Those who had an h&c application in process, and then later filed refugee application.. does the refugee application nullify the h&c application ? Mine has been there for 12months and i was also asked to do biometrics a couple of months into the h&c process. I will have a refugee hearing later may be this year. If the h&c processing time comes, and they decide to provide aip, will they give me a chance to withdraw the refugee claim ? Or will they return the application ? I don't understand why they haven't returned it yet. I am worried if they play ping pong and i get to deal with it. Both claims are genuine but i don't trust the government anymore given the latest anti-immigration stance they are choosing to portray including just yesterday in Mississauga.
