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

[Aysure]

@canuck78, please i applied for H&C last year June and i have not received AOR since then. The lawyer said it does not mean IRCC will not process my application. Please advice on what to do.

Most don’t have any movement regarding their application for 1.5+ years these days so until you reach at least that point you aren’t tracking anything. This may get even longer given the volume of applicants and the yearly quota which is small and getting smaller every year for all forms of H&C. For example there is likely around 100k applications for the general H&C program but there are only 10k spots for all forms of H&C (there are at least 5 types) this year, 6.5k for 2026 and 4.5k for 2027. In the fall an analysis said it would take 5-7 year to process all the files waiting for processing and the number of applications have increased since then. Would suggest that your family keep looking for other pathways to obtain PR in Canada.

thanks again for the detailed response. We have tried all the other options & this is the last option like Most of them in the forum! I will wait for some response as how to track the application submitted by a representative.!

Track what? If you have AOR there is nothing to track for at least a year but likely longer if you look at other people’s applications.

Are you sure there are 100k applications for H and C. Last statistics showed inventory of 45k applications pending for eligibility.

You’re right this must have been all forms of H&C. Even if likely between 50-60k for general H&C at this point you will still have processing of 5-7+ years.

Are you sure you haven’t received AOR? Have you called IRCC? Looked at your account online? That is likely the only thing you have received but you should have AOR.

If you're looking on how to track an online application, there's two ways : call IRCC OR ask for ATIP notes. It's too early to expect any movement but you can try these options later. On the portal, it would always say submitted only and we can't track it like other applications.

Even 50k is alot for H and C. Processing time can not be 5 years.
