Congrats! Assuming you are still in India (saw a prev post), do follow the process for 2 way courier once you get PPR. Make sure you enter the pickup details correctly but still keep track and double check as VFS did mess up my passport drop!

So Katie answered this but once you become a PR, I believe they will cancel the other VISAs. My single entry immigrant visa was also canceled - the immigration officer even informed me while doing so. Ideally, you can get a PRTD to travel back into Canada if you do not have the PR card. For all...

Yup, I had a bunch of friends contact me now that I am here. I showed them the processing time and they stopped asking more questions

Made it to Canada yesterday and now officially landed as PR! PR card will take 4 months - so do keep in mind if anyone is planning a move but needs to travel out early.

Exactly. Fortunately, the courier partner (Bluedart) was able to track down my passport and I just received it along with other documents (COPR + instructions)!

And just to add some spice to this roller-coaster of a process, VFS India has managed to entered the wrong pin code for delivery and my passport is stuck in transit somewhere. :eek: No, I only showed them my Indian bank account. I will probably open one in Canada remotely before I land as a...

Thanks, if you follow the quoted posts, you'll see it but here you go: https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/startup-visa-program-timeline.571746/page-42#post-9719063

Final decision - October 11, 2021: Your application has been approved. Feels surreal after visiting that website every day for nearly 2 years - no more trying to get around the GCKEY login issues! Now waiting for the passport to come back to me tomorrow or the day after.

I looked up my docs, looks like we skipped adding my co-founder (even as non-essential) altogether due to the lack of clarity as @Startup_Visa said above.

This will be very specific to your business. I submitted our traction and revenue growth over past 12 months which in our case was too good. Don't fret much about this, I am sure as long as you show the business is still making some progress, they should be fine. They probably want to check if...

I really considered it but I don't want to take my chances especially with another possible wave in my current country (India). Going to head in a month - used to live a nomadic life pre-pandemic, so moving comes easy. I am dreading Toronto winters, so might check out Vancouver as an option.

Haha thanks and as an avid F1 fan, Ferrari is not doing as well these days but they are catching up - just like all of us in the SUV process xD All the best with yours too! I am sure you'll be hearing good news in October.

Thank you! And like you said before, only essential founders do.

Just got the PPR :)

Nope, no documentation was ever asked about non-essential founder but make sure your LOS is clear about it.

Yeah, it was not an easy decision but my co-founder did not have the exact settlement funds back then and we decided to get LOS only for me. I even skipped the work permit but thankfully our business survived and actually did well since the pandemic. How many co-founders do you have? And I am...

We are two co-founders in the company but only I applied being the essential one. As for docs moving faster, based off my GCMS notes, it seems like my file was pretty much good to go a year ago too but travel was shut. They are probably just checking everything again - only this time, it's faster.

Thanks Kai, things seem to be finally moving for our AOR batch! 1. I took the IELTS test in December 2019. 2. I uploaded a scanned copy (original was sent with application) as the TRP since the test results are valid for 2 years. Also attached a text PDF of the provisional results from IDP but...

Hey everyone, I have been lurking these forums for nearly 2 years when I first considering the SUV process as a result of getting into a well known incubator. A lot of the early comments were so helpful that I decided to not only pursue SUV but also skip a lawyer for the process. I managed to...
