You might be pleased to find out that Citizenship & Immigration Canada (CIC) has been speeding up when it comes to processing applications submitted within Canada.
Up until recently applications for visitor extensions, study permits, and work permits would take anywhere between two (2) to four (4) months to be finalized. Below is a chart which shows current processing times for all temporary status applications submitted inside Canada.
Current Processing Times:
Visitor Visa Extensions – 1 month
Student Permits (including extensions) – 27 days
Off-campus Work Permit – 18 days
Work Permit (for new employer) – 18 days
Work Permit (same employer) – 25 days
*Note that these are approximate processing times and can change at any time for many reasons. Applications submitted online (as opposed to paper applications) are processed slightly faster.
