Canada Updates Visa Processing Times for Indian Applicants with Minor Changes
Canada's Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) reports stable visa processing times for Indian applicants. Work permit waits remain at 10 weeks, study permits at five weeks, and visitor visas have slightly improved to 29 days. Super Visa processing times increased marginally to 70 days. These estimates, updated weekly, vary by application location and are not guaranteed deadlines. Processing times for applicants within Canada are generally longer than those from outside the country.
