Startup Visa Program Timeline
- Thread starter deenfae
- Start date
Check the below link it gives a good perspective of the current backlog. While there is no timeline of when these backlogs would be cleared, but it's good to know where we stand and that the wait is going to be longer.

There is a backlog of following number of applications in IRCC’s inventory as of October 27, 2021 (figures are rounded):
- 548,000 permanent residence applications
- 776,000 temporary residence applications
- 468,000 Canadian Citizenship applications (as of October 26)
- 1,792,000 total applications in inventory
Hi Everyone,
As IRCC mentioned, "Number of PR applications is 1387 from Startup Visas Business.... in Persons" I wonder if "in Persons" means that number only included the Principle Applicants or also included the dependents (children & spouse,...)?
Cheers

Hi, do you think these 1387 applications also include those with temporary file numbers?
1387 is mentioned in immigration categories so it should be a PR application. WP is mentioned below - 73,177. I don't know how our WP application is also assessed and screened.
I wonder how many officers might be involved to review the application or AI is used to screen these applications and raise questions and push it to the next stage of assessment.
PR application should be getting processed centrally so at least a team of 3-4 people would be there if you do the math (30 months and 1400 applications and no of working days) and see the priority at which we assessed. If this is the team size then depending on the complexity of our applications we will have to wait 30 months

He means if they count temporary numbers. Most people received only temporary numbers last January

In my belief "yes", it should be all as it mentions "# of the application as of Oct 2021". The reason for my understanding is that in a response to a webform they acknowledged the receipt of the PR application and we have a temp number. Also if one has filed GCMS notes, they do include your PR file reference then your file would be included in this count.
Unfortunately, there is no transparency on this topic and it is subject to interpretation. Being optimistic that we are in this count. Another article that makes a reference about the total number of applications :
160 applications in 2015 to 1,173 applications in 2019, before dipping to 719 in 2020 received by IRCC. Given that only a fraction of the application received pre-pandemic - would be left for evaluation and major ones received now (again an assumption).

Hi,
IRCC uses technology and AI to process documents on many stages recently, but not done manually by officers as your assumption
. So, as you can see, many ADR, AOR, PPR requests, eCorp, etc. were sent 24/7.
Cheers.
I have a concern that how do you know the process will be speeded up if reaching 1000 signatures?
If reaching 1000 signatures, next step will proceed. I believe they will forward their concerns to the responsible personnel
Yes, it is theoretically. However, there are no case studies showing it has worked (or please show me a case, if I am lack knowledge), as well as no organization representing this web giving their commitment to making it work. All are word of mouths and this web collects our information.
