 1. What is the Start-Up Visa Open Work Permit?

The Start-Up Visa Open Work Permit allows entrepreneurs who have applied under the SUV program to work in Canada for up to three years. This permit provides flexibility, enabling holders to work for any employer rather than being restricted to their own startup.

 2. Who is eligible for the Open Work Permit?

Eligibility for the open work permit includes:

- Having a valid Commitment Certificate from a designated organization (venture capital fund, angel investor group, or business incubator).

- Being actively engaged in managing your business in Canada.

- Submitting your application while your permanent residence application is in process.

 3. What are the benefits of the three-year open work permit?

- Flexibility: Holders can work for any employer, allowing them to gain diverse experience and income while establishing their business.

- Family Inclusion: Spouses of applicants can also apply for three-year open work permits, and dependent children can obtain study permits for the same duration.

- Longer Duration: The three-year timeline reduces the pressure of frequent renewals, enabling better long-term planning.

 4. How do I apply for the Open Work Permit?

To apply for the open work permit under the SUV program:

- Ensure you have a Commitment Certificate from a designated organization.

- Complete the application form (IMM 1295) and include necessary documents such as proof of funds and your business plan.

- Submit your application online through the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) portal.

 5. Can I work while waiting for my Start-Up Visa application to be approved?

Yes, you can apply for a short-term work permit under the SUV category while your Start-Up Visa application is being processed. This allows you to start working on your business immediately.

 6. What are the processing times for the Open Work Permit?

Processing times can vary based on several factors, including application volume and completeness. Generally, applicants should expect processing to take several months, but priority processing may be available for applications backed by Canadian capital or affiliated with Canada’s Tech Network.

 7. Do my family members need to apply separately for their permits?

Yes, your spouse and dependent children must apply separately for their respective work or study permits. They will need to meet specific requirements, including medical exams and proof of funds.

 8. What happens if my business fails during the permit duration?

If your business does not succeed, it may impact your ability to transition from a temporary status to permanent residency. However, as long as you maintain compliance with your permit conditions and continue seeking opportunities in Canada, you can explore other immigration pathways.

 9. Are there any restrictions on my spouse's employment?

Your spouse can obtain an open work permit valid for three years, allowing them to seek employment without restrictions related to specific job types, as long as they adhere to Canadian employment laws.

 10. What are the next steps after obtaining my Open Work Permit?

Once you receive your open work permit, you can begin working immediately while focusing on establishing your startup. Ensure that you stay compliant with all conditions of your permit and continue working towards your permanent residency application.

 11. What are the implications of the new cap on applications?

Starting April 30, 2024, there will be a cap limiting applications to 10 startups per designated organization per year, resulting in approximately 820 applications annually across all designated organizations. This change aims to improve processing times and enhance application quality by reducing backlog issues.

 12. How does priority processing work?

Entrepreneurs whose startups are supported by Canadian capital or affiliated with members of Canada’s Tech Network will receive priority processing. This initiative helps expedite applications that have strong backing from established Canadian entities.
