Checking the status of your application with IRCC
Submitting an application to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) can be nerve-wracking, especially when you’re waiting to hear back about the status of your application. Whether you have applied for permanent residency, a work permit, or citizenship, it’s important to know how to check the status of your application with IRCC.
Confirmation of receipt
When you submit an application to IRCC, you will typically receive a confirmation of receipt. This confirmation may come in the form of an email or a physical letter. This acknowledgement will indicate that IRCC has received your application and that it is being processed.
Check your account online
If you applied online, you can check the status of your application by logging into your IRCC account. Once logged in, you can navigate to the “Check your application status” tool and enter your application details to see the current status of your application. This is a convenient way to stay updated on the progress of your application without having to call or visit an IRCC office.
Call IRCC
If you haven’t received a confirmation of receipt or if you applied by mail, you can contact IRCC directly to inquire about the status of your application. IRCC has a dedicated call center where you can speak to a representative who can provide you with information about the progress of your application.
Check processing times
In addition to checking the status of your application, you can also keep track of processing times for different types of applications on the IRCC website. By consulting the processing times, you can get a general idea of how long it will take for your application to be processed. This can help manage your expectations and provide some reassurance as you wait for a decision from IRCC.
In conclusion, there are several ways to determine if your application has been received by IRCC and to check its status. By staying informed and using the resources provided by IRCC, you can stay updated on the progress of your application and have peace of mind throughout the process.
