The processing time for a Canada study permit varies based on the applicant’s country of residence and application volume. Typically, it takes 1 to 16 weeks. Online applications are often faster than paper submissions.
Applicants should apply well in advance, as processing delays may occur during peak seasons. Biometrics, medical exams, or additional documentation can extend timelines. Check the IRCC website for real-time updates on processing times specific to your location.
