    Startup Visa Program Timeline

    SUV backlogs increased to 45,200 (+800), exactly as expected. What’s puzzling, though, is that around 600 applicants were added ahead of me in line. As a 2021 applicant, I’m curious where they came from and how their files jumped the queue. Another notable update: processing times for Protected...

    What about applicants holding an open work permit who have visited Canada three times, applied for renewal before its expiry in March 2025, and have not heard anything from IRCC since then—would they be considered in the second or third category?

    No one truly knows what IRCC is going to do. However, in my view, they will try to reduce part of the backlog by using the C-12 Bill, and another part by increasing refusal rates on minimal or technical grounds (a process that has already started). This would then allow them to justify...

    Next year iRCC is expected to reduce the massive backlog—although it is largely responsible for its creation due to poor management. This will be achieved through several measures. First, refusal rates will increase under various pretexts, which has already begun. Second, under Bill C-12...

    I can’t definitively say if it’s recent or old (most likely recent), but I can confirm this is the first time I’ve seen this information.

    Dear All, I know there is no clear-cut answer, but I have a question about processing order. If an applicant has met all the requirements (from eligibility to PAL to security all passed) and is classified as a second‑priority outland case, will IRCC effectively wait to process their file until...

    I believe priority is given to applicants outside. My question is, if an outside applicant with priority reaches the final stage (security) and is cleared, will IRCC hold their file until all priority inside applicants are cleared? Or is priority applied when picking files for processing, or...

    I have heard similar rumours, possibly from the same source. An immigration agency mentioned that IRCC sent a survey to TCN incubators only, with a response deadline around mid‑January 2025 (as far as I remember). This is very similar to what happened in 2023, when IRCC sent a survey shortly...

    Another 600 applications have been added to the backlog—the same number as last month since the system update—bringing the total to 44,400. Strangely, the 2021 backlog has remained unchanged over the past two months, indicating that no progress has been made in clearing it during this period.
