Please confirm the estimated processing time for your application on IRCC’s website before requesting a status update.
Check processing times. IRCC typically will not respond to status checks for applications within normal timelines.
We are not immigration consultants and cannot offer legal advice. We can, however, ask an IRCC agent to help clarify your options.
IRCC treats requests as urgent only in limited situations such as medical emergencies or risk of deportation. For the fastest results, submit your request and documents directly through IRCC’s webform. Use the
Permanent Residence webform for PR applications or the
general IRCC webform for all other application types. Include a letter explaining why urgent processing is needed and any supporting evidence. If you have trouble submitting online, you may share the documents with us, and we’ll be happy to forward them or follow up on your behalf.
