Has anyone tried or heard of friends/colleagues going through Canada's start up visa program?
I have 10 yoe in ML, have several interesting vision related start up ideas and want to pursue one of them. I have decent experience, network and financial support but still on H1b for next 17 years, so will have to move out. I have potential co-founders who're on green card and will be citizen soon, so basing the company in US is not a problem.
I'm exploring applying to Canada startup visa program and relocating to Vancouver. Curious to know if anyone has tried this before.
Want to see the real deal?

It's to do a startup which I legally can't do while remaining in US.
If the startup fails and I have no intention of trying again, then I'll come back to US on H1b which will be cap exempt due to approved I140.
EE make take a few more months to open up so just keep all your documents ready
I'm planning to do my own startup in computer vision space, currently exploring several ideas. Planning to build a prototype, try to get some customers, talk to Bay area investors to validate the idea while I'm here before moving to Canada.
