Sponsorship: adopted child (Canada) — applying from Angola
How long does a Canada sponsorship: adopted child take from Angola right now?
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) currently marks this route as having too little data to publish a reliable processing time. We check weekly and will record a value the moment one is published.
IRCC notes its published figures show "how long it took us to process most complete applications in the past" — a backward-looking statistic covering roughly 80% of recently finalized cases, not a guarantee for new applications.

Common questions
Can you still apply without a published time?
Yes — the absence of a figure reflects the agency's reporting thresholds, not your eligibility. Check the linked official source for the current guidance.
Does the published time include biometrics? What about "after biometrics"?
IRCC's published clock runs from receipt of a complete application to the final decision, and IRCC states it includes the time taken to provide biometrics. Stage-by-stage clocks ("after biometrics", "after medical") are not published officially — breakdowns you see on forums are applicant anecdotes, not data. We track only what the agency publishes.
Why might an application take longer than the published time?
Sponsorship files involve two assessments — the sponsor and the applicant — so an issue with either side extends the clock. Requests for additional documents pause processing and are the most common cause of overruns.
