Canada has become one of the top destinations for skilled professionals looking to build a prosperous future. If you've already completed the biometrics step for your Canada Permanent Residency (PR) application, you might be wondering, "What happens next?" Understanding the Canada PR Processing Time After Biometrics will help you track your PR application progress and plan accordingly. At GO GLOBAL IMMIGRATION SERVICES, we guide applicants through every step of the Canada PR process, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free experience.


What is Biometrics in the Canada PR Process?

Biometrics refers to the collection of fingerprints and a digital photo to verify the applicant's identity. It is a mandatory step for most Canada PR applicants and is usually requested after submitting your PR application.

Once you receive a Biometric Instruction Letter (BIL), you must schedule an appointment at a Visa Application Centre (VAC) and provide your biometrics within 30 days. The Canadian government then uses this data for background verification and security checks.


Canada PR Processing Timeline After Biometrics

After completing your biometrics, your application goes through the following stages:

1. Background Checks & Eligibility Review (1-3 Months)

After biometrics submission, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) begins verifying your criminal record, security status, and work/education background. If additional documents are required, you will be notified via your IRCC account.


2. Medical Examination Approval (1-2 Months)

IRCC will assess your medical exam results (if not already approved) to ensure you meet Canada’s health requirements. If further medical tests are needed, IRCC will notify you.


3. Final Review & Decision Making (3-6 Months)

Once the background check is cleared and your eligibility is confirmed, IRCC will review your application for a final decision. If everything is in order, you will receive a Passport Request (PPR) for visa stamping.


4. Passport Request & COPR Issuance (1-2 Months)

Upon receiving a PPR email, you must submit your passport to the nearest Visa Application Centre (VAC). Once stamped, you will receive a Confirmation of Permanent Residence (COPR), allowing you to travel to Canada as a permanent resident.


5. Landing in Canada & Becoming a PR

After landing in Canada, you must complete your PR formalities at the Port of Entry (POE). You will receive your PR card by mail within a few weeks.


How to Track Your Canada PR Application?

You can check your application status through:

  • IRCC Online Portal (GCKey or Express Entry profile)

  • Email Notifications from IRCC

  • Web Form Inquiries (if your processing time exceeds the usual timeline)
