Any updates guys?


While IRCC appears to be processing Start-up Visa (SUV) applications in their system, I've noticed they haven't been issuing many final decisions lately. This observation comes from forum discussions and the official processing time, which has remained fixed at 40 months for several months now. Applications seem to be moving through preliminary stages, but there's a noticeable absence of final approvals being reported by applicants.

That is true, I believe that there's nothing we can do for now, all we can do is pray for things to work.....

i would like to ask the SUV applicants who are still outland and all members still out of Canada. did you receive
1- ADR about business progress.
2- did IRCC ask for financial activities or Bank accounts in Canada
3- and how did you manage to open a business bank account in Canada meanwhile all of the founders are still outside of Canada.
4- does failure to open business bank account can affect on company’s banking credibility and jeopardize your PR application

ADR about business progress?

Yes, we received an Additional Document Request (ADR) from IRCC about business progress. I think all SUV applicants will get this, as IRCC wants to confirm you’re actively working on the start-up.


Did IRCC ask for financial activities or bank accounts in Canada?

No


How did you manage to open a business bank account in Canada while all founders are outside of Canada?

Honestly, I don’t know .


Does failure to open a business bank account affect the company’s banking credibility and jeopardize your PR application?

No, I don’t think not having a Canadian bank account will directly jeopardize your PR application. Our lawyer, who’s super strict and organized, never said a Canadian account is required. when our main applicant was in Canada briefly, the lawyer advised opening a Canadian account since he was physically there, noting it looks good for credibility but isn’t an issue.
