That also surprised me, but maybe the second PAL in 2025 was due to an action initiated in 2024 before the prioritization changes took place. Like maybe they initiated the security check in 2024, the security agencies returned the 'passed' status in 2025, it led to the PAL2, but an officer still can't finalize the case and issue a PR because the case is not in the priority stream. Just a guess, though.

Greeting Guys,
How many SUVs starting sales and generating income in Canada? does such kind of progress can be consider and prioritize and being in fast track for file processing. as i can see now non of inland/outland Do priorities are being fast tracked so may be SUVs who are creating +ve income and tax paid could be faster than all other SUVs, aren't they? - just a guess.

I’m making over $500K, inland, with a priority-designated organization. It has been 8 months, and I haven’t even received an AOR yet. I’m already considering moving to another country that’s actually entrepreneur-friendly.
Without PR, scaling a startup in Canada is almost impossible. Banking options are limited, they even put a limit on your corporate debit card. Yes, debit. I have a 900 personal credit score, but it means nothing. It has no impact on corporate access.
And I’m not even talking about the vultures circling around.
You are absolutely right, especially about the frustrations with the debit card limit. My business has been operating in Canada for over a year now. I have even hired two local Canadians to help with sales and operations. The company generates monthly revenue. I do pay taxes and do not receive any social benefits. At the very least, I should be able to receive my AOR first. Currently, my project has not received an AOR either.
New Canada Immigration Levels Plan Consultations Are Now Open

Dear Abu Faris,
I completely agree with your perspective on Canada’s upcoming immigration restrictions, as this aligns with recent news and discussions circulating widely. However, I hold onto hope—since hope is what keeps us going—that the authorities might reconsider the quota for the SUV program. My reasoning isn’t just personal; it’s rooted in the impracticality of maintaining the current quota. Logically, if the status quo persists, processing times could balloon to over 120 months—10 years—which is simply unreasonable.
Moreover, the SUV process itself is time-intensive. It takes approximately a year to form a team, assign roles, and secure the necessary letter of support. Given these realities, I believe a reevaluation of the quota is not only justified but essential for the program’s sustainability.
I agree with you, it's such a frustration that your hope to build a stable and bright future for yourself and your family which was supposed to take at the time of submission around 12 to 16 months .... Now it's estimated 52 months and still no indication of final approval or clear standing view of our progress level. Despite the time and money spent on this long process we still wish that things will be reconsidered and fixed to our benefits.
Hi SUV Friends,
Just FYI to read! It may make you feel a bit less frustrated.
