The program had a small annual quota and a backlog that grew to tens of thousands of cases, pushing processing times to several years, so IRCC stopped new intake to clear it.
The Self-Employed Persons Program shared a limited number of spots and accumulated a very large inventory of pending applications, with processing times stretching well beyond what applicants could reasonably plan around. To regain control, IRCC reduced new intake to zero.
Pausing intake lets IRCC work down the existing backlog and design a more focused successor program. The government has indicated a new pilot aimed at immigrant entrepreneurs is being prepared, so the long-term route for self-employed applicants is expected to change rather than simply reopen.
