Like most SUV applicants, we have been patiently waiting for updates on our SUV PR file. I have found out that all SUV applications have been put on a hold indefinetly and processing SUV is not a priority for IRCC as of now. So just to clarify, it does NOT mean that the SUV program is ending, it just means right now there are other more important PR applicants and till the time they get processed, SUV applicant files will not be opened also.
The current timeline is quite ridiculous, based on the statistics most startups would have wrapped-up by the time their file comes up for review. So I am curious if anyone else has been successful in getting any reply from IRCC WebForm or through their Incubator/Angel/VC? Lot of us are paying the incubator fees without any material return, so this is clearly a loss making proposition with zero visibility on timeline.
One would think that SUV and other Economic Immigration programs should be priortized as they have potential for job creation. To give some context, one of the early SUV startup has raised over $400 Million in funding and is valued at $3.5 Billion and considered one of the most successful startups from Canada. Needless to say it has a huge impact on the number of jobs created and overall economic impact.
I am curious to hear any ideas on how we can collectively petition so IRCC starts processing SUV files. Even with the most aggresive numbers there can't be more than 300-400 pending SUV PR files. So it's not a huge number, so it's not resource intensive to start processing them.
Would love to hear other SUV applicants thoughts and ideas on what can be done to get IRCC to consider processing SUV files.
