Statistical Information: Applications Processed at Canadian Visa OfficesFamily Class: Parents and GrandparentsAugust 2005 to September 2006Citizenship and Immigration Canada staff work at locations around the world. Officers in Canadian embassies, high commissions and consulates process applications abroad for permanent residence for people wishing to immigrate to Canada. The tables below show the number of months that were required to approve or refuse applications at visa offices around the world. The length of time it takes to finalize applications may be different at different visa offices. Past processing times may not indicate the length of time it will take to finalize applications in the future. Read more information about submitting applications from outside of Canada. As a result of the April 18,
2005, announcement on speeding up the processing of parent and grandparent
applications, the oldest applications received at all visa
offices will benefit from this initiative. Throughout 2006, visa offices
will be working to finalize the immigration applications submitted
to the visa office abroad prior to May 2004. While it is difficult
to project
processing times for cases received in May 2004 or later, it is unlikely
these will be finalized in 2006.
