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
Ms Lee (pseudonym), Taichung, registered nurse, husband and two children. She wanted to use her nursing experience to move the family to Canada.
Main concern
She worried people without a technical background would struggle to pass the incubator’s assessment.
Our approach
We designed a health-tech app for nursing rosters and elderly-care records; our in-house developers built the prototype, and we helped her prepare for IELTS 5.
Process and outcome
She secured a letter of support, applied, and received permanent residence in about 18 months; the family settled in Calgary.
Adviser’s comment
Her healthcare background made the project more convincing — you don’t need a technical background to apply.
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.
