Lawyer said you fall under GSS even tho your are well established in India your company in bc canada is a bramch / affilate startup so you will get a 1 year visa , tho it should take 2 week , you can expect 12 months wating minimum

hey there. WP in my case took no more than 5 weeks in approval, but there was prior Covid in 2019.

I also formed a company in BC and i was the president of the company. Here are the costs i incurred:

Lawyer 10,000 CAD
Application WP/PR Fees: 3500 roughly
Company Formation: 1500 CAD

You can not expedite the process during this time, since it's covid time, things may take a little longer then expected, the best is to be patient

Hi SuvApplicant,
Can you kindly elaborate on the process you mentioned here for the WP. What is the process and what steps to take. What advantages are there to open a company and being its president.? How does it translate into getting a WP?

If you consider your lawyer effective do please share your lawyer's contact, if possible.

If there are any pointers to these details somewhere, I can look for details there as well.

Will be very grateful if you may guide me. I am an IT professional and developing software for my healthcare startup. Can also start a business.

Thank you for your time.
Regards

yes i did form a company in BC - however, did not transfer any money into that account. I have a very well established company in US and Pakistan. Hence, we explained eververything in the LOE how and what will be the next steps after getting the visa and setting up the office in Canada etc,

It would be really useful to me if you can share the name of the lawyers you used for company formation and virtual office! Many thanks!
