Processing times this quarter: what is moving and what is stuck

Published processing times are averages of completed cases, which means they describe the past rather than predict your file. Read them as a direction of travel, not a promise.

Broad picture this quarter

• Express Entry permanent residence: broadly steady
• Provincial nominations: variable, heavily dependent on the province
• Study permits: slower in peak intake months, as always
• Work permit extensions: generally moving well
• Family sponsorship: the longest queues remain the longest queues
