Guys I have done some research.

Please correct me if am right ?

April 2022 Backlog was 5,156
July 2022 Backlog is 1,309

Is both data in persons or applications?

Did they really reduced inventory by processing 3,800 persons/applications in three months ?

July 2022:

My interpretation : they use some AI software and rejected a lot of applicants. The numbers are lower because of the rejection not because of the processing.

@HelloSUVCanada - You seem to be mixing up between Visitor Visa and SUV applications. There is no AI based rejections for SUV applications or for that matter any of the immigration categories. What you are refering to is for Visitor Visa applications.

My


My PR timeline wasn't exactly linear: I was never requested for medicals. I asked for a medical exemption via the webform.

So I didn't receive any pre-arrival services email (perhaps because I'm inland or IRCC changed procedure for inland applicants).

I think the pre-arrival services occur before or after the medicals

I just received an email from IRCC confirming that PR was approved and an eCoPR invitation via the PR portal
Hi,
Hope you are doing well and have got your PR card. I got the PR approval yesterday. They said I should send a web form and inform them I'm in Canada. I just wanted to ask if you remember which "Type of enquiry" should select and how long did it take for you to get your CoPR? My family is out land and it seems I should get my CoPR first and then send their passport to VFS
Thank you

The only ADR regarding to business:
Please provide details on the level of due diligence that has been performed in order to determine that this is a growth-oriented business that is viable in Canada.
Congratulations! that is very exciting! What did you reply for the ADR? How many people are in your group? Did every one in your team receive the COPR yesterday?

How did few thousand applications processed if they were not rejected in less than a few months?

Not really, if you're not paid inland you can't renew. Pretty weird they don't have a better policy considering how the pandemic affected Start-Ups. We have revenue in Brazil mostly but in Canada things have been slow so I can't be paid in Canada yet but I am in Brazil.
hello
could you renew your work permit ?
will be gald if you can share details about extension of SUV work permit
and what do you mean by ” not paid inland “
thank you
