There are no target for H&C approval. It is based on the cases. There could be a large number of approvals or a large number of denials one year. There has clearly been a new system implemented to process H&C applications faster. The shorter the time in Canada, the less time to establish yourself which is likely one of the reasons for some denials for cases from 2020. When timelines were 2-3 years there was more time to get established, have children, etc. H&C is not purely based on hardship. You can be denied H&C if you come from a 3rd world country. It is a more complex evaluation. The officers are not mean they are following the requirements of their job. H&C is not meant to be a pathway to secure PR for anyone who has failed to secure PR via other means. If that was the case anyone could arrive on a tourist visa and apply for H&C if they wanted to secure PR.honestly i think there are people here looking at our comments who got the aip but they just don't want to tell the public !
we shouldn't forget that the government wants to approve between 5000 and 6000 H&C applications according to their 2021 plan.
many applicants thought that if they lived here for a long time and if they paid taxes so they have a good H&C file but no ! why they didn't try to regulirize their status before ???
some people for exemple said that their kid has health problems but they didn't prove how these problems will affet him if he will leave canada or if he don't have treatment in his home country .
others came from eu country and they want to apply for H&C ! but this is not logical at all because H&C is based on hardship, eu citizens can live in all eu countries with all the rights and privilieges.
some people, had the possibility of obtaining permanent residence through an economic program, they had work and study permits but they simply missed this opportunity for very stupid reasons.
failed asylum seekers who apply for an h&c application with the same arguments or the same proofs that were refused by the RAD, in this case IRCC will just say that all this proofs was already refused when the RAD analyzed the humanitarian aspect of the asylum applicaiton.
others have security and criminality problems that can be very serious and dangerious.
but we must not forget the very mean officers who like to cause sadness and frustration to others.
besides many vip members are like them according to their point of view and their toxic comments.
this is my simple conclusion according to several cases that I have read
