Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada has released new processing times for September 2025.
Canada’s immigration system has entered a new phase this September. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has released updated processing times for a wide range of applications. These fresh numbers give future newcomers and current applicants a clear picture of what to expect in the coming months.
IRCC updates its timelines often. These figures show how long most applications take. Officials calculate these estimates based on 80 percent of completed files. They cover citizenship, permanent residency, work permits, study permits, and passports.
The timelines help students, workers, and families plan their next steps. Business owners also rely on this data before moving their operations to Canada. Still, applicants must stay alert. Delays can happen if applications contain mistakes, if demand spikes, or if officers need extra checks.
Citizenship requests remain a priority. IRCC continues to update this section each month. Many permanent residents looking to settle for good in Canada depend on this stage. The timeline gives them a sense of when they can expect their oath date.
Permanent residency (PR) timelines are under close watch. These include skilled worker programs, provincial nominees, and other streams. People from across the globe see Canada as a long-term home. These estimates show how long it could take for their future to become reality.
Family reunification stays central to Canada’s immigration policy. IRCC updates this section monthly as well. Spouses, children, parents, and grandparents are waiting to join their loved ones. The figures help families prepare for the time apart before they can reunite.
Canadian citizens also benefit from the September update. Passport issuance times are included in this list. Many people need quick renewals for travel or emergencies. Knowing how long it takes can reduce stress.
Visitor visas, study permits, and work permits are also covered. Timelines vary by country of application. For example, the popular Super Visa for parents and grandparents differs depending on the applicant’s home country. International students and foreign workers also need these figures to plan their arrival in Canada.
IRCC stresses that these numbers are averages. They are not guaranteed. Some files clear faster, others take longer. Accuracy in forms and documents is the best way to avoid unnecessary delays.
As of September 10, 2025, the latest IRCC report gives applicants a strong guide. From short-term visits to permanent settlement, the numbers reveal Canada’s current pace in handling immigration files.
