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

@Ayanna, is it risky if MP office help make enquiry on status of applications?

Many people say MP helped them a lot because they can find out more details about your status (there is a special phone line for MPs) and also write you a letter of support. Unfortunately, did not help much in our case. My partner's 2nd HC was still refused despite a beautiful support letter from MP who is also a federal minister. The Montreal immigration officer dismissed all his references and wrote "because they are new to Canada". MP and federal minister new to Canada?! Hmmmm

And the info provided to MP was also incorrect - they told her file was in process while it had been already rejected 6 months prior to that.

I would say GCMS notes is the only reliable method to see what is going on there.

You can just call and ask for status if it stresses you out. My partner called and he was told he passed all checks (med, security and criminality). He feels much better now.

Thanks @Katayoon .
But how credible is the call centre information? Also, what is the special phone line of MPs

Stage 1 - Approval in principle
Stage 2 - submit medicals, police certificates and documents demonstrating how you support yourself financially (sometimes they ask for this in Stage 1)

If approved: Certificate of permanent residence by email and PR card by mail.

Only MPs have the number. That's why it is for MPs only
Call center agents differ in experience substantially. Some of them provide accurate info, others provide completely innacurate info. It's a hit or miss.

Thanks, Applied June 1, 2021 on line, biometric request 10 June, what next ? Regards

Online? I thought HC can only be filed by paper...
Next is a letter - either your file will be approved for Stage 2 processing or refused.

Is there anyone still waiting on stage 1 approval. July 27 is going to make 1 year and am worried if i will get refused

Hey Guys,
My wife got express entry invitation then just 5 min before we submit everything and pay all the fees… I got AIP!!
So we did the medical exam a month ago for the EE. H&C is asking about this now, do you think about it’s an issue that we did it before they asked? One month earlier, I know about it’s valid for a year.
It’s a strange situation.
Thank you

as long as your medical result is valid it is not necessary to do a medical visit for second time according to my information.

It's normal. I am waiting 2 years. It depends on the officer you received.
