Wondering how long it takes after submitting your biometrics? Here's what to expect on your journey to Permanent Residency!

Congratulations if you’ve recently completed your biometrics as part of your Canada Permanent Residency application; you’ve reached a key milestone! One of the most common questions at GO GLOBAL IMMIGRATION SERVICES is about the Canada PR processing time after biometrics. In this article, we’ll walk you through what happens next and how long you might need to wait before you receive that much-awaited PR confirmation.

 

Understanding the PR Process Post-Biometrics


Once your biometrics are submitted, your application enters the final review stages. The IRCC (Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada) uses your biometrics to complete background and security checks. From this point, the processing time can vary depending on:

  • The immigration program you've applied under (Express Entry, PNP, etc.)

  • Country of application

  • Completeness of documents

  • Application backlog and IRCC processing speed


Average Timeline After Biometrics


Here’s a general idea of the timeline after biometrics:

  • Express Entry applicants: Typically, 2–6 months after biometrics (some even faster!)

  • Provincial Nominee Program (PNP): This may take 6–9 months after biometrics

  • Family Sponsorship or other categories: Can range from 8–12 months


Note: These are average timeframes and can fluctuate based on IRCC workload or policy updates.


What Happens During This Time?

After biometrics, your application goes through:

  1. Criminality Check

  2. Medical Examination Review

  3. Security Clearance

  4. Final Decision by IRCC Officer

  5. PR Confirmation & Passport Request (PPR)


You can track the status using your IRCC portal or GCKey account for updates. It’s also crucial to monitor your email for any communication from IRCC.


Tips While You Wait

  • Keep your documents updated

  • Avoid making travel plans until you receive PPR

  • Maintain valid medical and police clearance if applicable

  • Stay patient—delays are common and often procedural
