Ottawa, July 2, 2025: Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has released its recent updates regarding the Canada immigration processing time. These are the changes as of July 2, 2025, and they are critical to those looking forward to apply for Canada PR, citizenship, or getting a temporary visa.
By using advanced analytics, which will be accessible in 2022, IRCC continues to modify its procedures in response to growing application volumes. However, they still intend to process 80 percent of applications within the timeframes that have been published. While PR cards and temporary visa processing times are updated weekly, citizenship and family sponsor processing times are updated monthly.
This is a breakdown of the current processing times by all major immigration streams.
An Acknowledgement of Receipt (AOR) should soon be issued to individuals who applied before May 5, 2025. Foreign candidates will have to wait a little longer, as there are verification requirements in place.
