RESPONSE: When it comes to the validity of a letter of support for a work permit under the Start-Up Visa (SUV) program of support, the document only needs to be valid when the applicant submitted their SUV permanent resident application. Since applicants must apply for PR prior to submitting their work permit application, they may still apply for their work permit after the expiry date indicated on the letter of support. Information to this effect can be found in our Program Delivery Instruction, available here.

[requester] seeking clarification on whether a valid Letter of Support (LOS) is required when applying for a work permit extension under the Start-Up Visa (SUV) program. It is understood that a valid LOS is necessary at the time of submitting the permanent residence application and the initial work permit. However, it is unclear whether this requirement extends to work permit extensions. Could you please confirm whether an LOS must be submitted when applying for a work permit extension under the SUV program? Your guidance on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time and assistance. I look forward to your response. : [NAME REDACTED] 02201
