Estimate only. Real Express Entry timelines vary widely with document readiness, biometrics, medicals, security/background checks and IRCC inventory. ECA, language tests and the IRCC 6-month AOR service standard are guidelines, not guarantees. Always confirm with IRCC or a licensed RCIC.

About Express Entry PR Timeline Planner
This Express Entry timeline planner maps every remaining step between where you are today and landing in Canada as a permanent resident. Pick your current stage — just researching, waiting on an ECA, sitting in the pool, or already past AOR — and it builds an editable roadmap with an estimated landing window, a progress bar and dated milestones for the pool, ITA, AOR and final approval.
Each step starts from a typical 2026 duration: around 45 days for an Educational Credential Assessment, 30 days to book and receive a language test result, 60 days in the pool waiting for an Invitation to Apply, and 150 days of post-AOR processing, reflecting IRCC's six-month service standard for most Express Entry applications. A pace setting scales everything at once — optimistic runs each step at 0.7×, cautious at 1.4× — and a PNP toggle inserts a provincial-nomination step. If you know a step will take longer (a slow ECA provider, a busy PNP stream), drag its slider and the whole timeline recalculates. The landing estimate is shown as a month range rather than a single date, because every step has a real minimum–maximum spread.
The planner runs entirely in your browser: your stage, dates and edits are saved on your device only, never uploaded. When the plan looks right, export the milestones as an .ics file to drop them straight into Google or Apple Calendar, or share the timeline with family who are waiting on the same dates.
