Hi

Here detailed answer to your question

How can I get support from a designated organization?

You should submit your business plan to list here
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigratio...isa/eligibility/designated-organizations.html

If you selected, will get "Letter of support", It took us 2+ years to get it

Good Luck

Hi Guys,

Did you finally get your work permit?

If yes, how long did it take?

By the way, I couldn't Foreign Worker - International Mobility Program application page even though I followed the instructions.

 

[teejax]

I will suggest you all commence a paper application cos I couldn't even get the reference code for Foreign Worker - International Mobility Program despite following the instructions.

It kept pushing me to commence Foreign Work Permit, so I decided to use paper application.

You can inform the VAC that it's SUV application to be considered for priority.

Hello @teejax,
I too applied for a work permit under startup visa on July 30, 2019.
I did not find the Foreign Worker - International Mobility Program, I guess because I applied from inland (I am on a study permit in Canada )and had different questions set. Anyway, I applied for the Work Permit, but it has been over 2 weeks and my application has not yet started processing.
Any comments on my situation?
When approximately I should expect my work permit?

Thank you
