Canada Maintains Stable Processing Times for Indian Study and Work Permits
Canada's Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has maintained stable processing times for Indian study and work permit applications, with study permits taking about five weeks and work permits nine weeks. However, visitor visa and super visa applications for Indian applicants now face slightly longer waits, increasing to 22 and 52 days respectively. These timelines remain unchanged from the previous update, while other countries have experienced longer processing delays.
