I'm in an almost exact position as you. I don't think anyone had to wait this long before so we are the first ones that will update the others, let's hope next week will see some progress.

The entire timeline for the SUV program processing is highly unpredictable so I can't say with certainty. Hopefully you should get yours soon as the background stage has crossed 6 weeks.

The first set of documents was about my work experience and the second was required an explanation about the business how it will operate in Canada. If you think that those requests are unusual I thought that too, but I think they either were doing their due diligence or just being extra careful since I'm applying from Kosovo.

I have been recently accepted into one of the incubator programs after interview and supposed to take a intensive course of 2 weeks. Does it take a long time to get the letter of support as the business is very serious in need to get into market soon...
is it good to attend the course ?

it's always nice to meet people in person .but they must be cost fortune to attend such course, we can not make decision for you.
