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.
