Recent data obtained from Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) through an access to information request for the period 2015-2020 shows that the Start-up Visa program (SUV) has seen impressive growth over the last few years.

The number of SUV applications has steadily grown during this period, climbing from only 160 applications in 2015 to 1,173 applications in 2019, before dipping to 719 in 2020, a decrease likely due to disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
