Hello BeaC.Hello mims2000
Every case is different, like you probably know , medium processing time from H & C ground is around 34 months , in my opinion if they started processing your app its good that is mean that your app is complete and you have chance. Stay strong , what is your status? Are you in Canada now?
When i applied for humanitarian i was on restoration. I was able to secure a work permit again after they took out the 4 years cap last dec. i was reaching my 4 years that time. I also tried to apply for express entry but my score didnt reach the quota.
Thanks for tge reply
