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

[canuck78]

Yes but the thing is I am in the same timeline with someone who received AIP in 2025. We all received Medical Request at the same time because we applied at the same time around Summer 2023. I received AIP a bit late because my criminality passed in stage 1 not wait for stage 2. I am waiting for the final decision right now. We all outside Quebec.

That is not how processing works. When you originally applied for H&C is not what is important it is when you received AIP. You need to be comparing your processing to other applicants who received AIP in July 2026. When did you receive your medical request? Is this your first medical request for your H&C application? Did you have status before AIP? A medical request does not guarantee that you are nearing the end of processing. You can be asked to complete another one if the 1st one expires.

I was thinking the same thing but it doesn’t say anywhere as you said, only I have heard it from you. Either way we will wait and see.

You got AIP in 2025 so getting a medical request after a year is fairly normal these days. It may still take a while to get PR even though you got a medical request. Some may end up needing to do a second medical depending on how long processing takes.

There is a WhatsApp group for people waiting for stage 2

Based on your posts you only got AIP in July 2026. When you got AIP would be when you joined the queue for AIP to PR so you likely have 1-2+ years before you would get PR if approved/there are no changes to the program. Although not processed exactly chronologically should give people an approximate processing timeline if you compare when others have received AIP. Whether in or outside of Quebec will lead to different processing times. There should be no additional information on ATIP notes since you just got AIP in July. At a certain point you should receive requests for a new medical or your 1st one, proof of being able to support yourself financially, etc. That would indicate you are getting closer to the end of processing.

based ircc processing time what they posted on their website still 28 months left but as always canuck says we do NOT have to believe whatever IRCC saying or posted, they got FD while IRCC internal system still shows need to wait for over 2.4 years
isn't IRCC's inconsistency?

Estimated time left​

28 months left

IRCC agents give out so much incorrect advice. They should have been aware that if a clinic confirms it was sent relatively recently it just hasn’t been input in the system yet and there is often a lag time. There is no need to go to the medical clinic. You could send a webform with proof to provide reassurance for yourself but it is unnecessary.

stage 2 approval recently so
