IRCC Reports 103-Day Visitor Visa Wait for Nigerians
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has reported that the processing time for Nigerian applicants seeking visitor visas has risen to 103 days, marking a 16-day increase from the previous estimate of 84-87 days. This update is part of a broader adjustment affecting several temporary residence applications, including work and study permits.
While work and study permit processing times remain unchanged at 10 weeks each, the waiting period for super visas has also increased. The IRCC's latest figures indicate that work permit processing times for applicants within Canada have increased to approximately 15 weeks, while those applying from the United States and Canada have decreased to seven and five weeks, respectively.
The IRCC emphasizes that these processing times are estimates and may vary based on application completeness and other factors. Applicants are advised to submit complete documentation and monitor their application status through official channels.
