Advance travel planning and early visa application are important. If you plan to apply for a nonimmigrant visa to come to the United States as a temporary visitor, please review the current wait time for an interview using the tool below. Not all visa applications can be completed on the day of the interview; please read the information below for more details .

Check the estimated wait time for a nonimmigrant visa interview appointment at a U.S. Embassy or Consulate.

Note: Please check the individual Embassy or Consulate website to determine if your case is eligible for a waiver of the in-person interview.

Applicants scheduling visa appointments in a location different from their place of residence should check post websites for nonresident wait times.

Global Visa Wait Times

Wait Time for Interview

The estimated wait time to receive a nonimmigrant visa interview appointment at a U.S. embassy or consulate and is based on workload and staffing and can vary from week to week. The information provided is an estimate and does not guarantee the availability of an appointment.

Wait Time for Interview Waiver

Wait times for applicants eligible for Interview Waiver are applicable only for locations where applicants schedule appointments to submit their passport and any required documents to a U.S. embassy or consulate. The wait time estimate does not account for the time required for a consular officer to adjudicate the application nor mailing time of passports or other documents. Refer to the website of the Embassy or Consulate Visa Section where you will apply to determine your eligibility for Interview Waiver and for instructions for submitting a nonimmigrant visa application. Note that applicants must be a national or resident of the country where they are applying to be eligible to apply via Interview Waiver.

Qualifications for an Expedited Interview Appointment

Consular sections overseas may be able to expedite your interview date if there is an urgent, unforeseen situation such as a funeral, medical emergency, or school start date. The process to request an expedited nonimmigrant visa interview varies by location. You should refer to the instructions on the website of the Embassy or Consulate Visa Section  where you will interview, or on their online appointment scheduling site. You will need to provide proof of the need for an earlier appointment.

In all cases : You must first submit the online visa application form (DS-160), pay the application fee, and schedule the first available interview appointment. Only at this point will a consular section consider your request for an expedited appointment.

Note: Travel for the purpose of attending weddings and graduation ceremonies, assisting pregnant relatives, participating in an annual business/academic/professional conference, or enjoying last-minute tourism does not qualify for expedited appointments. For such travel, please schedule a regular visa appointment well in advance.

These estimates do not include time required for administrative processing, which may affect some applications. When administrative processing is required, the timing will vary based on individual circumstances of each case.

There are only two possible outcomes for U.S. visa applications. The consular officer will either issue or refuse the visa. If a visa applicant has not established that he or she is eligible for a visa, the consular officer must refuse that application. However, some refused visa applications may require further administrative processing. When administrative processing is required, the consular officer will inform the applicant at the end of the interview. The duration of the administrative processing will vary based on the individual circumstances of each case. At the conclusion of the administrative processing period, the consular officer might conclude that an applicant is now qualified for the visa for which he or she applied. The officer may also conclude that the applicant remains ineligible for a visa. Visa applicants are reminded to apply early for their visas, well in advance of the anticipated travel date.

Important Notice:   Except in cases of emergency travel (i.e. serious illnesses, injuries, or deaths in your immediate family), before making inquiries about status of administrative processing, applicants should wait at least 180 days from the date of interview or submission of supplemental documents, whichever is later.

About Visa Processing Wait Times – Nonimmigrant Visa Applicants

Information about nonimmigrant visa wait times for interviews and visa processing time frames are shown on this website, as well as on U.S. Embassy and Consulate websites worldwide. It should be noted that the “Wait Times for a Nonimmigrant Visa to be Processed” information by country does not include time required for administrative processing. Processing wait time also does not include the time required to return the passport to applicants, by either courier services or the local mail system.

In addition, it is important to thoroughly review all information on the specific  Embassy or Consulate Visa Section website  for local procedures and instructions, such as how to make an interview appointment. Embassy and Consulate websites will also explain any additional procedures for students, exchange visitors and those persons who need an earlier visa interview appointment.

About Wait Times

* Calendar days refers to every day of the week, including days when embassies are closed (such as weekends and holidays).

† Work days refers only to days when the embassy is open and does not include weekends and holidays.      

‡ A, G, and NATO applications are excluded from these wait times, as they are processed separately.

How long does it take for Canada to process visa applications from India?

Canada has maintained processing of visa applications from India, including temporary resident visas for students and workers; and permanent resident and family-class sponsorship applications.

Below are the average wait times for Indian applicants across five different permit/visa processing streams as of September 26, 2023. Note that these processing times are subject to change and can vary depending on the specific conditions of one’s application. Please check the website of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) to get the latest info.

Discover if You Are Eligible for Canadian Immigration

Work permits and visas

Work permits allow foreign individuals to work and reside in Canada for the term of their work permit.

Note the difference between a visa and a permit for immigration purposes—a permit allows someone to legally reside and work and/or study in Canada. A visa grants foreign citizens entry into Canada through its borders. Usually permits take up the bulk of processing times. After a permit is issued to a foreign national, they must subsequently submit their passport at an IRCC office for visa stamping if they wish to travel outside of Canada and subsequently return.

Work permit processing can vary based on whether one is applying within Canada, or from outside the country. The processing times are:

Study permits and visas

Study permits allow foreign nationals to study and reside in Canada. Some study permits also allow provisions for students to work either full-time or part-time during their studies.

The same distinction between work permits and visas applies to study permits—once an applicant has their study permit approved, they must subsequently give their passport for visa stamping if they wish to travel outside of Canada and subsequently return.

Study permit processing varies based on whether one applies for their study permit inside or outside of Canada. In addition, processing times can vary based on whether the application is for an initial study permit, or an extension. Finally study permit processing times can be expedited when applying through the Student Direct Stream —a specialised study permit stream that Indian students are eligible for.

