Applying for a Start-Up Visa directly?

So what i understand is that i have to file my PR application before LOS expires and that's it. I don't need to pay incubator's fee after filing PR application. Right?

Yes, you file your PR app along with a valid LOS (i.e. before it expires.)

You'll need to speak with the incubator to get details on their fee structure. Each is different. Some take an upfront fee, some allow you to split the cost over several months. Others have a lower fee + equity. If you've opted for one with equity, they become shareholders, so you'd be paying them over the life of your company.

Would advise you speak with your incubator and see what they charge.

The rates for incubators are all over the place.

Can the incubator cancel LOS after i file PR application and stop paying? because i did not get this information from CIC website that minimum period to remain in incubator program.

I'm not sure if an incubator has the authority to cancel a LOS, but why would they want to do that unless you're violating the terms of their agreement?

All the incubators I've seen, issue a LOS after completing the program. If your intention is to cancel once you have the LOS, I'd imagine that'd be a violation of the program terms in any case. You should be prepared to pay the full incubator's fee if you want them to support your application.

Just to inform you all that I received PPR early November 2020 and I landed in Canada as Permanent Resident late January 2021.

I am currently rounding up my quarantine and I intend continuing my tech business here in Canada.

All the best everyone.

PS: My AOR is October 2019

Congratulations... you made it!!!

Few answers from you would be really helpful.

1. Was there any interview before approving PR?
2. Did they ask for any documents about your startup's financial projections or a business plan?

Any other information is highly appreciated for me & others.

Thanks

Great!

3. Did you incorporate in Canada before you land there?

Hi dear friends,
I hope all is well during these days,
Is there anyone has any idea about officer's update on technical progress of the project? The issue of corona disaffected on some sections of our company to meet and work in our origin country?
Is it a negative point for IRCC?? Although the incubator is being satisfied with the project and issued monthly progress with awareness of negative affect of spreading Covid-19 on some sections.
Is there any idea?
Cheers,

Hi,
congratulations on that! I hope everything goes smoothly for you from now on.

But I am not sure what IRCC is doing because the logical thing to do would be to send AORs from the beginning (Feb. 2020), not the end :-?

I wouldn't worry. I applied in April, so that's still pretty close to what I'd deem the 'start' of the pandemic and backlog. If you applied earlier and haven't heard anything, you should hopefully hear soon.

Thanks, I applied in August but I have a friend who applied in Feb. 2020 and only has a temporary file number.
May I ask if you also applied for a work permit? And what is your citizenship?

I received a temporary file number a couple of weeks before receiving a permanent one, so I imagine your friend should receive one shortly. I know people who applied around the time I did, and they only have a temporary one too -- so definitely don't worry.

I'm from the UK.

I did originally, yes, and received the acceptance letter. But the UK (and Canada, to an extent) was locked down at essentially the whole time the letter was valid, so I wasn't able to activate it.

May I clarify that you have received Temporary application number (TAN) and AOR on two different days?
Regarding the permanent no., do you mean that you have already received the Application File Number ?

With my application submitted in April 2020, I just received TAN in mid January 2021. By now, no AOR or Application File No are received. So would like to clarify if TAN and AOR are the same thing? Should I expect the next response be the AOR or Application File No?
