PFL for Non-accompanying dependents (ages 19&20)

[Trolls22]

Posting under Family sponsorship so making an assumption it is a family application and not through an economic stream like Express Entry. Not sure under what program OP applied for.

OP is doing the right thing with the lawyer.

It’s PNP stream that i applied for

Who explained H&C to you that way? H&C is a separate process or at least has been. Maybe it is a way for IRCC to keep applications in the queue indefinitely. It has always been the "rule" than all accompanying and non-accompanying children need to take the medical. This has always been the rule so not irrational but a long standing policy.

That's not really accurate regarding H&C being a separate application. You can apply for PR directly through H&C, that is true. However you can also request H&C consideration as part of an existing economic or family class application.

I do understand that but it is not common for IRCC to say to take this path with PFL after applying for PNP program. Seems like a long process given current H&C timelines if OP starts over at the back of the queue.

That is a good point that it seems it's not via a spousal sponsorship, I realised that and mentioned in different thread.

That said, I think point still stands that saying applicant should ask for 'H&C' does not mean (necessarily) that they are being told to do a full H&C application.

I see no reason to think that the (crazy) long times (i.e. years and years in some cases) for processing PR applications under the H&C program necessarily apply to H&C consideration under another type of application.

I agree the time is uncertain and could be 'long' (we have no idea how long) but the 'H&C timelines' that I'm aware of are specific to PR applications under H&C - and not necessarily a relevant guideline.

That’s why my lawyer said..PNP is under economic stream…Hoping that my application will be granted exemption…

Thank you for all your replies!

You need an immigration lawyer and beyond the expertise of most members. In your original application you outlined that you would never sponsor the children and were aware of this.

I received COPR just today.

I'm in a similar situation. Glad to know your application was approved when you submitted proof that you can't get the children to do the medicals. Congratulations
