This program is actually for principal applicants with work permits, but their spouse and children are ineligible for work permit
We don't know yet how it might affect SUV principal applicants and spouses

I know at least 5 groups who submitted from July to August 2020 and were asked for document updates.
That's very unfortunate for me! applied on June and nothing so far but the AOR!

Do you have any idea what kind of documents that need to be updated?

Don't worry. There's no logic for IRCC, sooner or later they will come to your case! they have to.
Based on what I'm told or heard, the documents can differ case by case, but mostly these documents were asked: progress report, education documents, military service, proof of funds, schedule A form, travel history form, police certificate, and incorporation documents.

Processing time now is 32 months up 1 month! which seems logical and I sadly think this number is subjected to increase if processing applications is this slow!

Its called the Canadian Immigration Levels Plan
Federal Business = SUV + Self Employed
2022 Quota = approx 1,000
700 SUV + 300 SE approval this year can be estimated from Statistics Canada
2023 Quota = approx 3,500
2024 Quota = approx 5,000
2025 Quota = approx 6,000

Cross-reference to the current Federal Business application backlog to estimate the change in processing time from AOR to CORP for 2023 & 2024

Where did you get the 700 + 300 number? I thought the average acceptance was around 1200 for 2022.

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/annual-reports-parliament-immigration.html

2019 range 500 - 1500; 1,336 total approvals (last year for IRVC Pilot); 515 SUV approvals
2020 range 500 - 1400; 575 total approvals (SUV + FSE)
2021 range 400 - 1250; 565 total approvals (SUV + FSE)
2022 range 800 - 1500; target 1000; H1 2022 325 SUV approvals
700 SUV + 300 SE approval this year can be estimated from Statistics Canada

Federal Business makes up less than 0.5% of Economic Immigration :(
