Hello everyone,
Anyone ( submitted / paper via mail (international / outside Canada September 2020 ) here got an approval on SUV ??
also share the timeline please . . . mine, submitted sept2020, AOR Sept2022 , biometric Oct2022, and waiting so far !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I know an SUV applicant, who submitted his case in July 2020 and recently received his medical request after submitting document updates. I also know another applicant who applied in August and received his medical a few weeks back. I believe your waiting time would end soon. Let us know here when you get it, please.

Hello Everyone,

This is my first post on this forum but I have been following inputs from all of you for a while now. I appreciate and thank everyone for sharing their knowledge here.

I am in the process of applying for PR under SUV program and wanted to know that if in our LOS we mention that we will be applying for WP (urgent reason to come to Canada) but we actually do not apply for WP and wait for PR only. Will this have any negative impact on our application at the time of PR processing by immigration officer.

We are double minded as should we mention this in LOS or not because we may or may not need the WP in next 1-2 years.

It would probably have negative impact on your pr application if you did mention urgent reason for wp on the los but you don't ask for wp. Unless you somehow justify that, because you need to show the business progress during waiting time for pr.

Applying for WP is an option for SUV applicants and there's no line of rules to say it's mandatory. But have in mind that the IRCC officer will be asking for a progress report to see if you take your project seriously, whether or not you applied for WP.

I need advice
I am expecting my startup WP, but my passport will expire less than a year (almost a year). If I did renew the passport would it affect the visa labeling process? I applied from Iran and our visa is processing in Ankara, Turkey. I have heard that it may cause longer waiting time to lable visa on our passport after sending the pass to VAC if we send a new passport . Sharing Any info or experience would be greaty appreciated.

Any thought,
Is it worth it to get visa on the current pass with shorter time and then renew passport after I land in and then request for wp extending?

Yes, for the current application you have submitted, I believe, your visa as well and your work permit will be issued only till the last day of your passport.
My view is that the renewal processes are an unnecessary pain, and avoiding them for as much time as possible maybe better. As you are thinking, you should definitely try and see if you can get the Work permit and visa on a new passport.
But not sure if you can link the same application to a renewed passport. :( Maybe you can check more about this on other forums, will be a common issue with multiple applications/ streams.

My problem is linking, I am unable to link my PR application to my GCKey, account, I tried all option without any sucess, does anyone has faced same problem?
I received my AOR today, and I also got a biometric request for my spouse, exactly as in your case. I was able to link my application. Try to remove X from your application number.
