Processing time for work permit and PR visa
Processing Time
The issuance of the commitment letter or letter of support typically takes between 4 to 6 months upon submission of a viable business proposal by the entrepreneur. Upon receiving this letter, candidates are eligible to apply for permanent residence. The processing time for permanent residence is estimated to be around 18 months.
Unlike other programs, the startup permit program does not mandate applicants to invest their personal funds into the business. This initiative serves as a pathway to permanent residence for immigration candidates aspiring to become entrepreneurs.
