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

[Leo890]

My case seems exactly the same! Should we go to court as well? Initially it was 18 months processing time when I applied for it and now it says 43 months remaining after 3 years!

if you have a lawyer, I would say yes you should because there is a chance high likely court will not accept unreasonable postponing finalize applications.

 

[Leo890]

Your case can’t be the same because you didn’t apply to be a caregiver. You are also ignoring the fact that economic immigration programs give out exact criteria to determine who qualifies to apply which is very different than H&C. In the judgement it also specifies that caregiving economic immigration programs are likely more time sensitive program. Most of the judgement reinforces that the minister needs to be more detailed as to why processing times have changed.

OP did not say their case is similar or not and when it comes to application Judicially reviewed by the court does NOT matter if economic application or non economic programs standard rule apply for all cases in department of immigration under section 72 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, and the Federal Courts Citizenship, Immigration and Refugee Protection Rules.
thy did not indicate any separation of PR category all has to be going through this process, so there is no prejudicial between types of PR even in the context judgment not mentioned applies only for caregiver or other economic so yes there is still no differentiate for PR cases I do not know why people like you interpreted incorrectly.

High court is not something under your wishing / hoping control whether you agree with court ruling or you file for appeal, court must treat all immigration files fairly whether economic or non economic or sensitive hhhh
@canuck78 see this decision in 2025 mandamus for H&C
this application has been “reframed” as an H&C application, there is no standard processing time!!!
A writ of mandamus is ordered compelling the Minister or IRCC to complete the processing of the Applicant’s application within 120 days of this order

the most interested part minister stated there is no standard processing time for this type of application even they reframed to H&C but guess what alternatively judge toasted minister

Humanitarian & Compassionate and Other​

This category includes those who have applied for permanent residence on humanitarian and compassionate grounds, those affected by international conflicts, crises, natural disasters and some exceptional circumstances, as well as those who would not be eligible under other programs.


6,900 Target for PR for H&C and Other in 2026
3,000 New PRs from January to May 2026

We’re on track to meet our Humanitarian & Compassionate and Other target for 2026​

Because this category is used for special circumstances, crisis response and exceptional cases, the pace of admission for these permanent residents can vary throughout the year.


*** who knows from this 3000 how much is exactly landed PRs for H&C straight? which the target for whole year is 1100.
not other H&C baseline we aware special measures for H&C this is not our problem, we only care about straight H&C inside Canada.

Protection​

This includes applications for permanent residence under these categories: protected persons in Canada, government-assisted refugees, privately sponsored refugees, and humanitarian and compassionate grounds. The data does not include special measures.

this is quite weirdo they considered H&C in Protection class that never meant to H&C cases they not suppose to do this because in humanitarian claim you can NOT ask for protection unlike refugee claim so not possible call this program HP ( Humanitarian Protection ) however this type of residency is very common in UK immigration system but not similar to Canada.

 

[Leo890]

there is no sign to close this program anytime soon!
