Who knows. Likely not but limit dramatically who can apply and try to categorize application in order to identify quick refusals to reduce processing times. Limit how many times you can apply also a possibility.

The inventory was 45K in November 2024. That means 25K additional applications in 7 months. I hope this is not true, but this is what lawyer mentioned in youtube video
That is the general category. If you take all forms of H&C applications I believe that is where the 70k comes from and is actually the more important figure because the PR targets are for all forms of H&C not general H&C.
Hi, I applied for H&C in December 2023. Does anyone know how long it usually takes to get a decision? Has anyone here received approval, and if so, when did you apply?
That explains why IRCC is issuing AIP without finalizing PR. Whoever plan target numbers is not in touch with reality.
That is very long wait. I have hard time understanding why someone needs to wait more than 19 months for AIP.
Yes and wait times between AIP and PR will likely get longer than around a year as backlog grows. IRCC can’t prioritize H&C applications over economic and family sponsorship for example which make up the largest quota of PR. Without adding to the PR annual target how will you find more quota for H&C? The answer is limiting who can apply for H&C and not adding more programs. You would also need to pause refugee programs to focus on processing the backlogs of protected people and refugees applying for PR to get through that PR backlog, stop parent sponsorship which would require a ban of parents applying for H&C and would be very unpopular with PRs and citizens (ie. voters), etc. Even if you did all this it would still take many years to address the backlogs. Also hard to pause targeted programs in response to wars and disasters when there has been a precedent set.
Volume of applicants, ability for department to process applications and limited quota. The file isn’t taking 19 months to process. Most of the time is waiting in a queue waiting to be assigned to an officer after over a year.
Yes, it has been a very long and difficult wait. It’s hard to understand why AIP takes more than 19 months, and the uncertainty during this time has been extremely stressful for us. We are just hoping things move forward soon.
no not yet, I can do that for my H&C application will it have any negative impact on my application
You can certainly apply but your processing is likely just going through normal processing. It won’t hurt your application. I would compare your timeline to others who applied at the end of 2023 or beginning of 2024. Most have not been processed either. There is just a huge backlog and very slow processing because the H&C office can only process a certain number of files per year and given the limited annual quota the office may also be processing less applications than in previous years to prevent a backlog from AIP to PR (currently already around a year). IRCC also tends to spread out AIPs and eCOPRs/COPRs throughout the year (if application is approved) if not they would meet their quota early on in the year.
Order them.. you will get a good idea of whats going on and why you could be waiting
I may take years after AIP to get PR as I saw in facebook group today. I think the delay in processing PR after AIP is due to small quota. People would need to adapt to living in Canada on work permit for quite some time.
