This is an illustrative scenario: the people and details are for explanation only and are not a real client case. Every family’s outcome depends on its background and the policies in force at the time.
Background
Mr Wu (pseudonym), Taipei, software engineer, wife and two children. With a technical background, he wanted the whole family to move to Canada.
Main concern
He had no entrepreneurial experience and worried his English was not good enough.
Our approach
We designed an education-technology platform around his background; our in-house developers built an app prototype, we prepared the business plan and pitch materials, and he prepared for IELTS to reach IELTS 5.
Process and outcome
After securing an incubator’s letter of support he applied, and received permanent residence in about 18 months; his wife and children landed with him in Toronto.
Adviser’s comment
A technical background plus a clear prototype makes a strong case for incubator support.
SUV application process
- Assessment and business direction (1–2 weeks): We choose a business direction that suits your background.
- Business plan and prototype (1–3 months): We write the business plan and pitch deck, and our in-house developers build a website or app prototype.
- Incubator and letter of support (Per the incubator’s timeline): Join a designated incubator and obtain the letter of support — with a full refund if it cannot be obtained.
- Permanent residence application (Previously about 18 months): File the permanent residence application with the letter of support; applicants already in Canada on an SUV work permit are now processed first.
