    Startup Visa Program Timeline

    @ARMAH - this is really unfortunate and shows the extent of the problem. As far as I know Permanent AOR or PR application progress has nothing to do with the WP. SUV PR is processed by Sydney, NS office and SUV WP is processed by VAC based on your country.

    Startup Visa Program Timeline

    @katie.vanto - I respect your views, but I don't agree with them. I don't know how you are claiming in bold that IRCC timelines are not applicable to your application? Can you elaborate why you think so? Also I don't agree that IRCC knows best which applications should be priortized. Maybe you...

    Startup Visa Program Timeline

    @Kai Nemo Firstly, I don't agree with your conformist statement that "IRCC is intelligent enough to know which applicants should be given priority". It's a well established fact that IRCC like all monopolistic immigration authorities is a highly bureaucratic and flawed organization. And lot of...

    Startup Visa Program Timeline

    @padaja - In these times any update is good news. It means at least there is some work happening on the file. It's not just sitting in some office.

    Startup Visa Program Timeline

    @StrangerSUV - Thanks for the update! It's certainly good news for 2019 applicants. On the forum also, we have seen some activity for 2019 SUV applicants, most of them have got the Permanent AOR in Jan 2021. However all 2020 applicants have not received Permanent AOR. Overall, resources...

    SUV PR - Not a Priority for IRCC

    Like most SUV applicants, we have been patiently waiting for updates on our SUV PR file. I have found out that all SUV applications have been put on a hold indefinetly and processing SUV is not a priority for IRCC as of now. So just to clarify, it does NOT mean that the SUV program is ending, it...

    Payment for Start-up Visa idea

    @canadastartup - not sure what are you trying to ask? Are you making an observation or are you asking for an opinion if you should go through such lawyers and consultants? You seem to be a very smart person to have already realized that some lawyers and consultants are trying to circumvent the...

    About language tests in Start up Visa

    At this point, it's all speculative! A lot of applicants are in the same spot, but unfortunately there has been no clarity by IRCC or via webform. As of now one thing is for sure that IELTS scores are only valid for 24 months and they are not extending it. Temporary AOR - Only confirms receipt...

    Startup Visa Program Timeline

    @viberuz - It's not mandatory to incorporate upfront for SUV WP. Applicant can incorporate after receiving the SUV WP and when they actually move on the SUV WP to Canada.

    Applying for a Start-Up Visa directly?

    Vicky - you seem to be asking the same general questions on multiple posts, the answer remains the same - you will have to do the basic initial research yourself. Once you have done enough research then you need to ask specific questions via a new post and then experienced members will respond...

    Can Startup Visa Founder have another side job?

    Just to clarify, I am asking while the founder are still in their home country and have not received WP and PR. Basically, like all startup founders who moonlight or pickup side gigs to pay the bills before their startup starts generating revenue.

    Can Startup Visa Founder have another side job?

    Any of the Startup Founders on the group who have another side job and are moonlighting on their startup? If yes, then did you have to disclose your side job in the SUV application to IRCC? I am helping another startup in which one of the founder's has a side job, but they are also fully...

    A few questions re: Startup visa

    Yes, there are plenty of so-called consultants who will not even entertain you after they take the money and submit your application. They have created a ponzi scheme, where they get one person to sign-up and then through him get others like you to join-in. 1) Please understand startup visa...

    A few questions re: Startup visa

    Firstly, thank you for being honest and upfront! If I was to be equally honest, I will say that your friend and his consultant are trying to pull a big fraud on IRCC and they are trying to sell you an expensive dream! 1) False - You need to start a genuine business and IRCC can check anytime by...

    SUV program details

    Like I said before, if you have a legitimate startup and have patience then you need not worry about consultants/lawyers and loopholes. There is no ideal scenario and there is no gurantees irrespective if you go to lawyers or consultants. So don't try to circumvent or bend rules, it's not worth...

    SUV program details

    1) If you have a genuine startup, you won't need lawyers or consultants to help get the LOS. Having said that, it's a long process that can take anywhere from 3-12 months to get LOS. 2) If it's your startup then probably you have already invested some money and will continue to invest in the...

    Startup visa program question - August 2020

    You should start a new post with your question, you have better chance of getting a reply versus just repeating your same question on multiple posts.

    SUV Program

    Why do you need a reputable lawyer to incorporate a business? For a new startup, incorporation is pretty straightforward and can be easily done by any para-legal or CA. So no need to hire costly lawyers, unless you have a very complex situation (which is almost never a case for a startup visa...

    GLOBAL TALENT STREAM LMIA

    For GSS Work Permit, did you apply under "Foreign Worker" or "International Mobility Program"? It seems like both options are dependent on citizenship, anybody has any insights if applying under one or the other will impact our GSS? Thanks
