Notes:
- 80% of projects fall within this duration.
- 20% of all projects extend beyond this time, some significantly due to a wide variety of factors generally associated with the administrative and technical complexity of a project, availability of Transport Canada staff and delegates, and the pace at which the client progresses through the certification process. Reference Appendix C for a more detailed explanation of the factors influencing project duration.
- Each of the durations listed are overall project times, that is, including time waiting for Transport Canada data review, client data and follow-up submission time, and time associated with the factors outlined in Appendix C.
