Why applicants need to get Letters of Support 

The Letter of Support is a mandatory requirement for start-ups seeking to participate in the SUV program. Designated organizations, such as venture capital funds, angel investor groups, and business incubators, are entrusted by the Canadian government to validate start-up business ideas and their potential for success. Acquiring a Letter of Support offers several key benefits:

1. Validation of the business idea: The letter confirms that experienced investors or business incubators have thoroughly evaluated and endorsed the start-up’s innovative and promising business idea, reducing the risk of granting Permanent Residency (PR) to entrepreneurs with potentially unsuccessful ventures.
2. Expert assessment:  Designated organizations possess the expertise to evaluate a start-up’s potential in terms of market opportunity, competitive advantage, and scalability, providing invaluable insight into its prospects and the entrepreneurs’ capabilities.
3. Commitment to the start-up: The Letter of Support demonstrates that the designated organization (Venture capital fund, Angel investor group, or Business incubator) believes in the start-up and is prepared to invest time and resources to facilitate its growth in Canada, thus increasing its chances of success and contribution to the Canadian economy.
4. Mentorship and guidance: Designated organizations frequently offer mentorship, resources, and networking opportunities to the start-ups they support, especially from Venture Capital or Angel investor group, which can be particularly beneficial to entrepreneurs new to Canada and its local business environment.

Furthermore, the Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) latest announcement about the Canada start-up visa, points out that IRCC will prioritize applications based on factors such as committed capital or endorsements from trusted partners.

Applications supported by venture capital, angel investor groups, and business incubators with committed capital will be prioritized, as well as those backed by business incubators that are members of Canada’s Tech Network.

The IRCC will be closely examining whether applicants have been nominated by a designated incubator that’s part of this new program and limits the number of new candidates that certain designated entities can put forward. This approach aims to reduce pressure on the system and provide more reliable timelines moving forward.
