Processing times for the Federal Skilled Worker program were previously shown by individual visa office.
However, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada has a new way of processing applications meaning waiting times are no longer country or visa office-specific.
Instead, applications can be processed by any of the visa offices in Canada’s global network.
Therefore, IRCC publishes one global processing time, depending on when the application was submitted.
Last quarterly update: December 5, 2016
