VietnamBackground
Ms Lee, a registered nurse in Taichung, applied with her 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.
