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

[wello711]

I don't understand something.
when the officer opened the file, checked the documents and sent AOR, a letter for the biometric data or letter for medical exam, that means he started processing and working n the file, right ?
so the word in process on ecas is not really true? because some people received letters from officer for biometrics for exemple even if they don't have ( in process ) in ecas account.
@Ayanna do you have any idea please ?

when you send your application to Vancouver office the application received by office when sent you Aor they will make sure your application is complete the open application see if you need a medical exam or biometric
The officer make sure you don’t miss anything otherwise they will refuse your application then your application will pass to H&c officer this is how the process is going to start
When you check your application on ecas
You will see a message we start processing your application

The "in process" is very inconsistent and unreliable. My partner's file remained in process for 1 year after his officer had already rejected it. The system showed in process while she has already made her decision a year before that. Thankfully, the GCMS notes showed that.

Hello @Ramone1

They don't frequently update the Ecas, so most of the time you get your Aip in the mail , and it takes like 3 weeks or more before it's updated.

Same for rejections I think. She wrote in GCMS notes that she mailed her rejection letter for both PRRA and HC, but we never received anything.

His AIP came by e-mail when we applied HC for the 3rd time...

My Ecas was updated today with:
“Medical results have been received.”
Anybody know what’s the next step? approval/rejection? Police check? (H&C).
Thanks for your help

if they have not requested police certificates and proof of financial self-sufficiency yet, this will be next step. For my partner, they asked for these in the same e-mail where they granted Approval In principle (AIP), but the order of things varies from agent to agent and file to file.

Hello I had applied for visitor visa extension and then for H and c last year. It was mentioned in my h and c file that we have applied for extension of visa. Our visa file was transferred to edmonton as it was dependent on h and c decision ( weather the officer will grant medical exemption or not). Now we should get visitor visa extension as we have got Aip.

I think they don't need to apply for extension because they got AIP.
they will receive officaly their PR status soon

We had applied for extension in July 2020 and applied for h and c in August 2020. Hopefully we will receive PR status soon. How long does it take after Aip?

between 1 month and 3 months.
if you will finalize the file quickly, you will have a faster response.
It also depends on the officer how he works.

They are not only working on your case so just have a little patience. As I pointed out there was no need to call about your medical since you had submitted so recently without many days being business days. You have to understand that there can be weeks or even months before the next contact. The next thing is likely a request for more medical information or a change to passed the medical. Although you may feel like this is a slow process, cases are processing extremely fast. You used to hear nothing for the first year and it would take 2-3 years to get an approval/refusal.

Also depends if more information is needed or there are any concerns about finances.
