This is my timeline
1 We received your application for permanent residence on February 8, 2019.
2 We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s) on March 12, 2019.
3 We started processing your application on March 14, 2019.
You are still in normal processing times. Many are over 2 years and some have been waiting for closer to 3 years.

H and c has a higher approval rate now.before it was just 2% but now many people are being approved. In this forum and the other forum, more people are being approved than being denied
Hi - I'd appreciate seeing where you got your statistical information because the approval rate for H&Cs has never been as low as 2%. Maybe you're thinking of the PRRA approval rate? You'd probably be pretty close if so.

In my experience the H&C approval rate is generally around 50%.

Believe it was around 40% but not much lower than that. There are many who never apply and remain the shadows or can’t wait a year and go home. When asylum claims were processed much faster there wasn’t as much time to establish a life in Canada or have a child before having your H&C heard.

Hello there,

I once posted stat's before but I'm not bothering to do it again. In my experience it's always been closer to 50% but if we're to quibble then post them or forget it.

Refugee claims have never been "fast." A refugee claim (coupled with a lugubrious removal process) in Canada has always provided sufficient time to establish yourself and even to have multiple children.

Perhaps you don't go far enough back to know about Refugee Backlog Offices? file:///C:/Users/john/AppData/Local/Temp/b17697268.pdf (Google Canada refugee backlog offices 1990).

There have been umpteen reforms to refugee processing since then. The Federal Court has grown substantially to accommodate refugee casework and layers added to the IRB to try and mitigate the volumes and intensity of the cases going into the courts. IRPA, in 2002 brought in PRRA (replacing PDRCC) because of the length of time between a refugee decision and actual removal processing. Loads of time for kids and jobs and immersion into Canada.

Here is why H&C approvals are statistically "high." GCMS counts individuals and since families are more likely to be approved than single applicants - BIOC - the approval a family of 4 and the refusal of 4 single people generates a 50% approval rate within their processing model. 5 case files generated 8 decisions.

Put simply:

- the idea that there was once so rapid a refugee (and/or removal) system as to prevent births and establishment isn't factually reflected anywhere over the last 35 years.

- the "high" approval rate is reflective of the policies that favour families over individuals, and how this is counted.

Best regards

We received medical instructions and other docs request a day after AIP for my mother's H&C application but i think now the COPR might take some time. Fingers crossed
Can anybody let us know how to apply for open work permit online?

I am unable as it dies not give H&C as option to check eligibility in my account.
