Startup Visa Program Timeline

do you know what kind of health insurance and for how long we need before landing with work permit? @Halem

You can take an insurance local to Canada whose coverage starts the day you land. The time period you should take it for depends on which province you land in. For example, Ontario gives an OHIP health card with coverage that starts immediately once you apply for one (there used to be a 3 month waiting period for coverage to start but this has been exempted since the pandemic). So taking a 1 month health coverage is fine for Ontario.
Check for the health insurance rules of the province you plan to build your business in, and decide accordingly. Hope this helps.

Hello everyone

November 18, 2022 - SUV WP application submitted to IRCC, since then I didn't have receive any update. A friend of mine received medical exam and biometric request letter (not in my team, I applied alone) with in 1-2 months after submitting the application. Is it normal that I don't get biometric and/or medical request letter?

I highly appreciate sharing any timeline experience for WP.

Thank You

You should get the biometric request letter immediately when you apply for a WP, is what I have experienced, unless it has been given to them in a previous application. You should check in case it hasnt come in as yet.

Question about submitting web form (CSE) for SUV application: for PR applications applied online - the only in drop down menu is EE .
What option to choose?

What is you inquiry about? In drop down menu there are other options may match your need? Add or change docs, etc

 

[amir788]

There is nothing like that, seems like web form was not made for SUV

I did send a webform for changing a document using the “change documents” option and I got the response indicating that they received my document and added it to my file. 2 weeks ago.

Thanks @amir788, there is no "Change documents", could you point to what you chose?

No problem. Option called “replacement documents, amendment to documents, and….”

My partners and I have sent out the applications long time ago by paper, but seems NO updates since received the TEMP application number, while I see here some people in this post which submit through online system has got another number and able to view their application online already.
Does IRCC process online application faster than paper? I cannot search any record using the temp no. (even remove the X at the beginning as suggested by some nice ppl in this post). Moreover, I try to submit webform to update some of my personal information but have NO response either.

Any people in the similar situation and could provide some guidance? Thanks a lot !

Timeline:
Application sent: March 2022
Temp application no.: Jul 2022

Hey, the next step post getting a temp application number, is getting an AOR. For March 2022 applications, you will get this approximately in March 2024, as per current timelines. You will be able to see your application in the system by removing X only after you get an AOR . So dont think there is any issue in your application, you will not receive an update till then.
For online submissions, only difference according to me, is that people are automatically issued an AOR directly instead of temp number and they ask for biometric collection in this step.
However, their application is then added to the queue and will be processed in order. SO dosent make a difference.
Response from IRCC to Webforms take a long time, they have mostly got your request, you will get a response after 3 months or so!
You can try calling on the IRCC number to enquire about receipt of your webform.
Hope this helps.

Thank you so much for the detail reply!! At least I know the expected timeline and handling for paper and online submittion. But March 2024 to get AOR is really out of my expectations...... Such a long time!

Hey, I'm new here! I’ve been in Canada on a work permit so far and I submitted a start up visa application last year. Has anyone who applied over the past year received AOR yet? I also just came across this tracker that can help me understand where I stand in the application process compared to others but it seems pretty new (not many cases added yet). Maybe the more of us add our cases, the better we will see how quickly the process is moving along.

Applied in Sept. 2020 and still waiting . . . nothing

Nothing means not even received the temp application number?

Does requesting GCMS notes affect application processing in anyway?
