the thing i don't understand is that immigration during harper years was easier than now!As @Ayanna and someone posting internal correspondence, the Liberal gvt has changed the requirements for approval because they want to say they have met their target for 400k PRs this year. You no longer have to meet the more stringent definitions for H&C and asylum that you would have just months ago. It unfortunately will create legal precedents and undermine things like asylum programs going forward if you no longer follow the UN requirements for asylum seekers. Normally it would be very difficult to get H&C approval given this profile but timing is everything. The fact that the person processing the case was so focused on employment is because Canada is trying to boost the labour force due to labour shortages at the moment due to lack of immigration from abroad. As @Max019283 indicated they were very concerned about her lack of employment history.

I know it was the Conservatives who created express entry, but before 2015 the immigration programs were very simple.
immigration currently with the liberals is more difficult in my opinion compared to the period between 2000 and 2015 even if they accept more people than before.
