Canada Study Permit Processing Times
What to Expect
The processing time for a study permit varies depending on several factors, including the type of application, where it is submitted, and the current workload of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
Generally, applications submitted within Canada are processed faster than those submitted from outside the country.
IRCC aims to process most study permit applications within 60 days, but actual processing times may vary.
Factors Affecting Processing Time
- Type of application (e.g., first-time, extension, change of DLI)
- Completeness and accuracy of the application
- Current volume of applications
- Country of origin
- Need for additional documentation or verification
Improving Processing Time
- Submit a complete and accurate application.
- Include all required supporting documents.
- Apply early, especially if you need your permit by a specific date.
- Consider using the Student Direct Stream if eligible.
Checking Processing Status
You can check the processing status of your application online through the IRCC website.
If your application is taking longer than expected, you can contact IRCC for an update.
