Hey Guys how are you? I applied for H&C in February got AOR and no up date since February 2022, even I don’t know if my application is in process or not …

I live in Vancouver , if I want to go to Seattle by car for example, it will be a problem? I have work permit, usa visa… I mean I am asking because I’m under H&C process…

TIA

We had no problems traveling with HC in process until we got removal order. Travel is a problem if you apply for PRRA at the same time and/or if you have removal order. HC is just another PR stream. If you have work permit that enables you multiple entries into Canada and your passport is not about to expire, no issues. Especially by car. They do not even need PR card when you cross the border upon return for permanent residents - just COPR will be enough. Enjoy your trip.

p.s: if one of your HC arguments is that your life is in danger if you go back home, then of course travel home is not recommended until you sort out your case. One of our apps was refused because my partner spent 6 months back home so agent wrote "if he can survive 6 months there, he can move permanently too". But short trip to a"neutral" country is not a problem.

It may be, if you have a mean agent like me and @grahs1994 - our HC agents sent refusal letters directly to CBSA which triggered removal interview. But it may not be related to HC. Just go for your scheduled time and tell them your HC is in process and you would really appreciate it if they let you wait for result. Good luck!
