Temporary Resident Visas (TRV)

Citizenship and Immigration Canada staff work at locations around the
world. Officers in Canadian embassies, high commissions and consulates
abroad process applications for temporary resident visas (TRV) for visitors
who require them.
The tables below show the number of days 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.
