With recent changes announced to immigration level programs, reducing slots from 5000 to 1000 (including self employed) is there any realistic chance for non priority applicants? or is SUV program no longer viable.
This is an uncertain scenario. No one knows anything after this development. As per an immigration law firm there are approx 9000 startup visa applications (Groups) pending (backlog) and almost 29000 individual applications (on an average 3+ people in a group). Now rest of the math you my learned friends can do. You can estimate that including Self Employed program how many applications from Startup Visa can be processed per annum? Moreover per year 800+ SUV group applications (most of it will be priority) will be added as there are 82 designated organizations. Most importantly as my friend @BigDreamBoy has mentioned that non-priority applicants are the most badly hit category. Any suggestion or any correction is always welcome.

The same thing happened to me today, this is not logical, how they asked us to submit WP till issuing the PR, and then they refused it because we didn't proof we are on a temporary visa.
I can't understand.
Guys on a sad note i have to mention, the post my first SUV work permit rejection in June 204, the lawyer reviewed, redrafted the work permit, this time with more details and elaboration and applied in October 2024, today got the rejection notification from IRCC.
We still don't know the reason as he haven't checked it, but I'm just perplexed why? when startup has been approved by the designated firm, PR is in process, then why rejection of work permit?
Anyone went through the same experience?
Any ideas, support discussions are welcome....

Mine got rejected twice..March and May
There is no valid reason behind rejection
Went for redetermination even then refused.
WPs will not be gvn as they need to cut down acc to the quota

I have an odd question.
The SUV PR condition is that essential member should travel to establish the business. Now in this case that the multiple WP applications are being rejected, what would be the status of PR. Some say its not mandatory to come to Canada before PR, but i am confused how would the PR be processed if the business is not progressive.
Can someone educate us how this will work
