OMG -what are the consequences on our 50 + waiting and invested time and money. what should we do if Bill C-2 applied to SUV
You can not do anything. Some might dream about petitions or lobbying, but realistically Canada will just be pleased with the money and time you’ve already poured into the system. After that, the only option will be to look for opportunities elsewhere.

The country itself feels like it’s in freefall, over the last two months alone more than 100,000 jobs were lost. Anti-immigration sentiment is now out on the streets, visible and normalized. The government will want to show they’re “addressing” this problem. If Bill C-2 applies to SUV, there will be no appeals if an application is rejected. They’ve already changed the wording in their official communications: immigration is framed as a “privilege,” not a “right.”

What I’m hoping for is simply clarity, whatever their decision, I want to know as soon as possible. Because the truth is, they’ve already made up their minds; Parliament is just going through the motions of justifying it.

And human staff can’t process the avalanche of files piling up. At the same time, with the country heading into a recession and 100K jobs lost, they’re not going to hire more officers for IRCC. The only way forward will be automation and AI, which will inevitably butcher applications, even the ones that technically fit all the criteria. That leaves little room besides humanitarian visas, refugee claims, and programs the government sees as higher social priority. From their perspective, applicants “creating opportunities” aren’t as urgent as those already consuming/abusing social support.

I want to ask that does anyone applied the WP in 2025 and got approval or refusal from IRCC. We applied in 2023 and got refusal in 2024..now we want to apply again.. So need recommendations that is it a better time to apply for it.. Our PR application was filed in june 2023 got AOR, biometric, medical was done in dec 2023. After that we didn't hear anything from IRCC except the rejection of WP application. So put your insight that what should we do now.
Thanks

Hi,
I saw there were some cases had WP rejected but finally they got PR approval so you shouldn't be too worried about that.
As you mentioned above "PR application was filed in june 2023 ,... medical was done in dec 2023" I assume that the medical request was only for the one who applied the WP not for PR application.
Basing on the very pessimistic situation for our SUV applications currently, If I were you I would do as follow:
1 - If your DO is priorty => Just wait and see what IRCC will request next
2- If your DO is not priority => Have better to withdraw and change to another country or another way othersise you may have wait for 10-30 years,...
Just an idea
Cheers & Good luck
