Support for existing Start-Up Visa applicants and Canadian business implementation
Canada’s federal Start-Up Visa Program is currently paused to new permanent residence applications. Synova does not market it as an open route for new applicants.
We continue to support eligible existing clients and founders with the operational and immigration work that may remain after the Letter of Support or PR application stage.
How we approach Start-Up Visa — Existing Applicants
Most applications are lost long before submission — in the strategy, the timing and the evidence. We start by understanding your situation in full, then decide whether Start-Up Visa — Existing Applicants is genuinely the strongest route for you, or whether another Canadian pathway fits better.
From there the work is practical: confirming eligibility, building the file, preparing you for what officers will question, and keeping the strategy consistent from first assessment to final decision. You always know where your file stands and what happens next.
Because our team also works in business consulting, entrepreneurs and professionals get advice that considers the commercial and career side of the move, not only the immigration forms.
