About Soon To Be Canadian
Soon To Be Canadian is an independent, community-powered platform built to help Canadian immigration applicants navigate the Express Entry process with real data - not guesswork.
Our Mission
The Canadian immigration process can feel opaque and anxiety-inducing. IRCC publishes general processing time targets, but every application is different. We believe applicants deserve access to real, granular data from people who have been through the exact same process.
Our tracker collects and displays community-submitted timelines - every milestone from ITA to eCOPR - so you can see what to expect based on your stream, visa office, and application type.
What We Offer
- Timeline Tracker: Browse 1,130 real Express Entry timelines filtered by CEC, FSW, PNP, and more.
- Community Data: Submit and update your own timeline to help future applicants.
- Immigration Guides: Step-by-step articles covering every stage of the Canadian PR process.
- Analytics: Aggregated processing time statistics by stream and visa office.
