70% cases of H& C were refused in the first two months of 2021

According to data the Immigration Department provided in response to an order paper question from Kwan this spring, the rate of applications refused after processing ranged from 35% to 41% between 2016 and 2019. Those figures do not include applications that were withdrawn.

In 2020, the rejection rate rose to 57% even though the total number of applications processed — 7,835 — increased by just 11%, which was a smaller jump than the prior year.

The 2021 figures, which only include up to Feb. 28, show the rate of applications refused climbed to 70% of the 4,180 processed in the first two months of this year.

Would assume that faster processing of both asylum cases and H&C eliminates the ability of many to establish ties like they once were able to. Many were waiting 2-3 years for a response for their H&C applications and if you had applied for asylum and appealed you may have waited around 5 years or longer before receiving a response to your H&C claim. During 5+ years most are able to establish significant ties leading to a higher approval rate. One of the reason the government wanted to process H&C applications faster is to prevent people from having the time to establish so many ties to Canada and evaluate cases based on ties established before applying for H&C.
