after receiving a provincial nomination, without going through Express Entry.
Pick the month you submitted and see how far most people who applied that month have got, and how many days it took.
The percentages only count people who updated their progress online. Many people stop updating once they get a result, so older months show lower percentages; it does not mean the others have not been approved.
Days = days from submission to that stage. “Middle 50%” drops the fastest quarter and the slowest quarter; the median is shown underneath. The order of stages varies by person, and not everyone goes through every stage.
Source: a summary of voluntary self-reported records that applicants have posted publicly online. Unofficial data, for reference only; contains no personal information.
Plain-language explanations of abbreviations commonly used in community records. The steps and names differ between programs, so the exact meaning is whatever IRCC’s official documents and your own letters say.
IRCC’s notice that it has received your application and started processing it. It means the application was accepted for processing; it does not mean it has passed the eligibility or completeness review. People often use AR and AOR interchangeably; go by the name on the document you received.
The letter telling you to give your fingerprints and photo. It states the deadline (IRCC usually asks for this within 30 days of the letter; follow what your letter says).
The medical exam done by an IRCC-designated panel physician. Some applications need it at submission and others only after IRCC asks for it; results are usually valid for a limited time (commonly 12 months). Follow IRCC’s notice.
IRCC asks you to send your passport so a visa or the landing documents can be issued. This is mostly seen with applicants outside Canada, and not every application has this step.
A document needed for a study permit application. It is issued by the province or territory and is usually requested for you through your school. It has nothing to do with permanent residence progress.
After approval, applicants inside Canada receive emails through the PR Portal: the first (P1) asks you to confirm you are in Canada; the second (P2) asks you to upload a photo and confirm your mailing address, after which the eCOPR is issued. These are community nicknames, not IRCC terms; applicants outside Canada usually go through landing instead and do not have these two steps.
IRCC’s decision to approve or refuse the application. People often log FD when their online account shows that a decision has been made; the exact outcome is whatever IRCC’s official notice says.
The electronic document issued once your application is approved. It confirms your permanent resident status and is used to land.
The identity card IRCC produces and mails after you land as a permanent resident. It has its own processing time (IRCC currently shows about 28 days for new cards, data of 2026-10-29).
The above is general information, not legal advice. To check the status of your own application, see IRCC: check your application status ↗; for what happens after you submit an Express Entry application, see IRCC: after you apply ↗.
This page’s data is refreshed automatically once a week. Last updated 2026-11-01.
If a data source could not be reached this time, the page keeps the last data we checked and keeps showing its date; it does not fill the gap with blanks or guessed numbers.
Official processing times come from the public data behind “Check processing times” on the IRCC website. This page only organizes and converts them and is not an IRCC publication. A processing time shows how long IRCC takes to finish most applications of the same type; it is not a promise for an individual case.
Bring your submission date and the letters you have received, and we will work out together whether the wait is normal.
