Startup Visa Program Timeline

Just a few pages back we were seeing positive movements but since Feb/Mar 2022 it's dry. Seems like SUV has been sidelined

I know it's not going well as it should be. We started planning to become a pr since 2018!! We never thought It would take that much time. However, I know an immigration advisor who has like 100 cases right now. She said that she got her June/July cases ADR already for like 50% of them which is a bit of hope for us.

We recently got accepted to an incubator. Did you guys use any professional service to write a business plan?. I have already written around 15 pages business plan and attached it with my incubator application. Not sure if that would be sufficient for the PR application.

P.S. I'm part of the founding team but already a Canadian Citizen.

Hii..
I have applied for PR under Start up visa program in 2021 and received temporary file number. Didn’t get the update since then. Anyone who got PR after 2020?

I noticed it depends on the Designated organization. Some are better seen by IRCC so they ask for fewer documents. Others ask a lot more.

Nope, they recently started processing people from May-June 2020 so it's a mess.

They are saying they have speed up their process. I don’t know what is going on.

Was this an official statement? Or do you know of any cases?

Not an official statement. I was informed by my consultant.

 

[Emuman]

seems same story for many. people here,
what documents were requested in the ADR? Did you get any news yet?

it's simply regular document updates, nothing special. but IRCC only gives us 7 days to upload the documents DURING Chinese New Year, when no government agency is working, so get prepared

Hi
I am also interested in SUV. I would really appreciate it if you can get back to me with some detail
1) which incubator did you get your letter of support from? did you get it with just a business idea OR a fully functional business?
2) if you have a fully functional business, is it in the pre-revenue OR revenue-generating stage?
3) how long did it take to get the letter of support?
Look forward to getting your help. Thanks

Sure friend, here is the information:

1) Next Canada in the NextAI program. We already had the company running.
2) We're in the revenue-generating stage but at the time it was very little revenue
3) We'll once we got into the program it was immediate. They sent the email with the acceptance into the program and the instructions for the application. Once I got all the documents and information they prepared it.
