METHODOLOGY / SOURCE BOUNDARIES
Processing Radar is a comparison layer over IRCC-published processing-time JSON. This page explains what the numbers mean, how dates are labeled, and where the archive is intentionally limited.
The dashboard reads the current permanent-residence and temporary-residence feeds published by IRCC. It normalizes units such as days, weeks, and months for display, while preserving the source wording when a value cannot be parsed.
IRCC report date identifies the published estimate being shown. Last checked identifies when the feed or archived asset was observed by this project. The two dates are shown separately so an hourly check is not mistaken for a new IRCC estimate.
Historical bars show what the source published on an observed date. Permanent-residence snapshots are periodic captures; temporary-residence history combines country-table anchors with general-route captures. Neither is a complete case-level time series or a prediction of an individual file.
Approximate queue volume is not your position in a queue. Processing estimates are also not commitments, guarantees, or legal advice. Use Canada.ca for eligibility, application instructions, and the authoritative current service information.
Asset check recorded Aug 12, 2026, 12:28 a.m. UTC. The source job checks availability hourly; anomaly review is intended weekly, while methodology and content review are intended monthly. A source check can confirm availability without claiming IRCC changed its report.
REVIEW LOG / RELEASE CHECKS
This record describes the latest documented release review. It is separate from the hourly source-availability check and does not claim that future editorial reviews have already happened.
Permanent-residence history now presents one point per official IRCC report date and uses day-level labels, preventing repeated captures from looking like separate published updates.
The July 8 and August 4 archive files both report July 7, 2026, and their complete permanent-residence wait and queue payloads have the same SHA-256 digest. The August 4 file is a repeated capture, not a second August update.
Thirteen raw capture files resolve to twelve unique official report-date points. Raw captures remain in the provenance index, while the chart series collapses repeated report dates and keeps the latest captured bytes.
Permanent-history labels now use the official report month and day, including Jul 07 and Aug 10, so multiple genuine updates in one month remain distinguishable.
Tests reject duplicate official report dates in the derived permanent series and assert the July 7 and August 10 labels.
The current Sites property remains owner-only; the same corrected series must be verified after public launch.
INTENDED REVIEW CADENCE
Automated feed fetch, required-key validation, archive write, and notification check.
Look for unexpected source changes, missing route values, or implausible unit shifts.
Recheck explanations, source links, caveats, page usefulness, and launch disclosures.
