I second scylla's opinion. The volunteer work you've done (thank you by the way!!) could help with the H&C, provided that you have other compelling reasons in that application. It does not make you eligible under the recent public policy.
H&C Humanitarian Ground with/or Without Failed refugee claim

Yes same, I just got my AIP but site went from “In Process” to “Application Received”.
My Timeline:
Application received- Feb 14, 2020
AOR- Feb 21, 2020
AIP- Sept 11, 2020
“Your exemption was granted, in part, due to the hardship you would face if you had to leave Canada and apply from outside of the country as usually required.“
I was a failed refugee claimant with 2 failed appeals. I prepared and gathered a lot of important documents for my h&c application. I’m a single mom and I have a 5 year old canadian citizen by birth.

Hi, may I know what does the letter says for Stage 2 especially about the security check if they ask proof of income, bank statement etc. Thanks
Hi, what did you provide for this? I am working part time and under CERB due to covid.
Do you have a lawyer? I think its best to consult them so they can advice you what to do. I applied for h&c in feb this year and thank God I just got my AIP. I’m also a single mom with a 5 year old canadian citizen. In the AIP letter it says because of the hardship I would face in my country. I was thinking because of best interest of a child but I guess it all depends with the application or situation of the applicant. I sent supporting documents and news articles about the current situation back home so I think that helps with my application.
Yeah, you can be approved for Stage 1 without Biometrics but you still need to provide for Stage 2 for criminal check.
Contrary to Scylla's conclusion without bothering to ask. I am a refugee claimant with a failed refugee still on JR at the same time H and C. I have my work permit and has been paying my tax since 2017 till date. The pathway to PR is for asylum seekers with or without failed refugee claim. My lawyer told me that with my hrs in volunteering work taking care of elders and seniors during the pandemic. And I have all the educational certifications and diploma to work as health care giver. I should qualify. Meanwhile, since I have H and C already submitted, I believe I wouldn't need to pay for PR again and also the pathway to PR has not been opened yet for applicants, I thought if I put in my H and C application the volunteer letter in care giving, plus all my Uber pay stubs from 2018 till date including driving Uber during the peak of pandemic, plus all my tax documents plus documents showing my children involvement in activities like (piano, community programs, member of hockey team with pictures of him playing hockey) pictures of me volunteering in covid 19 community testing centre plus letters of support from up to 4 persons plus other volunteer letters from churches and food banks plus my wives volunteer letter in Toronto public health b4 pandemic plus my wives letter of volunteer work in longterm care b4 pandemic plus my children award certificates from schools as students of the month plus the birth certificate of my new born baby in Canada plus letter of support from my MP plus my new job offer in healthcare and my wife new job offer as psw etc and with a good submission from my lawyer, We should be approved for H and C in the best interest of children and establishment in Canada
Regarding work or on assistance, I think thats for Stage 2. I got my AIP first and it says Stage 2 will be for my medical, criminal and security check.
Maybe he was chosen for the Quality Assurance Program where they randomly chooses applications for a special review that can expedite it.
Yes, that works. I submitted about 20 letters from relatives, friends, landlords, coworkers, my boss and my daughter’s teacher and lots of pictures of my child’s activities or just us, being with friends and relatives showing strong establishment and support from them. Also proof of donations, involvement in the church, certificates of what you have achieved, tax income. I was working 6 days a week as a single mom and not much savings to show but made sure I wont be a burden. Lastly, I wrote a 4-pages letter explaining how my life since I lived here and how grateful I am to still be here. Goodluck, be positive and keep the faith!
Don’t worry about CERB, that is not social assistant. Regarding financial information we send personal and business statements and also our lawyer wrote a letter
Congrats on ur aip.can u please share the kind of article u use concerning hardship back home?
Hi, as for the security what documents/proof did you provide? And how long did you get the letter after the AIP?
[/QUOTE]
Hi
Don't worry about the security part. It is something a third party conducts on behalf of IRCC. The third party is another department within the Government of Canada, and the security cheques are completed behind the scenes at the request of IRCC.
I communicated with an IRCC official at the Ottawa headquarters directly and the clerk sent the medical forms along with a standard letter within an hour after the conversation occurred.
You, as an applicant, play no role in either completing or accelerating the security phase of your application.
