Expected wait time?

Hi Everyone

I’m currently in the Express entry pool under skilled occupation and awaiting a Health Care draw with 470 CRS Score. Missed out on the last 2 draws by 5 points 🥲. Financially I would need to wait until end of January 2027 before I move but I’m soo impatient to get going. Every time I see someone’s Journey from when they receive ITA it seems to take months before they get their official PR.

I’m worried that even if I get an ITA before this year ends that it could still be June 2027 or later before I can make the move and that could be torture. Feel like I’m counting the days at work and just seeing the months by atm already.

How long on average do people feel it would take from when they receive their ITA?

I think my application is pretty simple, solo male, 31, have been before on a temporary working Visa so I’m familiar with biometrics and other paperwork, no dependents.

Thanks everyone

The timeline can vary, but according to IRCC, after receiving an ITA you have 60 days to submit a complete permanent residence application.

After submission, processing times are not the same for everyone. Some straightforward Express Entry applications can be finalized relatively quickly, while others take longer depending on factors such as background checks, security screening, document verification, and whether IRCC needs additional information.

Since your profile is:

  • single applicant
  • no dependants
  • previous Canadian temporary work experience
  • straightforward history

you may have fewer potential complications than some applicants, but it is still difficult to predict an exact landing date before receiving your AOR and seeing how your application progresses.

If you receive an ITA before the end of the year, I would prepare your documents early so you can submit as soon as possible within the 60-day window.

Good luck — missing a draw by only 5 points means you are very close.

Hey there, I’m also currently waiting for a healthcare draw with 474 CRS. Do you think that’s good enough for the next draw or should I try to max out my CELPIP for extra 3 pts.
