Oh wow. It’s almost 2 years since you applied. Did you try contacting them? Did you apply with a lawyer or by yourself?
My bad I didn’t see the other comment. I recently applied for h&c. I came here when I was a minor and never went back to my country. I’m honestly just praying I get approved since the government is making so many changes to immigration. I really hope you get approved soon though.
When did you arrive in Canada and what has been your status? How old are you now? Processing will take many years unless there are some reforms and H&C doesn’t prevent removal. You may be better off considering other options.
Hoping for the best is not a good plan with H&C especially if you have only recently applied. H&C does not prevent removal, you have minimal control over H&C outcomes, a refusal has significant consequences because if you get denied then returning as a temporary resident will be very difficult, etc. Canadian immigration has changed a lot in the past few years and you need to be very strategic to put yourself in the best possible position to qualify for PR. As a young person that may mean returning home to try to come back as a PR. Really depends on their history, if they have been in Canada legally or not, their country of origin, their ability to speak French, etc. H&C process could take 5-7+ years at the moment for 2025 applicants. You can be removed while waiting. You could literally return home, do a healthcare course like nursing, learn French, work for at least a year, etc. and that may actually be a faster process.
Regular troll/doomsday account. Just block and ignore. Often spreads doomsday messages that H&C will take years and years
Congrats! You must be so happy that you have PR since leaving the country. Can you tell me a little about your application if you don’t mind? How did you come to apply for h&c? Why did you have to leave the country? What age did you apply ?
Thanks for that but still stage 2 is pending not sure how long it will take so i came to canada in 2018 when i was 17 as a international student then due to some issues backhome i applied for assylum in 2020 through a lawyer who just took money for me i wasn’t aware of the processing of asylum so my assylum case got abounded i wasn’t aware of that i was on open work permit till 2023 May but then i received a cbsa notice for removal so i went to lawyer then they suggested me H&c so it was based on all my hardship ,life in canada and community also benifit of child,my work lifr,life threatening and hardships from my back home so i was 22 at that time .So appliied it but still from may till sep i was giving attendance at cbsa but eventually they denied my Pre risk assessment and i got removed.Since then i was worried about everything and everyone was saying that you wasted your money on h&c lawyer.So he intially told me that i will get AIP in 6-7 months but it took me 25 months so since a year i was completely moved on with my life but suddenly i recived an email for AIP from my lawyer.But now i am more worried about stage 2 and also haven’t received medical request and also i think i need ARC to comeback.God know how long it will take.Wishing you luck too!
I’m so sorry you had to go through that. I hope you are having some ease in your life right now. I honestly can’t believe it took 25months for your AIP. Wishing you all the best for Stage 2 approval
I have submitted my application last month. Came to Canada when I was 14 and now applied at 23. I really worried about the processing time since the government is reducing PR application. You gave me a little hope. Thanks for that. I also heard that if your stage 1 is approved you have a really good chance of stage 2 being approved as well.Yeah i am sure you will get approved wishing you best wishes.Even i came to know about these forums few days ago it does really give us hope by reading others stories and approval,that’s why i posted this,maybe it can spread a little hope as i been to many forums since few days tbere was not any new updates were posted .I’m so sorry you had to go through that. I hope you are having some ease in your life right now. I honestly can’t believe it took 25months for your AIP. Wishing you all the best for Stage 2 approval
Wait you didn't know you had a work permit for almost 3 years?? Did you have a job right before CBSA removed you? What was the hardship back home?

Would suggest exploring other options especially if you only recently applied. As a young person you may actually be better off leaving and attempting to come back via an economic program. Assume you may not have legal status now. Did you attend post-secondary ed? In what field? Do you know French?
