It is not always revised and does allow people to see the patterns to plan for the future even if revised. We have a new government and geopolitical and economic headwinds so not surprising if the numbers are tweaked a bit. I don’t expect major changes just slight differences in allocations...
You may need to delay the surgery until you get sponsored. Although uncomfortable it is not and emergency. All you can do is wait for the outcome of your TRV.
You can attempt to apply for a visitor record. Don’t think you have a good reason to request over 6 months. Processing times, unless very exceptional cases, are 2-3 years for 1st stage and will likely increase dramatically unless there are significant reforms. H&C does not prevent removal. I...
The 2025 target was revised down by Miller. As were the 25-27 targets. That said the whole system is a mess and asylum & H&C on a long list of things that need to be reformed.

What is your wife’s status in Canada? Have you applied for spousal sponsorship. A breast reduction is not really considered a medical emergency. Does she actually have a scheduled surgery date? Does she have any family in Canada?
The office has essentially told them they are in line for CSQ and are waiting their turn to receive it. The whole system is full of people in queues waiting. Not sure what a lawyer would do about this. For Quebec this is not a highly abnormal professing time.
You do need to show significantly abnormal processing times for writ of mandamus. People should definitely consult a lawyer but some lawyers will be happy to take your money when chances of writ of mandamus so early are not great.
The article is making a lot of assumptions based on the first 6 months of data. Yes there is some flexibility in the targets but don’t think the government wants to go significantly over the 395k for political and economic reasons. In general approvals tend to slow down at the end of the year...
