Canada Visitor visa: processing time by applicant country

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) publishes how long the government is currently taking to process this visa category, per applicant country, and refreshes the figures roughly weekly. 170 of 211 countries currently have a published time; the median is 35 days. Countries without a published figure are listed too — that absence is itself official information.
