As I have previously mentioned the H&C quota is very small and the volume of applicants for all H&C programs is very large so if at all possible people should be exploring other economic pathways to gain PR in Canada if at all possible. There also appears to be a technical glitch for some application but in general if for example someone knows French, works in an NOC in demand, etc. applying to an economic immigration program may be a better option for some.

What is the most popular program among 800,000 immigrants that came to Canada in the first four months of 2025?
Hi guys ! I received this email today but feel suspicious about it because of the address . I logged in IRCC my account and there was no update and no requests. What do you think?
ircc.hiobpublicpolicies-politiquespubliquesdgohi.ircc@cic.gc.ca
The email had my application number and was telling me to resubmit 2 forms because of missing information.

Hey,
Got an email from the similar address, provided requested documents and received AIP a couple of days after.
Approval in Principle. Basically eligibility confirmation if I understand it right.
IRCC account has not been updated though, apart from medical.
I have a few more questions for you if that’s ok .
Apart from medical and biometrics, have you received any other requests?
like financial information?
I’m assuming your application is for Family Reunification?
Thank you ! Really appreciate your support
Another question, I really tried figuring it out myself, spend all evening and got nowhere…
Can someone please explain to me how I supposed to resubmit IMM5406 and IMM 5669 and send it back via email? Maybe it’s a stupid question, but I can only see one way … download, print, fill, sign and send .
Here is what the email says:
Upon further review of your file, it appears the following documents are still outstanding:
- Re-submit IMM5406 form as received incomplete for N.N.
- IMM5669 received with missing personal history, please submit completed form
You must send all the requested documents and/or information by replying directly to this e-mail within 7 days from the date of this letter. Do not modify the subject line.
Please note there is a file size limit of 5MB per file. If your file is too big to upload, find out how to reduce the file size.
Thanks

It falls under H&C and the quotas are so small people should be expecting years to be processed and land as PRs. If you have other options please pursue those.
Unfortunately, in our case it's an elderly and there are no other feasible alternatives, especially since family sponsorship has been effectively cancelled. At least AOR after year+ of waiting would be nice.
I plan to reach out to my MP, as this is ridiculous, if you create a public policy it should be followed in a timely manner, as this not really a regular H&C review. It was created for a specific group of people under certain circumstances with a very clear criteria for eligibility unlike regular H&C cases. If it's proven that people fall under the criteria, there is no reason to consider this for years.
Just want to know if anyone else have seen any progress on their cases?

Canada’s policy towards Ukrainians compared to other citizens has already been very generous and the bureaucrats at IRCC actually warned against it because it would be problematic longterm. They also have their own pathway to get PR even if processing may take years without a cap unlike many other groups. Feel free to complain to your MP but tough to argue that Ukrainians are not being given favourable treatment and that they should also be given expedited processing. Also tough to argue that PR quotas should be increased to process more Ukrainians when they already have temporary status in Canada with access to things like healthcare unlike many other people applying for H&C. Would also be very tough to justify increasing the quota for H&C applicants versus economic pathways for example. In your case applicants also not contributing the tax base so even more difficult to argue for expedited processing compared to other applicants. For example quota for H&C also involves family trying to sponsor Sundanese relatives many whom are likely either still in a war zone or in neighbouring countries in less than ideal situations. The family in Canada have to guarantee financial support to get them to Canada which was not the case for Ukrainians and there is a pretty low number of applicants who will be accepted versus no cap. Although you may feel the system is unfair the data shows that your family member has been very lucky so far and with a reliable path towards PR remains very lucky compared to many other groups. I assume many younger Ukranians are trying to find economic pathways to secure PR so that may have some influence on processing times for Ukranians in the queue but don’t see any appetite from the government or Canadians in general to favour H&C processing or increase yearly PR targets to process Ukrainian H&C applicants faster. Also not possible to pause other forms of H&C to only or primarily process Ukrainians. If anything the argument would be for the opposite of what you are suggesting. Effort should be to process applications with no guaranteed pathway to PR who are inside Canada faster. Not trying to be mean just trying to provide some reality and perspective. H&C in general is a mess and needed reform a long time ago. We keep adding people and programs (there will be pressure to add more) while the quota decreases as does Canada’s ability to absorb people in need and who will place more demands on existing infrastructure.
