What stages does a Canadian immigration application go through?

A typical Express Entry application progresses through these stages: ITA (Invitation to Apply), Submission, AOR (Acknowledgement of Receipt), BIL (Biometrics), Medical Exam, Eligibility Review, Background Check, Final Decision, P1/PPR (Passport Request), eCOPR (electronic Confirmation of Permanent Residence), and PR Card.

Does inland vs outland affect Express Entry processing times?

Yes, whether you are an inland or outland applicant can affect processing times at various stages. Our tracker shows real timelines from both inland and outland applicants so you can compare processing durations for your specific situation.

The big number on each stage is the typical (median) date, and the range below it shows optimistic (P25), typical, and cautious (P75) days. Estimates come from applicants who applied around the same time as you, and count everyone still waiting rather than only those who have finished.
