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 Sep 24, 2026, 3:48 p.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.
The September 24 IRCC refresh moved the temporary-residence report date to September 22, 2026 while the permanent-residence report date remains September 3, 2026. The six official English/French feeds, derived histories, checksummed manifest, route freshness, and release boundaries were reviewed before publication.
The six official IRCC JSON feeds were fetched successfully. Temporary country and general feeds changed to the September 22, 2026 report date; permanent feeds remain on September 3, 2026. English and French mirrors were checked together.
The refreshed release passed required program-key, language, unit, eTA-scope, JSON, public-data, history, and SHA-256 manifest checks. The build excludes local hourly captures and exposes only the 29 manifest-backed release files.
The generated route metadata and sitemap use the September 22, 2026 temporary report date without changing the nine-URL canonical sitemap contract.
Raw captures may include repeated observations of the same IRCC report date. The derived permanent-residence series keeps one published point per unique report date, while every capture remains in the provenance index.
This review was completed before the refreshed source state was deployed to the canonical origin. Public data bytes, redirects, security headers, and crawlability must be re-verified after publication.
The verification environment was not authenticated to Google Search Console. HTTP availability and index directives are not presented as proof that a search engine indexed a URL.
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.
