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

[RechardMountain]

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

THE NEW levels plan indirectly tells us H&C is almost finsh/closed for next 3 years , as EVEN they did not mention any spot and quota even for in-Canada H&C Applicant despite public policies like HK pathways , Sudan, Ukraine,,,,,

SO if i get PRRA approval I will select it for PR application because gov decided speed up protected person pathway and their processing time as on budget 2025 it clearly stated that

PRRA approval rate is VERY low

“Historically, approval rates have been low, with national rates often between 2.1% and 3.3%. “

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.

The are likely giving room for one-off mass processing for the next two years to expedite applications in the refugees class. Like I said in my previous post, Let’s all stop speculations on this App. Even if cancellation of applications will happen, it might be for future applications from when the bill passes and receives royal assent. IRCC is not going to stop working because a bill is in the parliament awaiting legislation process.

[Ruffian2000]

Bill C-12, also known as the Strengthening Canada’s Immigration System and Borders Act, would allow the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration, with the concurrence of the Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness, to mass cancel permits of students already in Canada and to suspend the processing of applications for new permits.

This power would also apply to temporary and permanent resident visas, electronic travel authorizations, and temporary work permits. The bill would also allow IRCC to share personal information and immigration status with other federal departments and agencies, as well as with provincial and territorial governments.

If this bill were to pass, when would it take effect?

Usually, immediately on passing in the H of C.

Whether they start enforcing it right away....well, who knows.

So what stage is it at now? I mean at what stage does it reach the house of commons? Sorry if this has been asked previously, this thread is huge and I don't know where exactly to look for info

It's hasn't gone through any readings in the senate, but it has gone through first and second reading in the House. If my rather dusty memory on the process is correct, it will have to pass all three readings in the senate before final reading in the house. So still possible changes or adjustment may come back from those readings to get it to pass.

In H&C category for year 2026, 84% quota is assigned to Ukraine, Sudan and Hong Kong applicants while only 16% to all other which is only 1100 and going further down to 1000 for each year 2027 and 2028.
