Currently, a massive volume of Start-Up Visa (SUV) cases are teetering on the edge of rejection.
In the past, a flawless business concept might have been enough to secure an approval. However, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) officers are no longer satisfied with just “plans.” They now demand proof of the “process”:
- Innovation Development & Prototyping: Tangible evidence of R&D.
- Product or App Construction: Actual building and testing of the technology.
- Intellectual Property: Progress in patent filings or IP protection.
- Authentic & Sustained Business Operations: Evidence that the startup is a living, breathing entity.
IRCC now requires proof that these milestones have been substantially advanced. When an Additional Document Request (ADR) arrives, “cramming” for progress at the last minute is mission impossible. If a project has stagnated, it exposes the entire founding team to the risk of a collective refusal.
