many people for exemple they apply for h&c but they aren’t inadmissible is this better for them or not?
I just ask because I want to become consultant :)
I already got AIP
HC route is normally used by inadmissible people with establishment in Canada as a last resort to remain in Canada. We sometimes see people who do not have inadmissibility issues applying under this stream: I remember a few people here who got AIP while being on a tourist visa. It is difficult, but not impossible. Each case is unique and each immigration officer has a different threshold for compassion. You would not know the outcome until you try. If however one can find a more mainstream route (family sponsorship, post-study permits), it is much better. Shorter processing and less dependance on the mood/charachter of your officer.

Assessment based on laws, practices ,data available and outcome of applications. I fully agree. It is better to exhaust available normal routes of immigration, otherwise the officer refers available options and refuses. I applied on line June 2021 as other options were difficult to avail.

Yes I do! I paid the 5$, thanks! ;)

I called Service Canadá today, as I’m still worried about my documents & medical exam. Finally, They confirmed that they got all my documents and my medical in July, they are pending to change my ECAS. Hopefully I’m a little bit closer ;)

As I got approved in Toronto, my AIP letter is coming from there without officer assigned from Niagara. They mention to send all the documents to Niagara. As you know, my case is different to most of the people, that’s why Toronto May decided this.

all the best ;)

good luck Jaxico. Did you manage to request GCMS?
Sorry to bother you once again, regarding your response to my question about addressing the question :
clearly indicate in your application the specific exemption(s( you are requesting
Provide all details related to this request, including the reasons why you should be granted exemption on h&c ground.


This is the link you posted to answer my question.(https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/operational-bulletins-manuals/temporary-residents/visitors/refusals-overview.html)

You said recommended this exemption as "non-compliance with the Act" since you said it is applicable to my situation. When I look at the website again, I notice is it is titled: Temporary residents: Refusals overview.

When looked at this link tilted: Humanitarian and compassionate: Dealing with inadmissibility( https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/operational-bulletins-manuals/permanent-residence/humanitarian-compassionate-consideration/processing/dealing-with-inadmissibility.html).




Correct me if I am wrong, It seems the first link is for "Temporary resident(TR) " while the second link is mainly for H&C application....I pointed this out because I notice that the list of inadmissibility is different. There are about 9 listed for TR for while there are ONLY 3 listed for h&c......Remember I told you the lawyer use wrote financial and medical as my exemption. To be honest, I did not understand how she arrives at this exemption. maybe it is because it is closer to my situation is why she use it. I don't know

I will appreciate it if you can take a look at both links... do you notice any difference? Would you still insist that "non-compliance with the Act" for TR is applicable for my h&c application?

I will also appreciate other people in the forum contribute their knowledge to my question

Thanks
