    H&C Humanitarian Ground with/or Without Failed refugee claim

    It is so interesting you mention Germany, it is actually one of the hardest counties to permanently immigrate to. To get PR you need to have three years of full-time experience in a highly skilled profession (they have a limited list: mostly engineers, doctors, IT, nurses and teachers) and pass...

    H&C Humanitarian Ground with/or Without Failed refugee claim

    I was quoting two different decisions, not one case, and it is just from the last couple of days, but there are more published if you look through each.

    H&C Humanitarian Ground with/or Without Failed refugee claim

    A quote from the federal court decision from literally last week to uphold deportation of someone with 2 Canadian children: “I am not satisfied that he has presented clear, convincing evidence that irreparable harm will be caused to his two Canadian-born children upon his removal. Also, however...

    H&C Humanitarian Ground with/or Without Failed refugee claim

    Parliament does not work during summer, last day of work was June 20, it will re-open on September 15, 2025. Overall, parliament works only 73 days in a year. Also, the bill does give IRCC full powers to cancel applications retroactively even after AOR, even already issued PR cards. They claim...

    H&C Humanitarian Ground with/or Without Failed refugee claim

    It also seems like they will end up passing the new immigration bill in September, where all refugee claims made after 1 year of being in Canada will be retroactively cancelled, back to claims made in 2020 and beyond. I imagine a lot of these people whose applications will be returned would end...

    H&C Humanitarian Ground with/or Without Failed refugee claim

    It might have been the case in the past where officers would not proceed with deportation, but I keep a close eye on court decisions and there are more and more decisions where judges reject appeals on not granting a visa/WP due to an active H&C application and reject deferral of deportation...

    H&C Humanitarian Ground with/or Without Failed refugee claim

    Yup, especially with projected 20+ years on IRCC website to process all existing H&C applications. Some people will die before they will get PR through this program. But what else to expect when there are 78,000 active applications with a quota of 6,800 next year and 4,300 year after that...

    H&C Humanitarian Ground with/or Without Failed refugee claim

    I don’t think you’re allowed to apply for H&C from abroad. Establishment in Canada is a significant factor for the application. Do you have a long history of living in Canada and just abroad for a short trip right now?

    The initial approval 2-3 years (Approval in Principle), and 1-2 years for the actual final decision and PR card after that.

    H&C Humanitarian Ground with/or Without Failed refugee claim

    Not months, several years. At least 2 or 3 years for stage 1 approval, although this might look more like 3+ years at this point.

    H&C Humanitarian Ground with/or Without Failed refugee claim

    You cannot have asylum claim while having an application under humanitarian grounds. Also, they are changing the rules where you can only claim asylum within the first year of arriving to Canada, and it sounds like you have been here longer. If you are not sure about the legal framework of...

    H&C Humanitarian Ground with/or Without Failed refugee claim

    H&C does not give you any implied immigration status, nor it can prevent you from deportation You are eligible for work permit after you get Approval In Principle, but it takes about 20-24 months right now to get to that stage, so you are responsible for ensuring you maintain your status...
