Startup Visa Program Timeline
- Thread starter deenfae
- Start date
You will receive biometric collection letter when you receive AOR. As of right now, only people applied on or before May 2020 have received AOR. You still have a long way to go.
It is so unfortunate. I want to take the biometric for PR then apply for work permit since the PR biometric can be used for WP, but not vice versa. and It is difficult to do the biometric twice since I have to go abroad to do that (with my family). Any Idea if the WP biometric can be used for PR because of covid situation?
Yes the biometric is valid for 10 years for all type of visa applications. If you apply for work permit now, you will do biometric within a few days and then you won't have to do it for PR.

Guys, today I received a message on my account for ADR (Additional Document Request).
Now, I'm not sure if it is because of the collective action initiated by @Rakap - because I had also written to my MP about the absurd processing times last week.
I hope it is because of the collective action we took - so that it can be good news for everyone.
Here are my details
Applicant sent: 14th April 2020
Application received: 17th April 2020
Temp AOR: 15th Jan 2021
Medical passed: 28th October 2021 (exemption -> used existing medical taken a few years ago)
Permanent AOR: 21st April 2021
ADR: 8th March 2022
