Dear Nima987,

I have been following this forum for over four years, diligently reading almost all posts and comments. During this time, I've observed that your case file appears to be the oldest without a decision, spanning approximately 48 months if my calculations are correct. Our group has now become the second-oldest active case after a group that submitted their application in April 2021 recently received approval.

Given this context, I'm curious about the reasons behind the significant delay in processing your file, which seems to far exceed the standard processing times. Could you shed some light on any specific factors contributing to this extended wait?

In our case, we are aware of a particular reason for the delay. One member of our team had previously been granted Permanent Residency (PR) in Canada many years ago but subsequently revoked it, resulting in a deportation order. We believe this circumstance has contributed to the prolonged processing of our application.

I would greatly appreciate any insights you could provide regarding your situation, as it may help others in similar circumstances better understand the complexities of the immigration process.
Hi there
I actually have no idea about it, as it’s going to exceed 48 months by end of January 2025, I gonna ask my representative to submit a Note to have a deeper insight into my file.
I think processing of our team started by one year delay, I received AOR in March 2023, but processing started in April 2024,
Afterwards it has processed similar to other cases.
As I know there is no major issue like the one you mentioned in our team, all medical passed and no security issues in background checks should be on horizon, so we have no way to be patient and wait
Hope everyone gets good news soon

Hi there
Trust all going well
Our DO is a normal one and no priority is considered, it’s obvious by our timeline
We have been in touch with other groups in some WhatsApp channels and here in this forum.
About your third question, I have no exact idea ; as I heard it depends on the country you live in, if you have resided in several countries it obviously takes more time.it might be done by third party in some cases

hope you find it useful

The name was ´Startup Visa Canadà but four months ago after a cyber attack got closed, it was mainly for Iranian applicants.
There are some other groups in telegram or WhatsApp, but be careful to share your personal details
Right now I only check this forum.
Good luck
