Canada continues to process visa applications from India, including temporary resident visas for students and workers, as well as permanent resident and family-class sponsorship applications. Below are the current average processing times for Indian applicants in five different permit and visa processing categories as of September 26, 2023. It's important to note that these processing times are subject to change and may vary depending on the specific circumstances of each application.
It's crucial to distinguish between visas and permits for immigration purposes: a permit enables an individual to legally reside, work, and/or study in Canada, while a visa grants foreign citizens entry into Canada through its borders. Typically, permits account for the majority of processing times. Once a permit is issued to a foreign national, they must subsequently submit their passport to an Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) office for visa stamping if they intend to travel outside of Canada and then return.
