1. When you say DO, I'm assuming business incubators. Some incubators may charge fees for renting their premises for an agreed duration. Others might charge for business set-up costs, training programs, and such. A good incubator helps the founders make connections within the alumni network...

Yup. It was first March 17th, then changed to April 5th, but the email is for March 31st.

Hi - the IRCC website has a list of designated organizations/investor. Visit the websites of those investors to check their portfolio and see which one is the best fit for your business. It is highly unlikely that you will get a LOS from a VC unless your start-up is very profile or you have...

VC, not an incubator. The entire process took four years, but the actual paperwork process (from LOS to COPR) took only four months.

If you haven't received the medical test instructions yet (and obviously, haven't submitted), then this looks like a typo or entry error. It's best to send an email to IRCC to clarify.

I mailed in a paper application to Nova Scotia. I received my PR more than two years ago.

Have no idea about work permit timelines; never applied for one. Our application receipt to PR confirmation document took 4 months, but this was a few years ago, pre-Covid.

Couldn't have said it better. I was asked for BOTH my educational certificates and proof of salaried employment for the last 10 years. This was made as an additional document request. Again, both are NOT a part of the SUV document checklist. Eligibility and verification are two different things.

You should try to link the paper application online after creating an account. Once linked, you'll get all the updates on your file. https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/account/link-paper-online.html

Yes.

Yes. Along with a business/marketing plan. Google is your friend here.

Would love to see where that 45% rejection rate data came from. Agree on financial model and business plan - those you should have. I am surprised you already don't have one if you are running a business in 6 countries. Incorporation is NOT a pre-requisite. It is your call. I did not...

No, your lawyer is just making stuff up. You are not applying for a visitor visa. As long as you have the commitment certificate and fulfill the document checklist, that's all you need. He/she is just looking to make some extra money. If you are running a revenue-positive business, you should...

My previous comment was not deleted; it was waiting for a moderator to be approved since it contained links and lots of details. Can you see it now?

Yes.

Yes. As per Ministerial instructions MI 7 (1) and the IP 13 /OP 27 Start up visa manual, incorporation can happen once you receive your permanent residence and arrive in Canada. http://gazette.gc.ca/rp-pr/p1/2013/2013-03-30/html/notice-avis-eng.html See section 7 in the link above: "(2) A...

No, you do not need to incorporate. Your lawyer is ignorant. When in doubt, refer to the document checklist: https://www.canada.ca/content/dam/ircc/migration/ircc/english/pdf/kits/forms/imm5760e.pdf

No. Angels are the least likely group to support SUV entrepreneurs as they are investing their own money. Unless the start-up company in question has strong referrals, decent revenue, a track record, or a combination of these factors. You'll find better luck with VCs and incubators.

Same difference. Like I said, buyer beware. If I were you, I would give this 'arrangement' a hard pass. Up to you.

This does not sound right. They seem like bad actors who are taking undue advantage of the SUV program, and I wouldn't touch them with a barge pole. Why would the entrepreneur have to put $350,000 in escrow to 'prove' something? I'm assuming that you already have paying customers for your...
