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 Cheng (pseudonym), Taichung, wife and three children. He had already applied for the Start-up Visa.
Main concern
IRCC asked for more evidence of settlement funds, and his money was spread across several accounts.
Our approach
We gathered freely available funds meeting the requirement for a family of five, with an official bank letter stating the balance and average balance.
Process and outcome
Processing continued after the reply, and the family later received permanent residence.
Adviser’s comment
Settlement funds must be personal funds available immediately — consolidate them early and keep records.
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.
