Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has just released updated processing times for various immigration streams this April. Whether you’re applying for work permits, permanent residence, or the Home Care Provider Pilot, these changes could impact your immigration journey.
At NohProblem Consulting, we closely monitor these updates to help our clients from Vietnam, India, the Philippines, China, and other Asian countries navigate the Canadian immigration system with confidence.

Why These Updates Matter for Asian Applicants
In 2025, Canada continues to prioritize immigration pathways for skilled workers, caregivers, and international students. But processing times can make or break your plans, especially when documents, job offers, or school start dates are involved.
That’s why our team at NohProblem Consulting helps you:
- Understand the fastest immigration options
- Avoid mistakes that lead to refusals or delays
- Stay updated on IRCC processing trends specific to your country
