Recent federal court ruling on a Start-Up Visa application demonstrated a key fact that was not obvious to a lot of applicants and immigration consultants/ lawyers: Start-Up Visa is not a passive investment program. The government is looking for genuine business activity and achievement of tangible milestone by the business in order for the applicant to be granted with a Permanent Residency. As we put it simply: a lot of firms’ mindset that put immigration first, Start-Up second does not work.

This new ruling makes it clear that a one-time fee payment to business consultants and designated entities for obtainment of the Letter of Support was never intended to work.
