It is already 30 months since I have applied. Processing time shows 39 months left it was 38 last month. The reason why I applied for H&C will be disappear during this time. Really weird situation.

The current system is not functional and it appears as though IRCC is trying to make people want to leave because of long processing or try to deport them while waiting. We’ll see what happens after bill c-12 or amended bill. Many will no longer have strong H&C case as time goes on while someone may have a stronger case. Many will also be out of status and potentially working illegally which also could be a factor. What a mess.

That's true. Its a total mess and IRCC is not the only one to blame for this mess. Its also applicants, who once refused 1st application applied for 2nd, 3rd and so on. Than failed refugees, parents , out of status illegal immigrants and the list goes on. The program have been totally misused. More controls are required at the application submission stage like stopping repeat applicants, failed refugees and other similar type of cases to apply for this program.
 

This is extremely odd from a Liberal MP. Do they realize that the Liberals are in power? That they have been trying to pass bill C-2 and now c-12? Agree that many parts of Canada’s immigration need clarity but they should know that bill c-12 Iikely what is delaying any announcements about H&C. Also unclear if they are really targeting a specific subgroup of H&C.

Which is why I think the most likely option and what has been used in the past is to cull the program and start from scratch with much more defined criteria. Not a perfect solution but none exists. The fact that we may soon have a liberal majority may move things along faster.

This is one of the steps to talk about this issue in the chamber.

Exactly, but the most important thing is your signature !
 
I am surprised many people in this forum are still talking about H and C. The inventory volume under processing times show a little to no movement in files month to month. The backlog is not even 100 files less in a month. Unless reforms are implemented, the program is currently frozen.
