Example of a recent judicial review where parents H&C was denied. Filing for H&C for parent(s) can come with significant longterm consequences if denied. Please think very hard before going down this route.

This is not even relatively similar to said person's situation. Initially they came to Canada economically, along with a minor child that went through the Canadian school system. As I said, not all "parents" have the same situation.

Never said it were the same. Does show that a long period of time spent in Canada does not guarantee you can remain. In many instances your original intention or permit is not relevant to what your status is today if you have status. Many are under the false impression that the longer the time spent in Canada the easier it will be to secure H&C. That IRCC wouldn’t make parents return home after 5+ years in Canada. This is a cautionary tale that people need to be making a care plan in their parents in their home country and not view visits on a supervisa as a permanent move. The length of visit on a supervisa and the previous ability to extend visits easily has lead to a lot of confusion.
 
Hello everyone. Does anyone know what is the difference if your primary office Niagara falls or your secondary office Niagara falls?

Thank you for your advice and sharing of judicial reviews. We were very cautious about submitting a H&C application but due to the overall circumstances and evidence we have to submit, we are very confident that we will, receive a positive decision. We are also prepared for a negative one. I will let you know the outcome.
 
Jesus! Way to dampen a sweet moment.
A simple congratulations would suffice.
I'm not surprised, @canuck78 has always been like that.
I started following this forum at the end of 2020, and back then I understood how Canuck thought. At the time, he was saying that the pandemic would have almost disastrous effects on H&C applications, especially regarding processing times.
It later turned out that the processing times were fairly normal, and even short for many applicants. After that, Canuck’s argument shifted to the conflict in Afghanistan and then Ukraine, saying those events would also have a very negative impact.
He has always been very critical of H&C applications, because in his view, it's a method used by people who don’t deserve permanent residency to obtain it and stay here.
But in life, you have to think in a nuanced way and not generalize. One can become a permanent resident for humanitarian reasons, or through being granted protection by Canada, or by being sponsored by a close relative while still being loyal, respectful, civilized, and ambitious unlike tens of thousands of so-called skilled workers who came through programs that, strangely enough, accept even more people than before 2015, but with increasingly difficult and complex criteria.
That being said, although I disagree with Canuck because he is rather pessimistic with members, he remains someone who genuinely loves Canada and cares about its situation, and who speaks respectfully and still has some valuable knowledge about immigration (not like a lot of people here...) even if he’s not an expert.
Many VIP members, on the other hand, are extremely arrogant, and you can sense malice and cruelty in their comments, as well as the spreading of false information.
