Heads up if you're planning a trip to Canada: visa processing just got a bit slower for some.
As of November 12, 2026, Indian applicants now face a 34-day wait for visitor visas (up from 32 days), and super visas take about 87 days instead of the previous 85.
Canada: work permits slower, study faster
Work permit waits have gone up by a week for folks from Pakistan and the Philippines, hitting 10 weeks, the longest in months for the Philippines.
On the bright side, study permit processing has sped up: it's now down to six weeks if you're already in Canada and just four weeks for applicants from Pakistan.
