Startup Visa Program Timeline
- Thread starter deenfae
- Start date
While IRCC appears to be processing Start-up Visa (SUV) applications in their system, I've noticed they haven't been issuing many final decisions lately. This observation comes from forum discussions and the official processing time, which has remained fixed at 40 months for several months now. Applications seem to be moving through preliminary stages, but there's a noticeable absence of final approvals being reported by applicants.
That is true, I believe that there's nothing we can do for now, all we can do is pray for things to work.....

Hi
Thanks for sharing. Did you file for a work permit and get it? Also- where’s the list for priority DOs? Are all Angel Investor groups part of priority DO or not?thx
Greeting L&G,
i would like to ask the SUV applicants who are still outland and all members still out of Canada. did you receive
1- ADR about business progress.
2- did IRCC ask for financial activities or Bank accounts in Canada
3- and how did you manage to open a business bank account in Canada meanwhile all of the founders are still outside of Canada.
4- does failure to open business bank account can affect on company’s banking credibility and jeopardize your PR application
thanks for your clarifications, i hope answers will be based on real cases.

ADR about business progress?
Yes, we received an Additional Document Request (ADR) from IRCC about business progress. I think all SUV applicants will get this, as IRCC wants to confirm you’re actively working on the start-up.
Did IRCC ask for financial activities or bank accounts in Canada?
No
How did you manage to open a business bank account in Canada while all founders are outside of Canada?
Honestly, I don’t know .
Does failure to open a business bank account affect the company’s banking credibility and jeopardize your PR application?
No, I don’t think not having a Canadian bank account will directly jeopardize your PR application. Our lawyer, who’s super strict and organized, never said a Canadian account is required. when our main applicant was in Canada briefly, the lawyer advised opening a Canadian account since he was physically there, noting it looks good for credibility but isn’t an issue.
Hi, Im not sure if im in the right thread, any help would be appreciated. I had a temporary residency and applied for a work permit while leaving in Canada. It was aproved and i got my work permit stamped on my pasaport. Do i have to go to the port of entry to activate it?
Immigration as a whole seems paused right now, I suppose most of them are waiting for the formation of a new government, and the way it views immigration to start fulfiling their demands. Immigration levels are a key election point.
Hello,
1. applied on 3rd March 2024 non priority DO…Still no AOR or any ADR
2. As above
3. Business bank account opened in RBC ( all process done online)
4. No idea, but if its doable it should be done…please also note that if you are outside Canada you can open bank account but it will not be active for any outbound transactions
Thanks a lot. may i ask what kind of deposit limitation on bank account (min. deposit), does all of co-founders are outland.

Hello everyone,
I'm curious if any fellow SUV (Start-up Visa) applicants have received their Permanent Residence since the beginning of 2025?
Has anyone in the SUV stream received their approval this year, or have you heard of any successful cases? I'd appreciate if you could share your timeline or any information you might have regarding recent approvals.
Thank you for your insights!
