How long does the Canada PR process take?

Processing times vary based on the immigration program. For Express Entry, most applications are processed within 6 to 8 months after receiving the Invitation to Apply (ITA). PNP-linked applications may take slightly longer, around 10 to 12 months, depending on the province and documentation. Factors like completeness of documents, medical checks, and background verifications can affect the timeline. Submitting accurate information and keeping your documents updated helps avoid unnecessary delays.
