Lo que significa y lo que no

IRCC’s processing time for Seasonal Agricultural Worker Program applications fell from 21 to 10 days on November 4, 2026, after 108 days in mid-October. Seasonal work moves with the farm calendar, so this time can rise again when the next season’s applications arrive. It does not change who qualifies or how employers hire through the program.

IRCC’s estimate for a verification of status rose from 16 to 20 weeks on November 4, 2026, after rising from 11 weeks in early October, so it has almost doubled in a month. If you need proof of your status for another application, ask for it early. It is an estimate, not a deadline, and the process itself has not changed.

IRCC’s estimate for amending a travel document rose from 63 to 77 days on November 4, 2026, up from 56 in early September. If you have trips planned, check your document early and leave extra time. It is an average for recent files, not a deadline, and the rules have not changed.

IRCC’s estimate for amending an immigration document (for example, correcting an error on a COPR or PR card) rose from 91 to 112 days on November 4, 2026. It was 77 days in early October, so it has grown by about five weeks in a month. If you need a correction before travel or another application, request it as soon as you spot the error. This is an estimate, not a guarantee for your file.

IRCC’s estimate for a citizenship records search eased from 570 to 540 days on November 4, 2026, back to where it was before October 7. It is still a long wait of about a year and a half, so apply early if you need these records for another application.

IRCC’s published estimate for citizenship applications for adopted persons rose from 120 to 150 days on November 4, 2026. That is about a month longer than before. It is IRCC’s average for recent files, not a deadline: your own application can take more or less time. Nothing about the rules or the documents you need has changed.

Lo que significa y lo que no

IRCC’s processing time for Seasonal Agricultural Worker Program applications fell sharply, from 95 to 21 days, on October 29, 2026. Times for seasonal work follow the farm calendar and can change quickly. It does not change who qualifies or how employers hire through the program.

IRCC invited 150 candidates in a transport occupations round on October 28, 2026, with a cutoff of 477, up from 470 in the previous transport round on August 7. Transport rounds are small, so a few profiles can move the cutoff. This was the last round before IRCC paused rounds to recalculate profiles under the November 3 CRS changes. It says nothing about when the next transport round will come or where its cutoff will land.

IRCC invited 5,000 candidates in a French-language proficiency round on October 27, 2026, with a cutoff of 407, down 28 points from 435 eleven days earlier. Two large French rounds close together reached further down the pool. It was one of the last rounds before the pause for the November 3 CRS changes, and it says nothing about when the next French round will come or what its cutoff will be.

IRCC invited 792 provincial nominees on October 26, 2026, with a cutoff of 761, down from 772 two weeks earlier. Every nominee has 600 extra points, so PNP cutoffs follow how many nominees are in the pool rather than general competition. A provincial nomination still all but guarantees an invitation. This round says nothing about when the next PNP round will come.

IRCC’s processing time for Seasonal Agricultural Worker Program applications eased from 108 to 95 days on October 21, 2026. Times for seasonal work follow the farm calendar and can change quickly. It does not change who qualifies or how employers hire through the program.

IRCC invited 5,000 candidates in a French-language proficiency round on October 16, 2026, with a cutoff of 435, up 53 points from 382 in the previous French round on August 19. The two-month gap let more French speakers with higher scores gather in the pool. It does not mean French rounds now need 435: the next one, on October 27, closed at 407.

Lo que significa y lo que no

IRCC invited 2,500 Canadian Experience Class candidates on October 15, 2026, with a cutoff of 519, one point above the round on September 29. CEC cutoffs stayed between 507 and 523 all year. This was the last CEC round under the old CRS rules: since November 3, profiles are recalculated with the new Labour Market Integration factor, so this cutoff is not a guide to the next one.

Lo que significa y lo que no

IRCC’s estimate for a replacement immigration document rose from 8 to 11 weeks on October 7, 2026, three weeks longer. If a document was lost or damaged, apply for the replacement as soon as you can, especially before travel. It is an estimate, not a deadline.

Lo que significa y lo que no

IRCC’s estimate for a verification of status rose from 11 to 16 weeks on October 7, 2026, more than a month longer. If you need this document, ask for it early. The estimate reflects recent files and can change again.

Lo que significa y lo que no

IRCC’s estimate for amending a travel document rose from 56 to 63 days on October 7, 2026, about a week longer. If you have travel coming up, check your document early. It is an estimate for recent files, not a promise for yours.

Lo que significa y lo que no

IRCC’s estimate for amending an immigration document rose from 77 to 91 days on October 7, 2026, two weeks longer. If something on your COPR or PR card is wrong, ask for the correction soon after you notice it. This is IRCC’s estimate for recent files, not a deadline for yours.

IRCC invited 3,500 candidates in a trades occupations round on October 1, 2026, with a cutoff of 476, one point below the previous trades round on April 2. Trades rounds were rare in 2026 (two in all) but large, and their cutoffs held steady. It says nothing about when IRCC will hold the next one.

Lo que significa y lo que no

IRCC invited 2,000 Canadian Experience Class candidates on September 29, 2026, with a cutoff of 518, one point below the round two weeks earlier. CEC cutoffs moved within a few points through the fall. This is a record of a round under the old CRS rules, not a target: scores were recalculated after November 3.

Lo que significa y lo que no

IRCC invited 733 provincial nominees on September 28, 2026, with a cutoff of 725, down from 734 two weeks earlier. Every nominee has 600 extra points, so PNP cutoffs follow how many nominees are in the pool. A provincial nomination still all but guarantees an invitation.

Lo que significa y lo que no

IRCC invited 250 senior managers with Canadian work experience on September 16, 2026, with a cutoff of 389, close to the 392 of the previous round on July 10. This category is small, so its cutoffs can swing widely between rounds. It applies only to people whose experience qualifies for the category.

Lo que significa y lo que no

IRCC invited 2,000 Canadian Experience Class candidates on September 15, 2026, with a cutoff of 519, two points below the round on September 1. Small moves like this are normal between rounds of the same size. It is a record of a round under the old CRS rules, not a prediction for the next one.
