I’m from the country that less than 20 peoples files a refugee claim in a year.
Here’s my full timeline for anyone tracking:
I just wanted to share my experience. I’m a legitimate applicant who joined the group later after here almost 3 years. I decided to join to give back and help others with their timelines.
- Applied: March 14, 2023
- AOR/request for correction : August 31, 2023
- Final Decision: September 8, 2025
- Portal 1 (P1): September 11, 2025
- Portal 2 (P2): September 28, 2025
- eCoPR Issued: October 10, 2025
Honestly, I wouldn’t rely too much on the posted processing time. I believe and hope all of us end up getting results earlier than expected.
Wishing everyone the best of luck! your turn is coming soon!
H&C Humanitarian Ground with/or Without Failed refugee claim
- Thread starter TheWaitingGamer
- Start date
Asking for family member:
My sister ( My sister is the main applicant ) and her family applied for H&C in June 2022 qnd got AIP in April 2025.
Now both have work permit and working, her husband have applied for re entry visa . He is thinking about short visit bak home ( wife and children will stay in canada )to sell some properities . Would leaving Canada for short period affect or jeopardize their H& C application ?

Is it possible to update a H&C application AFTER you submit it? While it is still awaiting processing?
Example: Such as adding more evidence to your file? Or adding more details that might strengthen the case?
I realize that in most cases, it is not possible to add more documents to an application after it is submitted. But what if you were to attach a link in your original application (a link which points to an online cloud storage space) and you upload the information to that cloud folder? Will IRCC accept this?

It actually depends on her situation. if you claim in your application that going back to your country will bring unnecessary hardship based on violence, political unrest etc depending on the country you intend to visit, then it will be unwise to go back until you have been approved. But if the hardship you claim is based on some other issue e.g no access to better health care, for the children, disruption to better education etc then it will not impact on your application. Kindly get advise from a Lawyer for better understanding.

Would be very reluctant to sell anything until they have confirmed PR. There are so many unknowns with H&C at the moment.
Based on purely math based on application, quotas and backlogs processing times are going to be very long. H&C also does not prevent removal so many will be removed during processing. Realistically the program is no longer functional and needs to be reassessed.
Add new documents through webform, it takes less than 30 minutes to an hour to receive feedback for documents upload to your file. Even though h and c take years to process..
I've been told that if you add data through a web form, it doesn't necessarily become a part of the H&C application. THe H&C application will always be viewed seperately and the web form will be viewed seperately (possibly on a different date or never).
Wow I didn't know this option was there! Its weird cause when I look at the H&C application portal, it specifically says "You will NOT be contacted in the future for more information" and "You will not have the chance to append additional documents in the future".
What do you mean please. Do you think stage 2 could not be guaranteed even if you have AIP
It’s unbelievable
Pr quotas are likely to increase in 2026 for other programs, while some PNP economic PR pathways have received a boost in allocations in 2025.This may also reduce application for H and C.
New Immigration level plan to be released in few weeks from now.
