    Startup Visa Program Timeline

    Maybe, everything is possible — nobody really knows what's going on. But personally, I don’t think that’s the reason. There are several factors that make me doubt it. For one, I haven’t heard of any SUV applicant getting PR since November or December last year — and my lawyer says the same...

    Startup Visa Program Timeline

    Just to clarify — by "decision," I mean either approval or rejection, as IRCC defines it in their explanation of how processing time is calculated: "Your processing time starts the day we receive your complete application and ends when we make a decision." I didn’t mean that the 2025 quota has...

    IRCC may make decisions on many applications during the last week, the majority of them from longstanding applicants , and that's justifying the horrible jump.

    Hello, Yes, we received the GCMS notes. According to the notes, eligibility, medical, and criminality have all been passed. Everything is passed for me as well, except for security. For my wife, sons, and daughter, even security is marked as passed. What's strange is that under the security...

    Could someone explain why the Start-Up Visa (SUV) program remains so sluggish? It's been over 4 years for many applicants — far beyond IRCC's stated processing times — with no decisions or updates. What's causing the silence?

    Startup Visa Program Timeline

    Dears Members, IRCC has updated the processing time for the Start-Up Visa Program to 43 months, up from the long-standing 40 months. This is the first time I’ve seen a 3-month jump in a single update, after months of stability. Surprisingly, I take this as a positive sign — it might mean IRCC...

    Lacks Innovation: Designated organizations under the Start-Up Visa program look for innovative, scalable, and tech-driven businesses.

    Unfortunately, yes — priority processing still applies even after a file is picked. This includes applications submitted before the priority instructions came into effect. If your application was picked under a non-priority designated organization (DO), it won’t move forward until IRCC has...
