Don’t Wait Until It’s Too Late
Building a startup from scratch is exciting—but also overwhelming. Between market research, product development, and customer outreach, it’s easy to get lost in the weeds.
That’s where a business incubator like Start-up Roadway becomes your secret weapon.
We’re not a designated organization under IRCC (yet), so we don’t issue Letters of Support (LOS). But if you already have your LOS or are starting a business in Canada and need real traction—this is the time to come to us.
When Should You Join Start-up Roadway?
1. Right After Receiving a Letter of Support (LOS)
If you’re applying for permanent residency under the Start-up Visa (SUV) Program, your LOS is just the beginning. IRCC expects to see real business progress, not just a concept on paper.
At Start-up Roadway, we help you:
- Create and document post-LOS activities
- Develop your MVP (Minimum Viable Product)
- Craft detailed IRCC progress reports
- Launch marketing and branding efforts
- Find mentors and technical advisors
💡 Why It Matters: A strong, detailed post-LOS report increases your credibility with IRCC and strengthens your PR application.
2. During MVP Development or Early Operations
Even if you’re not part of the SUV program, you might be:
- A newcomer in Canada launching a start-up
- An international founder with a company incorporated here
- A business owner looking to scale with limited support
We help founders in early stages:
- Validate ideas and define their business model
- Build a roadmap for product and service development
- Create investor-ready pitch decks
- Explore market entry and branding strategies
If you’re trying to get out of the “just brainstorming” phase—this is when we can help you build momentum.
3. When You Need to Show Progress
Some founders get stuck after their LOS or incorporation. Months pass, and little progress is made. That’s a red flag for immigration officers, investors, and partners.
We’ll help you:
- Set clear timelines and milestones
- Track your work to match IRCC’s expectations
- Refine your marketing and operations
- Understand and explore local licensing (especially in industries like health and education)
Our post-LOS activity support packages are tailored to help you stay compliant, consistent, and credible.
Why This Matters
Start-up Roadway isn’t just a co-working space or a general-purpose incubator. We’re built to support international founders and early-stage companies in Canada who need:
- Real traction
- Local market understanding
- Post-LOS guidance
- Business development with immigration compliance in mind
IRCC officers are paying more attention to what SUV applicants do after their LOS. If you haven’t documented or shown progress, you’re at risk—even if your business idea is great.
What We Can and Can’t Do
We can’t:
- Issue Letters of Support
- Guarantee PR approvals
- Represent you before IRCC
But we can:
- Help you build a real, functioning business
- Offer support with MVPs, websites, branding, and marketing
- Guide your post-LOS activities and documentation
- Connect you with advisors and technical talent
- Help you scale your idea into a viable venture
