Many people went on the Canadian Immigration site and see the processing time for Start Up Visa Program being 24-48 months or heard from some immigration agents and decide this program is not the right one for them due to long waiting time, but is it always this case?
The reality is, there are many variables that could affect the processing time, SUV program is actually a flexible program that can be fast or slow based on different setups and situations. Below are some factors that can affect an application’s processing speed.
- Business Incubator track record : If the business incubator that you obtain your Letter of Support from had a track record of their applicants being rejected then IRCC will spend more time reviewing your case and thus delaying the process
- Priority processing : Certain Business Incubators are qualified for priority processing, applicants who apply using Letter of Support issued by those Incubators can obtain their PR as quick as within a year.
- Applicant personal factors : Did the applicants apply for work permit to land in Canada during the waiting period? Did the applicant provide sufficient proof of funds? A lot of personal reasons can affect the speed of the approval of the application.
The conclusion? Do not just listen to a random immigration consultant who don’t know how to do SUV program properly to sway you away from the program, consult experts and let them know about your personal background and let them analyse for you.
