Canada Reduces Super Visa Processing Times for Indian Applicants Amid Mixed Visa Wait Changes
Canada's Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has reduced Super Visa processing times for Indian applicants from 66 to 50 days, offering significant relief compared to longer waits for applicants from the US. Visitor visa processing also improved slightly for Indians, while work permit timelines remained stable. However, study permit processing times for Indian applicants increased by about a week. Processing times vary depending on the application location, with in-Canada filings generally processed faster.
