Humanitarian and compassionate grounds processing time
- Thread starter joannewang016
- Start date
I'm having sleepless nights regarding my application. My application was recieved on the 31st of May,2018. And up till now, it's been 16 months now and its still application recieved. I applied based on medical ground and hardship back home. Also best interest of my child. I actually changed lawyer since my previous lawyer took I'll and couldn't continue and my new lawyer discovered that my date of birth and I I had some mistakes on it which she corrected in April. We also made some updates too. Could all those have influenced the delay in process. On ECAS, Its still Recieved and it bothers me some people who applied after me are already approved. Any information would help me please. Thank you
There is an increased volume of H&C applications due to the influx of asylum claims. Many who have exhausted theor appeal options often file for H&C so the wait times keep getting longer.
Decision made today
Good Afternoon,
The Landing office will be in contact within the next few weeks to arrange an appointment for you to receive your Permanent Residence.
They sent this to me today ..
Anyone know what’s next steps ?
How long takes ?
What they ask when I will be the appointment?
After the appointment I already have the PR CARD ? Like .. can I travel out of the country?

Would someone of the more recent H&C applicants (end of 2018 - start of 2019) be willing to share their timeline?
We applied for my aunt August 2018 and the status is still "application received" (17 months after). Is it a bad sign?
From my analysis of the previous posts it looks like most of the people received AIP at this time. I am also waiting for a new visitor record for her as the previous one expired. Any information from real applicants will be very greatly appreciated.

Applications have gotten icy longer as many of the refused asylum seekers also apply for a H&C. Not hearing doesn’t mean refusal just means not finished assessing yet.
Thanks a lot!
I was expecting (hoping) to at least see the status changed to "in process", in which case I would think they are assessing the file.
Do you know if success of my visitor extension application is somehow connected with the H&C application or these are two separate processes.
I asked to extend taking into consideration the processing time is 31 months which is a bit more than a year from now for us.
Greatly appreciate any thoughts.

They are 2 separate things. If you don’t get approved for the 3xtendion your option is for her to try and remain without status or return home to wait and hear about H&C. Best to deal with that when you know whether you got th3 extension. H&C is a long and tough process with no guarantees I am afraid.
Remaining w/o status would be illegal, would not it?
I also heard that if she returns home and even we receive AIP, they may take it back. Is it not right?
First extension was relatively smooth and they granted her 1 year. But that year already passed.

I’ve applied in May 2018 and the status is still “application received”! Not to be discharging but there is really no rules as to when AIP approvals ! Some applicants were approved in less then a year and the others have waited for over 3 years!
Yes, I see. Thanks for sharing your information.
The official processing time is 31 months but you are saying that it can go even over this timeline?
Do you know at which point of time the status is supposed to change to "In process"? Is it where they start actually working on the file?

The posted processing times are just estimates. So yes - it can go over this timeline (also shorter).
