I did not have any printed articles, but I pulled key development indicators like Corruption Index and talked about them in the cover letter, giving links to online reports in footnotes.

both 1 and 2 are OK.

if the articles are very long, you can reference paragraphs, yes. Overall, I would not stress over this piece - it is not a key argument. My partner had plenty of articles in his first two HCs and both got refused. So in his 3rd HC I did not bother with articles.
ok..sounds good...Thanks for the response !

Please @ Blexo don’t withdraw your judicial review. CBSA will start looking for u immediately. Both your H&C application and judicial review on failed refugee claim can run concurrently. Don’t expose urself to CBSA officers. Just relax
Not encouraging dropping JR but they are no longer running JR and H&C concurrently. H&C is essentially on hold until JR results.

I put in my H&C and Judicial review of my failed refugee claim same time last year. I got AIP on my H&C February 6 this year before they stopped my judicial review application. The Judicial review in the system still gives the applicant a status and stopping it by the applicant means the applicant likes to be out of status and encourage cbsa to start disturbing. It’s better to wait and let the federal appeal court take its decision. The longer the H&C stays before moving to ‘in process’ the better the chances of getting approved.

Looks like one of the changes that have been made to streamline applications and get results faster is to not process H&C until JR has been refused. Makes sense not to waste resources processing 2 applications concurrently. If you have applied for JR and have H&C in process your time in process doesn’t mean that you have a better chance of getting approved because your application has been put on hold. You can’t compare wait times to wait times of applicants who only have H&Cs. Your application has been put to one side until a response from JR.

Hi guys I just wanna ask on behalf of my friend. She has common law back home and she will lodge her application for H & C, is the common law required also to submit Generic Application Form and Schedule A Background Application Form ? Even if they are outside Canada ?

thank you
Yes he will need to submit all the documents together with her in the same application.
