But there shouldn't be a quota for humanitarian causes in the first place, its pure logic, you can put an estimate for logistic purposes but you can't put a quota for people who are already here. It's just pure politics at this point, something to blame for the downfall of the economy.H&C used to be a relatively small program but always had a quota just like there has always been PR targets for refugees/protected people. The processing times for refugees/protected people has gotten much longer and will continue getting longer because they do have a yearly PR quota. Canada is trying to reduce the volume of temporary residents and ppl without status as well as decrease the yearly PR quota. There is no additional PR quota to allocate to general H&C and the new PR targets may be even less than Marc Miller’s. If there is extra PR quota it would likely go to economic immigration programs. There are many more people wanting to apply than the number of available PR spots for every program.
