IRCC processing times
Where IRCC publishes a figure for your country, that is what you see. Where it does not, we show a typical figure and label it — a modelled estimate presented as an official one would be exactly the sort of thing this site exists not to do.

A dash means IRCC does not publish a separate figure for that application and country. The “typical” column is the figure we use in that case; your own application may take more or less time.
