Canada ICT Visa Processing Time
It’s important to note that ICT applications for executive and managerial staff are frequently processed by the CPC-Edmonton office in Canada. This office utilizes a case processing technology called “Chinook,” which often results in expedited decision-making. If your application is directed to the CPC-Edmonton office, you can expect a decision within 1-2 months. However, based on our experience, rejection rates from the CPC-Edmonton office tend to be higher compared to other offices. Therefore, seeking advice from an immigration lawyer to strategize the submission location for your application is advisable.
