How long will it take my thesis to appear on the Theses Canada Portal?
It depends on when your university sends it to ProQuest. Theses are often sent in batches after convocations. Your university will send it to a location in Windsor where it will be transported to ProQuest in Ann Arbor, Michigan. This can take up to several weeks. ProQuest logs all shipments on arrival. The company is committed to a 90 day turn-around time to process Canadian theses and dissertations and often takes that long particularly for larger shipments. Copies of the fiches are then sent to Theses Canada where they are processed. By the time the fiches reach us there should be a record for your thesis on the Theses Canada Portal and in AMICUS. At the minimum the entire process takes six months.
