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

[canuck78]

Two of my friends got their medical requests 2-3 weeks after AIP, however VIP people like me haven't got it even after 15 months

Given the delays in going from AIP to PR medicals will likely be delayed so they remain valid and don’t have to be repeated multiple times.

Are you a Montreal applicant?

No

Hey guys. I got a final decision this Monday August 17. Submitted all the information they requested on Tuesday August 18th. Waiting for them to create a portal so I submit my passport pictures. I’m a Montreal applicant. I applied July 2021. I just want to know if anyone knows how long it will take to have my portal created. I know there are some delays. But I’d like to know how long it will take. And is that what’s called portal 1 and portal 2?

Hello, can you please share your CSQ timeline ?

Agreed.
So my GCMS notes said they haven't started security yet. Through MP inquiry, I got to know they're not waiting for any external agencies. Also nothing is pending from our side.
@canuck78 do you think they kept our file aside due to quota?

You are in a very long line. Nothing may move when it comes to your application for quite some time. The H&C program is no longer functional and has just become a series of backlogs at every stage. All you can do is wait your turn.

I thought the same and just filed a mandamus application. Hope to get a closure.

Your wait time has to exceed normal processing time by a significant amount so would not normally be a case for mandamus. Looking back you appear for have received AIP in mid 2025 so you are experiencing normal processing and that wouldn’t normally be a case where filing a writ of mandamus would be effective. If, for example, your processing time was many years longer than other similar applications then that would be a case for mandamus. Everyone else who received AIP after you is still likely waiting for second stage as well and filing a writ of mandamus is not supposed to get you faster processing than everyone else. There are likely thousands of people waiting after AIP but there is a limited annual quota so IRCC can only land so many people per year. Did you hire a lawyer and did they recommend filing?

I understand that my second stage processing hasn't crossed the average timeline, however one can't ignore the fact that my application is 52 months old now. When I applied, the processing time was less than 18 months. I trust the judiciary and hoping to get a fair decision. And yes, I hired a lawyer.
