Application for Open Work Permit under SUV PR Program

[ANUPAM.G72]

Hello
We ( four founders directors of a Startup ) applied for PR under Start up Visa Program in 2022 and received AOR . Currently my application is showing Returned though all required documents had been resubmitted and acknowledged by IRCC . We have initiated my PR file re-opening application via local MP Office as well

> Under these conditions , can I apply for Open work Permit( as per recent Introduction of 3 years Open Work permit for SUV PR applicants ),
> will there be any chance of getting OWP rejection due to PR portal showing status as "Returned". Though AOR is complete
> what supporting documents can be submitted with OWP application to mitigate possible effect of PR Portal "Returned" status

Requesting subject experts to kindly suggest

Regards

If your application has been returned and file closed, then you wouldn't be able to apply for an open work permit at this time since the open work permit requires that you have an application in progress. You would need to wait to see if your application is successfully reopened by IRCC and then submit the OWP application.

Do you know why it was returned? Have you ordered GCMS notes yet?

The reason we got was that Birth Certificate was not added with the PR application, which was later added and communicated to IRCC via webform, They Acknowledged that they received the documents . This was in Oct2023. while checking for updates through IRCC Agent Lines , they always stated that my Documents have been received and PR application is under re-consideration .

We took matter through Local MP office and got following response from IRCC (via MP office)

The reconsideration for application for XXXX is open and remains in progress.

The application has been canceled at the end of October 2023.

They have requested the reconsideration, and it is under review is Sydney, Nova Scotia.

The reason for the cancelation was that the birth certificate was missing on the PR file. It was deemed as incomplete.

No specific time frame for the reconsideration.

At this point I think you would need to hire a lawyer to do a writ of mandamus to force IRCC to make a decision on reconsideration.
