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

[wiener]

Has Bill C-12 passed? According to section 8, if someone has claimed refugee in January 2025 and already file is referred to IRB, will that also be impacted? I mean is there any chance to have the claim as ineligible and proceed with deportation?

You are on the safe side. You filed your claim before June 2025, which is when Bill C-12 was introduced, so your claim will not be affected. Even claims referred to the IRB after this date are most likely not affected and will remain at the IRB’s discretion. The major impact of Bill C-12 is on immigration applications, not on protection claims.

What about second part of the question?

Very hard to comment especially without knowing how long you have been in Canada and where you are from. Realistically we don’t know how this bill will be implemented.

Not sure where you see this. Reason for cancellations remain quite vague. I assume you are referring to part 7.

Bill C-12 is likely to become law
The bill has passed its third reading in the House of Commons and its first reading in the Senate. It will become law if it passes its third reading in the Senate and receives royal assent.

The Senate will resume consideration of the bill when it reconvenes in February 2026.

The bill is likely to become law: in the Canadian federal government, it is incredibly rare for bills passed in the Commons to be defeated in the Senate.

Here are two quotes from the article: https://www.cicnews.com/2025/12/maj...oval-what-it-means-for-newcomers-1263891.html

>In the adopted amendments, the bill specifies that the public interest could constitute situations pertaining to “administrative errors, fraud, public health, public safety, or national security.

>In cases where powers are exercised to address issues such as administrative errors or fraud, newcomers with legitimate and correct applications stand to benefit.

^^^ IMO, those feel reassuring. This also has a benefit for so many of you who have a legitimate application here for H&C as they could eventually scrap the bad ones by simply discarding their applications. There could be a silver lining here where you folks actually get faster processing as result of less fraudulent/blanket banned applicants/less eligible applicants.
