    The immigration processing time of Canada varies across several visa streams. In general, it takes around 9-10 months minimum to process your visa application. Though it could vary from individual to individual. It starts with the day your visa application is received by the immigration authority of Canada and ends with their final decision. Additionally, the visa processing time also depends on the CRS score of the applicant and where he/she is eligible for the Express Entry system.
