Updated April 2023— Global Affairs Canada is still reporting continued delays in processing documents due to Covid-19 restrictions. Although we continue to do our best to work expediently, until these rules are lifted and delays are eased we will be unable to provide documents within our typical timelines.

As of the last website update on September 15, 2022, Global Affairs is estimating a turnaround time of 15 business days.  Capital Authentication has, on occasion, had certain documents return in 10 business days.

If you require a document in a timeline faster than what is listed, please contact us here to determine if the timeline can be accommodated.
