    Startup Visa Program Timeline

    Do you know what our real problem is? We don’t have a voice that truly represents us. We’ve never learned how to make our voice loud enough to be heard.

    Hi all, There’s been a lot of discussion around C-12 and SUV applications. While some think it targets the SUV backlog, another perspective is worth considering: the bill may be more focused on preventing fraud and misrepresentation in immigration, especially after recent student visa cases...

    The Minister’s response seemed a bit unclear. Her remarks were meant to reassure the public, but the lack of clear boundaries around Bill C‑12 leaves things open to interpretation. It sounded like an attempt to ease concerns, but it may not fully rebuild confidence, especially since the power to...

These concerns center...

    Our concerns are both legitimate and well-founded—they're grounded in credible reports and ongoing public discourse. It's completely understandable to feel anxious given what's being discussed. However, it's important to note that as of October 28, 2025, Bill C-12 has not been passed into law...

    The last two teams who received their COPRs in this forum were outland applicants, as I noticed. Also, I know a team currently residing in Dubai who obtained their PR about three months ago.
