Canada’s Startup Visa Programme (SUV) now limits permanent residence (PR) applications to 10 startups per designated organization, effective April 30, announced by Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). This change aims to expedite processing times and tackle growing backlogs, impacting aspiring entrepreneurs globally. Priority processing is granted to startups linked with Canadian capital or Tech Network. While the move targets sustainable processing, IRCC also announced a pause on the Self-Employed Persons Programme from the same date. SUV facilitates foreign entrepreneurs with support from designated venture capital funds, angel investor groups, or business incubators, prioritizing applications with Canadian investment. This initiative aims to foster local entrepreneurship and economic growth in Canada.
