How long does it take to get a Permanent residence visa to immigrate to Canada?
Every application is different and processing times largely depend on the type of visa category being applied for and the visa office processing your application. Generally, it takes most applicants 18 to 24 months to receive a final decision on their visa application. Spousal cases and temporary employment authorizations tend to be a little quicker at 6 to 8 months, while applicants requiring professional registration can take an additional 6 to 12 months to process. If you are requested to attend an interview, this can put in many more months onto the processing of your application.
