Hey guys,

I'm looking for opinion from people that went through the Express Entry and/or H&C.

I got an invitation to apply(Express Entry) and a few weeks later (while waiting for my new passport to arrive) i got an email from my other application (which is the H&C application) where they are requesting the medical exam. Now i have until April 22, 2019 to apply through Express Entry and i have no idea what to do. I know the best thing to do is to go forward with both applications, but each application fee is 550$(x2=1100$)plus the medical exam which is 400$ plus another 500$ for the pr card. And it all comes to around 3 grand. So, i'm trying to get opinions from people that went though the whole express entry and/or H&C process to see how long they waited for their PR after being invited. Because for the H&C application they don't give out the timeline on how long it takes after you send all your medicals in. Which one do you think would be faster? Any and all opinions are appreciated!

Thanks!!

p.s. i live in Edmonton

Express Entry - faster and better chances.

H&C approval rates are extremely low.

H&C approval rates are extremely low.

Even though they asked me for my medical?

 

[Buletruck]

Yup. And probably a statistically better chance of being approved too.

A medical request does not mean your chance for H&C is better. It’s procedural.

 

[samiomar]

Yup. And probably a statistically better chance of being approved too.

hi
I have applied for H&R application on February 2018. Since then l didn’t hear anything until march 2019 they send me this letter below asking to submit my medical exam and police clearance and passport and pay for the right for PR.
I’m really confused because l didn’t receive the first approval like l saw before is this normal?
Is this considered as an approval or what?
Thanks guys


This refers to your application for permanent residence from within Canada on humanitarian and compassionate grounds.
Your application remains in queue to be reviewed by an Immigration Officer who will decide whether or not to grant your request for exemption(s) from certain legislative requirements to allow processing of your application for permanent residence from within Canada.
While a decision has not yet been taken on your request for exemption(s), we are writing today to request that you submit documentation and undergo screening related to your admissibility requirements (and those of your dependent family members). Admissibility relates to medical, criminality, security, financial and identity assessments of each potential immigrant and their family members.
When a decision is made on your request for exemption(s), you will be informed. If the decision is to grant the requested exemption(s), at that time IRCC will again request the documents and examinations listed below if they are not already submitted. At that time the missing submissions will be what is delaying the finalization of your application.
By submitting these requested documents now, before an officer’s decision, you have the potential to speed up the finalization of your application and granting of permanent residence to you (and the family members included) should your request for an exemption(s) be approved.
MEDICAL EXAMINATION
A medical examination will be required from you (and any family member that has been included in your application, whether accompanying or not) before your application for permanent residence can be finalized. The medical form has been sent to you in a separate email. Please note that Immigration Health Services (RNH) will only accept an immigration medical performed by one of the designated medical practitioners listed

This is not an approval. You have to do what they ask before they even assess if you will be approved or not.

I have one question, how I can get a letter from MP. Most of the people here are adding MP letter for H&C. I am also preparing my documents for h&c but I really wants to know how to get letter from MP

No need. What is most important is letters from community members that you have actually interacted with. An MP letter likely carries little weight unless you have been involved with the MP in your community.

Income is important but not the only deciding factor. 48K is not a lot of money to raise a large family plus you may owe personal taxes. Have you filed your business taxes? Autistic children usually need more therapy than is provided. In the case of Ontario the parents need to cover the majority of expenses. You should be really filing you taxes especially since you are applying for H&C. How are you going to prove your income.
