    Canada Temporary Resident Visa Processing Time

    The processing time of a temporary resident visa (TRV) application is the time it takes to assess all the documents provided by the applicant and make a decision accordingly. This processing time varies depending on the following:

    • Whether you are applying for a visitor visa from inside Canada or outside Canada, whether it is a super visa, or if you are seeking an extension for your visitor visa
    • It also depends on your country of residence.

    If you are applying for a Visitor Visa from India it would take around 89 days processing time while if you are applying for a Visitor Visa from inside Canada, it would take around 42 days. This time does not include the time required for biometrics and the time it takes to reach the immigration office from a VAC (Visa Application Center).
