I apologize for the delay in updating. I did get my Visa Stamped in around 8 days in Dubai, reached Canada around 20 days ago. Work permit was issued for 1 year at the airport.

Company is doing good, got an office and everything. Hiring employees, will file for 00 LMIA again in around 8-9 months (since now the criteria for owner operator is that business should be running for a year).

Congratulation on your arrival to Canada eventually! It must be a long journey! Can I ask the boarder entering was smooth? Did the office ask a lot questions on the business profile? How about procedure on covid testing/vaccine?

no questions, very straight forward. Took less than 2 minutes

Covid vacinne certificate and test before flying. I didn't fly out of india, so it was much easier. I was in dubai for few weeks

Got approval for SOWP couple of days ago, but still its pending for a 5 year old Child. IRCC is really bad at this. All of us applied in June 2020 and even after 21 months, one of 3 family members doesn't have visa.

Congrats. What are the SOWP timelines and where did you apply from?

It’s good to see that you are good now. If you are working in 00 for one year in Canada, you are LMIA- exempt to get your 200 pts, right?

I am confused about the new criteria for running a business for one year. Is it for the application for second lmias only or for all first ones.

thank you so much and wish EE will invite you immediately when you work one year.

Use term “urgent” to webform them, for it is inhumane.

Congratulations on your landing and thank you so much for sharing your experience so far in the forum.
From your experience, would you advise Under the Business Immigration Program, I'm required to live in a particular province of my business? Or I can live in some other province to work remotely?
