Hi, they dont ask you to leave? My family and I were called by cbsa and we must wait humanitarian decision in our country. They dont let us to apply for prra or erar because of less time, must be a year after appeal. We are very sad.
It is very dependent on what country you are from and also your timeline of applications in Canada.

Hi everybody! I came with my husband 6 years ago in Canada and we made a refugee claim but after the hearing the decision was negative. Also when we came here i found out that i was pregnant and we made an appeal and H&C grounds application both of them the same time because i had the baby and it was in best interests of the child. The appeal was also denied and we were ready to be deported without hearing anything from the h&c case. One day before we would have been deported we received an approval letter that the h&c was approved (the first stage). The second one with medical etc.. came after six months and after we send everything back they sent us 4 months later for the pr interview so we got our pr. We have paid for everything to the lawyer so much money but at least we were successful. Also, I have a question if anybody knows. I haven't traveled anyway those years and we are already pr residents 3 years now and i want to travel to my back home. At the cic when we got our pr they told us that we can travel in our countries because our refugee claim was rejected. Does anyone know if i am putting my pr in risk if i travel to my backhome?
Good day could you share information on the ground you guys put into your h&c application.

Has anyone received first stage approval? What should one expect after this approval?
I applied on July 04,2018. Has no news other than the acknowledgement letter. My application is still “application received “ status. Taking too long nowadays my lawyer said especially if your application is not about the best interest of a child or you’re in dangerous situations.

My father applied on March 5, 2018 and his first stage approval was mailed out on October 25.

That’s awesome! I’m happy for him. Can you share what grounds he applied please?
He has been in Canada since 1996, he came and applied for asylum which he was granted. He was then granted refugee status in 1998. His status was revoked in 2004 due to misrepresentation. He has a deportation order in his name since 2004 but they haven't deported him as he doesn't have a valid travel document and according to CBSA he's not their priority.

His H&C is based on him unable to leave due to circumstances beyond his control which has caused him to be established here (he's been self-employed in Canada), his family ties here (wife, kids, grandkids), lack of family ties with hia home country (no surviving family there), his health (65 and recently suffered a stroke), among various other reasons.

I will start,

I applied for H&C last year on january by my own on best interest of a child ground.
7month later, without any AOR, I got a call from CIC to update my file and we talk for about 30mns about my application and familly. I receive AIP (Approval in principle) 1 day later.

Since the AIP I didn't ear any news from IRCC until january 2018, I received médical request and Annex A request. it's was all done by the end of january and my background still in progress.

and I still waiting....:oops:

Hello Alien_walkingalone

Yes I Can,

First time, it was a missed call from unknow number, and she leave a voicemail with number to call back. but before I even call her back, she call me again. she was really nice and asked if I can talk a bit about my case.

She wanted to know if I already gave birth, if I had a new partner, if I did my tax declaration, If I had a job, If I'm on welfare, then she gave me a fax number and ask me to send proof about my baby birth and tax declaration.

After that she explained that my application decision gonna be made by her, and if she approuved she will transfert the file to another officer for the stage 2, but if she declined my application will end right there with no right to appeal. I asked if I can do something to increase my chances, and she reply that honestly being on welfare ( because of newborn at this time ) can result to a refusal at the stage 2, even if she approuve stage 1, so she advise to find a job as soon as possible and send her job offer letter, she gave me 3 month to do so.

I was septical about that, but 4 days later, I receive a AIP letter by post canada, and notice that she made her decision one day later her call.

3 weeks later, I send my job offer to her with a letter of thanks.

I hope you will get some good news soon! and don't forget to put your timeline on the speadsheet. If you need something else don't hesitate.
