But you have motioned again Item # 1 as Temp File Number , so this means we will get a Temp File number also when we submit by Online ? if Yes then how long it takes for Temp File number to be assigned once we submit the application ?
I applied for the WP under the SUV program and got a refusal letter yesterday. The reasoning was generic and a bit lame. The entire processing time was very fast; it took 100 days only from app submission to the final decision - where as IRCC website was showing processing time as 12 months but these days its showing 9 months but my case was processed in 3 months. I submitted my app on 14 July 2022.
Refusal Reason:
I am the essential member of the company and submitting all docs. I have a very good travel history in all continents. I live many years outside Pakistan under Work permit too.
Refusal Reason:
- I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the endo your stay as required by Paragraph 200(1) (b) of the IRPR. I am refusing your application because you have not established that you leave Canada, based on the following factors:
- You did not demonstrate how this company will provide a significant economic, social and cultural benefit to Canada.

Who was your designated body VC / Angel / Or Business Incubator ? If you have AOR then I believe you obtain much details from GCMS
Is that 1 reason or 2 reasons? Doesn't make sense. What did was written in your CC as reason to apply work permit?
Hi,
Sorry to see that the IRCC has refused your application based on general and confusing reasons. I suggest you apply for a GCMS note to better understand the details of your rejections and reapply. But make sure you address all the gaps mentioned in the GCMS note in your new cover letter. If they refused again, then go to the federal court. It would be a long process, but unfortunately, there's no better way for now. It's very possible that the officer is not specifically trained for SUV, or you might simply forget to include a document and the officer got an excuse to refuse your case with no further follow-ups. Good luck.
@fkakar - Sorry to hear about your WP rejection. For any of us to comment on the merits and possible next steps, we would need more information like:
1) Current citizenship
2) Country of application
3) Any past visa applications to Canada and their status
4) Any past visa rejections or overstays in an country
5) Incubator/VC/Angel track record
6) Your personal profile in startups
7) Current startup innovation level and revenue metrics
8) Country you appled from
These are just some of the factors that could be impacting your WP rejection.
Having a SUV LOS does not gurantee WP, you are still assessed on your individual risk factors, like are you likely to overstay if for some reason your SUV PR is rejected. Based on my limited knowledge, for some reason IRCC thinks you are at a high risk of overstaying if your PR is rejected. And secondly, they seem to doubt the genuineness of your startup.
Is there anybody having issue with the IRCC employment portal? It has been down since last month.
When high risk of overstaying if your PR is rejected mentioned, does that also mean IRCC does not think the PR application would be successful?
Gladly, I'm hearing some SUV folks, who applied in October 2020, are receiving their permanent numbers lately. Has anyone got more updates? Please share. Cheers.
