Startup Visa Program Timeline
- Thread starter deenfae
- Start date
Federal Court rules that a 51-month delay for IRCC's processing of a Start-Up Visa application is unreasonable. Madam Justice Go held that this was because even though the current processing time on the IRCC website is 53 months, it was considerably shorter when the applicant applied in 2020.

Bill C-12 was introduced to separate and streamline border security and immigration reforms due to significant controversy and opposition surrounding key provisions in the original Bill C-2.
OUCH....I have a question, my GCMS notes and as per last portal status shows Eligibility passed and security processing. I am from a priority DO, and this 10 Years is something very shocking!. So does this mean it applies to my application as well? Because eligibility is passed!
Priority DO
Applied in Feb 2024
Medical Done in Sep 2024
Got PAL Services Letter Feb 2025
Since then waiting
Great progress so far — and the most important part is that you passed eligibility. Just keep in mind, the longest stage is the one you're in now (PAL to decision). That said, I honestly believe IRCC doesn’t follow a strict rulebook when it comes to their workflow.
I think @AMokhtar mentioning "10 years" was more ironic than literal. But if IRCC doesn’t revise the quota, then realistically, new applicants could be looking at way more than 10 years — simple math backs that up. At some point, they’ll have to either adjust the quota or scrap the program entirely.
well this is what IRCC is showing as of now
As previously stated, the timeline will extend further. Additionally, the current update lacks differentiation between priority and non-priority tasks.
