    Question regarding maintained status for calculating physical presence

    Applying for PR did not give you status in Canada as a visitor. If through spousal sponsorship an OWP does give you implied status if you had a valid VR when you applied for the OWP. You were likely out of status for quite some time but in those days there was minimal vetting of applications.

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

    The current system is not functional and it appears as though IRCC is trying to make people want to leave because of long processing or try to deport them while waiting. We’ll see what happens after bill c-12 or amended bill. Many will no longer have strong H&C case as time goes on while...

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

    There are already long backlogs of AIPs waiting for PR so yes it could take a few more years if current system goes on unchanged.

    refugee with health issues ( palestinian)

    Where had you been living before coming to Canada? Do you qualify for any other citizenships or what country do you have status in? Living on disability or welfare is incredibly difficult in Canada given the cost of living. Most are dependent on charity for things like food for example.

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

    If processed BIOC will be considered but just having children is not enough these days there needs to be another element that makes your case exceptional.

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

    Canada ignored the issue for a long time. There is now a lot of push from citizens to reduce volume of temporary residents and people without status. We are already seeing changes that will make it harder to remain without status like not being able to get a driver’s license in some provinces.

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

    Doesn’t just target H&C. They don’t want to say anything until c-12 or an amended bill passes. Canada has started removing a lot more people. Normally people are willing to go after they exhaust all options since most don’t want to end up in immigration detention or having to be escorted on the...
