I am guessing there would be a large unprocessed quota from year 2025 as we have not seen any except 1 or 2 who have received their PR through H&C category in year 2025 so that plus 2026 quota, will still make up some reasonable number if IRCC want to process those. Long shot or over thinking of me :)

Chances of 3k is unrealistic.
H&C is done.
I am going back home.
I don't want waste more time here.

Would assume that is the case if bill c-12 passes. The program as it currently stands is not functional. High chances they will cull the program and start from scratch.

Why ? Do you really think it’s more realistic to process only 1,000 cases (the minimum )when there are 3,000 in a stream with tens of thousands of applications?
I’m not saying the Humanitarian and Compassionate program is functional it clearly isn’t anymore.
But it would make much more sense to at least approve as many deserving applicants as possible !

The goal is to keep PR numbers low so don’t think IRCC goal is to meet the higher targets. By saying 1k that is essentially confirming their low commitment to general H&C. We really need to see what happens if/after bill c-12 passes.

But why do they set a minimum and a maximum then ? They could just put the exact number at this stage
 
2026-2028 Immigration Levels Plan.

Total Humanitarian & Compassionate and Other

2026
6,900
(6,000 – 9,000)
2027
5,000
(4,000 – 7,000)
2028
5,000
(4,000 – 7,000)

Extremely hard to stick to exact numbers. Also leaves a bit of flexibility for an unplanned event. What is important is the messaging about immigration which is trying to lower levels even though they did the exact opposite by not counting a few one time programs. Also giving a much higher quota to country specific H&C programs also gives an indication about priorities. We all know H&C is a target for bill c-12 but can’t predict what will happen.

Yes but why are they staying silent then ? They could just say directly that Bill C-12 mainly targets humanitarian consideration applications! I wonder what they’ll do afterward with the applicants whose files will be cancelled? Are they going to come get us from our homes? Lol, or handcuff us outside? Or will they do nothing at all, just issue unofficial threats to keep people in the shadows, working the dirty jobs that Canadians and permanent residents refuse to do? Or maybe they’ll give us citizenship instead :D
