I have the questions to everybody that submitted ADR:
- does the business NEED to be generating revenue and have a CRA report? NO. But it's a plus factor.
- what exact document do you need to show to prove your business activity? If you are a legit entrepreneur, you'll know the answer.
- are they verifying if the INITIAL business you pitched is the business you operate? For example, one could have started a startup, then switched and started another type of business. SUV is for both pitched business (to be supported by incubators) and generated revenue business (to be invested by angel investors).
Switching or adjusting business is normal. As long as it similar to the things proposed in the LOS, and you can explain the change, then no one can refuse. Like that being said, if you are legit, you will not worry about this.
- are they denying applicants in case of business failure? With the new policy I've read recently,, I think YES.
All of those question comes from the fact that the process time is 37 MONTHS. At the initial of the SUV, they were supposed to accept PR only based on the pitched business. But because the process is SO SLOW, they now have the ability to ask for business report, which was NOT PART of the initial requirement. The report is to make sure you are legit.
I hope people with ADR can give some more details about all of this.
