Hi, everyone in this Forum
I'm also having an issue with the automated telephone service IRCC.
Previously, when I called, the system would say "background is in process" before transferring me to a customer specialist. Now, it doesn't say anything — it just transfers me directly. After that, I’m left waiting, but no one answers. I eventually have to hang up.
Can you please let me know what this means, and if this has happened before?
Thank you.

When you hear this message, that means decision has been made on your application. This decision could be eCOPR, or any other decision, including return of the application.

My H&C application was refused.

My lawyer says to appeal first, then check the notes and decide what to do next. But the lawyer is charging a lot, so I'm thinking of changing lawyers.

Should I appeal or apply for H&C again?

If I appeal, how long does it take to get a result? And if the appeal is refused, can I still apply again for H&C?

I'm shocked by the refusal. I put everything into that application.

Sorry to hear that. I would suggest working with lawyer and file for judicial review to stop removal order. At the same time, you may submit another H and C application. Unfortunately, this H and C program does not make any sense these days, strong cases invloving best interests of children are refused and weak cases involving parents/siblings are approved. This will utlimately result in a large number of cases at federal courts.

Still can be removed. You can try to have your removal put on hold until you receive the outcome of JR. The quotas are now incredibly small and IRCC had become very generous when it came to H&C approvals.. The H&C program became much less about rare exceptional cases and more of a default program for anyone who was refused from other programs like asylum. People were even able to apply for H&C multiple times and even though they kept on being refused IRCC/CBSA never took any action. IRCC has now started to verify information and look for inconsistencies as well in all forms of PR applications as well as enforcing removal orders. In general immigration is being tightened in Canada and Canada tries to reduce the volume or temporary residents and yearly PR approvals.

JRs in general are expensive to file because it takes quite a lot of time to put together. You need to have a conversation with your lawyer about reason for refusal and chances of JR approval. Also realistic chances of obtaining PR via H&C. Returning home and working towards PR from abroad may be a more realistic way to obtain PR. Tough to say without knowing your case which is why your lawyer may be the best person to consult.
