Startup Visa Program Timeline

[ufarooqi]

My co-founders landed today on Startup Visa WP. But officer only gave it from the date of issuance i.e. not date of landing. When confronted, he said you can contact IRCC if you have issues.

Anyone in similar situation?

yes，you need a valid job in Canada first

Is the main applicant only allowed to work for their own business? My friend (main applicant) got an MSP card (Medical Service Plan in BC) while in BC but Ontario can't?

Previously, the main applicant need the company’s confirmation letter to show he/she is working in the company. The previous WP for main applicant is not a open work permit which means they can only work in specific company. However, I was heard IRCC released a new policy allows the applicant work in other company with the WP in June or July( I forgot). But I’m not familiar with the new policy.

Hello to all

I took the medical exam on Jul. 18th and got an update on my GCKey page stating " Review of medical results :You passed the medical exam." My question is, How long will it take the IRCC to make the decision on my PR ? What is next ?? what should expect next ? and how long is the waiting time ?

Thanks

Hello colleagues startupers

I have a recruitment website in dubai, it generates around 500 000 CAD revenue per year.

Worth to try or too small?

Hello dear startuppers,

It has been some time since this post.
The biz has grown and is very busy now.

I was invited into many incubators across Canada (received response from every province) and ended up choosing one.

But I got a rejection because I hired fraudulent lawyers that ditched my startup visa

If you wish, can describe the overall experience, these lawyers (the scheme, so other startuppers could avoid it), and general stranges / problems I faced during the process. Maybe as a separate thread.

I may be appealing or re-applying. But will take a break because incredibly busy now (currently in the process of restructuring & rebranding, also got a co-founder from NL, and maybe will be relocating part of biz to this country).