Below are current processing times for study permits:

Visitor visas

Indian citizens who wish to visit Canada will need a visitor visa . These visas do not have associated permits, as visitor visas do not allow holders to work or study in Canada (though visitors are free to pursue study and/or work permits if they wish). In addition, visitors can apply for an extension of their visitor visa, known as a visitor record . This is not a visa but rather a document that allows visitors to stay in Canada longer.

Visitor visa processing is impacted by whether one applies inside or outside of Canada.

Below are current processing times for visitor visas:

Economic class immigration

Economic class immigration spans a number of immigration programs. These include the Express Entry managed programs—the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP), and the Canadian Experience Class (CEC)—as well as the immigration pathways within the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP), which can vary from province to province.

This line of business also includes the Atlantic Immigration Program , the Self-Employed persons Program (federal), Start-up Visa , Quebec immigration streams (including the Quebec Business Class , and the Quebec Regular Skilled Worker Program ), and pathways for caregivers .

Candidates who are approved for these programs are granted Canadian permanent residence (PR) upon arrival.

Below are current processing times for economic immigration applications:

Family sponsorship immigration

Canadian permanent residents and citizens of Indian origin who wish to sponsor Indian spouses, dependent children, or other family members to come to Canada can do so. The main pathways to accomplish this are Spousal sponsorships , Dependent child sponsorships or for other family members, the Super-Visa and Parents and Grandparents Program (PGP).

Processing times for spousal sponsorships are dependent on whether the spouse being sponsored is currently in Canada or not; and if the couple will be residing in or outside of Quebec (as due to legal provisions both the federal government and the provincial government must process immigration applications to Quebec ).

Below are current processing times for family class sponsorship applications:

How to Get Your Canada Visa Faster?

Can’t wait to visit or move to Canada? Here are some tips to help you get your visa processed quickly and efficiently.

1. Apply Early.  The earlier you apply, the more time the visa office will have to process your application. This is especially important for popular destinations or during peak travel times.

2. Complete your application carefully and accurately.  Make sure to read the instructions carefully and double-check your work before submitting your application. Incomplete or inaccurate applications may be delayed or rejected.

3. Provide all required documentation.  Be sure to include all of the documentation required for your visa application, such as a passport, passport photos, and proof of funds. You may also need to provide additional documentation, such as a letter of invitation from a friend or family member in the country you are visiting.

4. Pay your visa application fee on time.  Visa application fees are non-refundable, so it is important to pay them on time to avoid any delays.

5. Follow up with the visa office.  If you have not heard back from the visa office within the expected processing time, you can follow up with them to check the status of your application. However, be sure not to follow up too often, as this can delay the processing of your application.

It is important to note that there is no guarantee that you will get your visa faster by following these tips. However, following these tips can help to increase your chances of getting your visa processed more quickly.

These processing times serve as a guide for Indian applicants seeking various visas and permits to enter and stay in Canada. Keep in mind that these times are subject to change and may vary depending on individual circumstances.

For the most up-to-date information, it is recommended to visit the Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) official visa processing time tool .

While diplomatic matters may ebb and flow, the opportunities for Indians to explore Canada remain a significant aspect of the evolving India-Canada relationship.

Who can apply

On this page, eligibility, health insurance, other conditions we consider.

To be eligible for a super visa, you must have a host who

• is your child or grandchild
• the Canadian citizenship document of the host (and of their spouse or common-law partner, if applicable)
• the permanent resident document of the host (and of their spouse or common-law partner, if applicable)
• a Secure Certificate of Indian Status or Certificate of Indian Status (status card)
• is at least 18 years old and lives in Canada
• meets or exceeds the minimum necessary income
• Your child or grandchild’s spouse or common-law partner can co-sign the letter if they are a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident of Canada.
• the list (including name and date of birth) and number of people included when you calculate your family size to determine the minimum necessary income

Your host can use the following table to find out if they meet the minimum income requirements.

You must also

• be outside Canada when you submit your application for a super visa
• have your visa printed by a visa office outside Canada (wait for visa office instructions)
• be  allowed to enter Canada
• take an  immigration medical exam
• meet certain other conditions

You  can’t include dependants  in this application.

You must have proof of a health insurance policy from either

• a Canadian insurance company, or
• an insurance company outside Canada that is approved by the minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship (more information will be available in the coming months)

The health insurance policy should

• be valid for a minimum of 1 year from the date of entry
• be paid in full or in instalments with a deposit (quotes aren’t accepted)
• cover health care, hospitalization and repatriation
• provide a minimum of $100,000 of emergency coverage

As a super visa holder, you should have a valid health insurance policy while in Canada. If your health insurance will expire before you leave Canada, you may need to renew or maintain your health insurance during your stay. Private health insurance must be valid for each entry to Canada.

Be prepared to show your proof of paid insurance to a border services officer when you enter Canada.

We consider several things before we decide if you can come to Canada. You must be a genuine visitor to Canada who will leave by choice at the end of your visit.

When you apply, we’ll consider

• your ties to your home country
• the purpose of your visit
• your family and finances
• the overall economic and political stability of your home country

Are you visa-exempt? You can still apply for a super visa.

If you  don’t need a visitor visa  to enter Canada, you can still get a super visa to stay in Canada for 5 years. If we approve your application, we’ll issue you a  letter to give to a border services officer  when you arrive in Canada.

If you travel by air , you may also need to  apply for an electronic travel authorization (eTA)  separately to allow you to travel to and enter Canada. The eTA will be electronically linked to your passport, so you need to travel with the passport you used to apply for your eTA and any supporting documents for your super visa application.
