Startup Visa Program Timeline

I don't know exactly when he applied since he is a friend of my friend not mine.
But my friend said he applied around 2021-2022.

Thank you for the update.

Again, I am not trying to put anyone down...I just wanted to reflect and let everyone know, to expect the worse, and sort of perhaps detach emotionally from this program, and look at alternatives. I am doing it.

If everyone's application is successful, that's great! I wish everyone the best, however, currently it doesn't seem like it might happen anytime soon. There also many, many applicants in Canada since many years, stuck in limbo.

Just for your information which is just shared by one of my friends in Canada

Bill C-12 is explained in detail by one of the experienced Immigration Lawyers

What is the Bill C-12 ?
Just extract the one regarding SUV =>

• In the field of immigration, this is particularly important. Bill C-12 is a prime example: Many people only read the heading "allows visa cancellation," without understanding that it is merely a technical addition to standardize the handling of specific cases – a right that has long existed within IRPA.
• Understanding the document correctly helps both the consultant and the applicant enhance the authenticity of their application. Each type of immigration has its own way of proving authenticity:
• For Entrepreneur Profile / Start-Up Visa: Methods for demonstrating and proving authenticity => There is a real project, real activity, product, MVP, company account, R&D spending, contracts, and proof of interaction with the DO.

=> ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: RESPONSE TO INCORRECT CONTENT REGARDING BILL C-12 IN A RECENT ARTICLE

• 1) Content that is being spread/misunderstood 01: Bill C-12 empowers IRCC to cancel a large number of immigration applications, particularly in the Start-Up Visa program => “There is no provision in Bill C-12 that permits “mass cancellation.” Sections 66–69 only provide for the right to cancel or suspend individual records “in specified circumstances.”
• 2) Content that is being spread/misunderstood 02: Bill C-12 directly refers to the Start-Up Visa or incubators => “Absolutely not. The entire Bill C-12 makes no mention of Start-Up Visa, incubator, or MI72. These inferences have no legal basis.”
• 3) Content that is being spread/misunderstood 03: Bill C-12 -> IRCC can retroactively delete pending cases. => Incorrect. The bill is not retroactive. Cancellation or suspension only applies to applications that violate eligibility requirements at the time of review.
• 4) Content that is being spread/misunderstood 04: Bill C-12 threatens the entire business immigration industry. => No. Bill C-12 only enhances transparency, helping to filter out fraudulent applications or "ghost" businesses. Those submitting genuine applications and running legitimate projects benefit from a more transparent environment.

Conclusion:
Bill C-12 is not a threat, but a reminder that the Canadian immigration system is becoming increasingly transparent and rigorous. At this time, the only way to be safe is to submit a genuine application, a genuine project, and genuine evidence. An honest application will not only pass the law – but will also be protected by law.

Hope it may help!
By the way, please don't ask me any questions since I am the same you just a SUV PA... and not a lawyer.
Cheers
Hali

We submitted our application under the (SUV) Program in Sept 2021. To date, eligibility have been passed, However, the application remains pending due to ongoing security screening (A34), which has now been in progress for over 18 months In parallel, our initial work permit has expired, and we have submitted an application for an Open Work Permit (OWP), which has also remained pending for more than one year without any decision; we are suupprtive with priorty DO.

Any body can advise his experience with mandamus for similar case ? how many mandumus is going for SUV be succesfuly and how long will take ? will end with PR ?

Hi
Our case is most likely the same your case. We got & submitted the 2nd MR since Dec, 2024 .
GSMS note: Security passed but expired and it is now in process.
