What if I need to travel urgently before the CCF responds to my Access Request?

Standard CCF processing times range from four to nine months, which creates significant risk for individuals requiring immediate travel. In genuinely urgent circumstances, the CCF can expedite review and issue interim measures suspending access to disputed data within days or weeks. To obtain expedited treatment, you must demonstrate concrete and imminent harm — such as scheduled travel, pending business transactions, or credible arrest risk. Supporting documentation including flight bookings, medical evidence, or proof of professional obligations strengthens the urgency application. Interim measures are provisional and do not prejudge the final outcome.
