after they receive the application will they notify the applicant to leave canada, and wait for a decision in their home country or they will tell applicant @ stage 1?
I read that stage 1 can take many months

Generally speaking, it's very strongly recommended that you remain in Canada until the H&C application is finalized (unless of course you are removed by CBSA from Canada while the H&C application is being processed). Generally speaking, being outside of Canada can weaken your H&C application and demonstrate that you don't have a strong H&C need to be in Canada. Best to remain in Canada if you can.

If you are removed from Canada, you won't be able to return until the H&C application is approved.

I'm not sure I understand your question.

If someone is under a removal order and CBSA decides to proceed with the removal order, having an H&C application in progress which hasn't received first stage approval won't halt that person's removal from Canada.

Anyone without status is at risk of being removed.
Yes, you both gave me the answer to my question. thx
