Service standard for all paper applications under the Provincial Nominee Program (including from applicants who did not apply via Express Entry)
Service standard
IRCC’s goal is to process all
paper applications under the Provincial Nominee Program within
11 months. This does not include the time it takes the province to process. In order to process an application, we must have all information and supporting documents.
This service standard was implemented in September 2011 and revised in March 2015 to include applications from “base” nominees who did not apply via Express Entry.
Performance target
IRCC aims to meet the service standard 80 percent of the time.
Performance results
From April 2016 to March 2017, the service standard of 11 months was met 20 percent of the time. 80 percent of applications were processed in 16 months or less. Processing times increased as older cases in the inventory were being finalized. Newer cases are expected to be finalized in
2018.
