H&C Humanitarian Ground with/or Without Failed refugee claim

I’m still trying to understand how bill c 12 can grant ircc the opportunity to cancel applications. I’ve read everything everyone here has said but I still don’t get the correlation
Permanent residence admissions targets
The upcoming Plan will present only minor changes to 2026 admissions targets for permanent residents compared to the 2026 targets in last year's Plan.The overall admissions target of permanent residents for 2026 will remain flat at 380,000.
The economic immigration target will rise modestly to 239,800, up from 229,750 in last year's Plan, while the 2026 admissions target for family reunification will be 84,000, down from 88,000, and the Refugee and Humanitarian target will be 56,200, down from 62,250.
I was reading a bit about what was said in the new budget…
There’s no specific mention regarding humanitarian and compassionate applications, except that this category is grouped with asylum seekers.
The plan also mentions that the government aims to speed up the process of granting permanent residence to protected persons.
And that the admission rate for economic categories would be higher
I’ll add that they also emphasized the francophonie outside Quebec and the granting of permanent residence to 33,000 people holding work permits an absolutely ridiculous number, lol. I don’t understand whether they want to create a new TR to PR stream with such a target for only foreign workers, or if they’re referring to the Canadian Experience Class, or to all skilled workers currently working in Canada
Overall there is no major change in admission targets for PRs for year 2026 including H&C and refugees. Hopefully, after this new targets announced by Government today , it will provide more clarity to IRCC and help to process the current backlog of applications with little more pace, especially those applications which are near finalisation already and were on hold because of this uncertainty going on since start of this year.
We don’t know when Lady Diab will decide to speak in detail about her ministry’s future targets which is on the verge of collapsing and about the new Bill B-12…
She’s been very quiet.
She’s been very quiet.
It’s pure political symbolism…
Improving Francophonie, attracting top talent, protecting vulnerable people and human Rights, reuniting families, controlling immigration (this is the new word since last year)…
Always the same vocabulary, just with a different rhetoric
yeah I agree with that! The whole mess is just for political point scoring and showing public that they did something which other could not but on the ground there is no major change. Eventually number of people land in the country may end up same as compared to prior years or even more.
Now, expect media articles and posts from different ideological groups.
Those who will be pleased about the reduction of temporary residents since they’re seen as the cause of the housing and job crisis, and even as the reason behind the growing lack of civility and social decay in Canadian cities while promoting stéréotypes (without going too deep into details, I don't want to write a thesis about history, international relations, colonialism...)… And then the articles that will be more critical universities lamenting the millions of dollars lost because of fewer international students, employers talking about the impact on their industries because they can no longer find foreign workers…
There will also be a few articles here and there about specific cases rejected asylum seekers, people waiting endlessly for family reunification, and humanitarian applicants who have been forgotten…
In short, you just have to take a look at the news from previous years to predict what we’ll be seeing over the next one.
But anyway, despite all that, we should stay positive!!! I just meant that we’re too deep into political symbolism rather than real vision… It’s up to IRCC, in my opinion, to speak in detail about ALL categories including ours, and not just lump us into the (other) section at the bottom of the numbers table

Canada will undertake a new program to transition up to 33,000 work permit holders to permanent residence over 2026 and 2027 in the upcoming Immigration Levels Plan, according to Budget 2025.
The Plan will also include several other major changes:
The Plan will also include several other major changes:
- Reducing the temporary resident admissions target for 2026 to 385,000, down 43% from 673,650 for 2025.
- The target for international student admissions for 2026 will be 155,000, down 49% from 305,900 for 2025.
- The target for admissions of temporary foreign workers will be 230,000—a decrease of 37% from the 2025 target of 367,750, but an increase of 8% from the 2026 target of 210,700 in last year's Immigration Levels Plan.
- Granting permanent resident status to eligible Protected Persons in Canada over the next two years.
I don't know if they are also talking about h&c or not : " In addition, Budget 2025 proposes a one-time initiative to recognise eligible Protected Persons in Canada as permanent residents over the next two years. This practical step is a reflection of the fact that the vast majority of these people cannot return to the country of their origin. It will also ensure that those in genuine need of Canada's protection have their permanent status recognized, accelerating their full integration into the Canadian society and their path to citizenship. The fiscal cost of this measure is $120.4 million over four years, starting in 2026-27. This represents the costs for Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada and the Canada Border Services Agency to process the additional applications, which are partially offset by higher fee revenues."
