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

[bella12]

Asking for family member:

My sister ( My sister is the main applicant ) and her family applied for H&C in June 2022 qnd got AIP in April 2025.
Now both have work permit and working, her husband have applied for re entry visa . He is thinking about short visit bak home ( wife and children will stay in canada )to sell some properities . Would leaving Canada for short period affect or jeopardize their H& C application ?

Travelling to your home country while having a H& C is not recommended. This demonstrates you have strong home ties to your country of Origin than Canada. Also, it demonstrates you are 'potentially ' well established in your home country than Canada.

Conversely ,H & C application is an immigration program you need to demonstrate your ties to Canada is greater than your tire to your home country. That includes establishment in Canada . These are some critical factors IRCC put into consideration before making a decision.

Traveling back home will definitely raise alarm bell that will interest IRCC to dig further beyond your H&C submission. Thus, ending in a negative decision of your application. So therefore, if you can avoid it or not necessary, please do.

It could make sense if processing time is not 10 years. Whoever applied cannot travel anywhere not just back home for years. Ruining people lives for no reason.

Isn't it also true that if you leave Canada, your H&C application changes its status from "In-Canada application" to an "Outside-Canada application"? And as per the law, IRCC has no obligation to look at "Outside-Canada" applications?

Question - In the second stage, does the officer checks all our submissions again to give the final decision or just the checks at the backend matter only? For example, I gave support/volunteer letters from my neighbours and organizations where I used to live earlier and now moved to a different address/city. Will the officer consider integration to Canada or the place for example.

Given current state of H&C I would suggest getting involved in your new local community.

Not sure I understand what you want to follow-up on. Most of these petitions are mostly performative. Also governent moves incredibly slow so you would never see a response so quickly. Would primarily be following immigration announcements and committees. Essentially we are waiting to see what happens with bill c-12 but the immigration minister is incompetent and the government is being very vague about their plans for programs likely because they want bill c-12 to pass first.

There wont be mass cancellation of H and C applications under bill C12.

Those look like proposed amendments. No definitive changes in C12 yet.

Second reading still contains the original intent to allow cancelations (87.300-87.305)

Wouldn’t count on that especially for general H&C. If IRCC didn’t have mass cancellations in mind for some programs they wouldn’t be pursing things like bill c-12 and would have allocated more quota to H&C especially general H&C. Given the number of temporary residents in Canada and the plan to reduce volume dramatically this has to involve things like mass cancellations of some programs and the prevention of applying for H&C and asylum if you have no pathway to PR. It would also be incredibly difficult to screen all the H&C applications if IRCC decided they would not cancel general H&C but would have a very strict criteria. It is much less complicated and expensive to start from scratch. The liberals had planned on bill c-12 being passed much earlier but they are essentially waiting for bill c-12 to pass before likely announcing their plans. This also gets tricky because as a minor they have to find some MPs to pass it. Assuming this will be challenge in court but most will have no legal way to stay as any challenges make it makes it through the courts. Would personally operate as if the program will be cancelled and have a plan B, C, D, etc.
