IRCC times depend on the work-permit category and application country. Use the live processing-time tool; employer LMIA processing, if needed, is separate.
What to check before applying
Confirm permit and employer steps. Ask whether an LMIA or exemption applies to the offer.
Check the application country. Use IRCC requirements and the current processing-time tool.
Apply for the correct permit. A job offer alone does not authorise work or entry.
