Applications for Permanent Residency under the Family Class Category immigration are usually made a priority, in an effort to reunite applicants within this category with loved-ones in Canada, as quickly as possible. Nevertheless, the processing times can seem long to applicants, eager to be reunited.The world wide processing times for Family Class Category applications tends to average 14 months.
Delays towards the end of the process are often due to a security/background verification of the applicant. Once that has been successfully completed, the landing documents will usually be issued. It is difficult to predict how long of a delay will be caused by a security background verification. Depending upon the applicant's history, it can range from a couple of months to up to 1 year.
