My Immigration Timeline 2026
Enter your application date, and get a personalized projected timeline — biometrics, decision window, and travel-ready date — built from real published 2026 processing times for Canada, UK, and Australia.
This is a projection from published processing-time ranges, not a guarantee. Individual cases vary — see the methodology below.
How This Timeline Is Built
We take the published 2026 processing-time range for your selected visa type (from our own per-country processing times guides, themselves sourced from official government service standards) and project it forward from your submission date. Because almost every visa category has a wide official range rather than one fixed number, this tool shows you the full range as a window — an earliest-realistic date and a typical-case date — rather than pretending to know the one exact day your decision will arrive.
Assumptions
- The clock starts from your submission date, though some programs (like UK visas) technically start counting from your biometrics appointment rather than submission — where that applies, it's factored in.
- Processing time ranges reflect standard, complete applications with no additional document requests or flags.
Limitations
- This does not account for application-specific delays, incomplete documentation, medical or security check holds, or seasonal application volume spikes.
- Processing time standards are updated periodically by each government — see our Canada, UK, and Australia processing time guides directly for the latest published ranges and full context per visa type.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is this timeline?
It's built from the same published processing-time ranges on our per-country processing times pages, which are themselves sourced from official government service standards. Because most visa categories have wide official ranges, this tool shows you the same range as a projected date window, not a single guaranteed date — individual applications can and do fall outside published ranges.
Does the timeline account for delays or additional document requests?
No. It projects forward from the standard published range only. If your application is flagged for additional review, biometrics delays, or a request for more documents, your actual timeline will extend beyond what's shown here.
This tool provides estimates only and does not constitute immigration advice. Always check the official government processing time page for your visa type before making any plans based on a projected date.
