Canada Government-assisted refugee resettlement: processing time by applicant country
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) publishes how long the government is currently taking to process this resettlement category, per applicant country, and refreshes the figures roughly weekly. 17 of 212 countries currently have a published time; the median is 578 days. Countries without a published figure are listed too — that absence is itself official information.
