Congratulations! happy for you. Hope you don't mind sharing the number of applicants in your program and have all of them received the medical request? This is really encouraging for the other applicants. I think this will be the fastest after 2018-19. I was wondering why the processing time is still stuck at 35 months.

I don't understand the logic behind people applied in 2022 received MR and people applied in 2020 still waiting for updates

If you apply for WP (Work Permit) on the basis of your Startup, BM & MR will come quickly. And if the work permit is granted you can fly and work in Canada related to your business but your PR process will take 35 Months. WP & PR are completely separate processes.

Hi everyone,
Today we received our pre-arrival services letter. I'm not sure if it means our PR is approved our not. I've heard the PR approval (copr) can take from a few days to a few months. I hope others have some input to it. Thanks.

Dear members I hve a query please if anyone can help me in that..My husband is a primary applicant and just submitted his PR..now we are planning to apply for the WP for a family of 5. As of recent updates of SUV the WP will b granted for 1 year later on if the extension required they ircc will see and decide accordingly. My concern is that if they refused to extend WP after a year then again we hve to move back. Because PR decision will take 35 months as of now. So im bit confused what to do. Please those whoes specially moved there on WP and got extension easily please need your views and suggestions about it. Thank you

There're few cases that could be rejected for extending WP. If you go alone and really invest the time/money to your start up project, you have proof for the reason why you need to extend WP to do more on this project, a report of what you have done in the past year, IRCC will evaluate and have good chance to extend WP. I see many cases of my friends, as well as our case . Don't worry too much, you need to have a good lawer.

Did you apply online or paper based? What country did you apply from? That is very fast. Congratulations! Are you the only founder?

I see the point, but the MR was for PR application not the WP application.
