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

You recommend taking course of community worker sevice

Do you have a valid WP? Is the program less than 6 months? Really depends on what your CRS score would be if you had a diploma and work experience in certain NOCs and what province you are from. Also would depend how long you have left on your current work permit. Learning French would lead to a higher chance of securing PR these days. You could also continue to learn French if you had to leave Canada. Way too many people have taken these relatively short lower skilled programs so the scores have increased and it has become much harder to secure PR for some NOCs versus a few years ago.

Petition to the Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship​

Whereas:

• Canada has a longstanding humanitarian tradition of assisting people affected by crises through special immigration pathways. PR pathways were established for Hongkongers, Sudanese and Ukrainians;
• Applicants of the pathways face a 62,000-application backlog (35,000 Hong Kong, 20,000 Ukraine, 7,000 Sudan), resulting in projected wait times exceeding ten years, among the longest processing times across Canada’s PR programs;
• The 2026 Immigration Levels Plan allocates only 5,800 admissions to the three pathways, and falling further to just 4,000 annually in both 2027 and 2028;
• These applicants are already living, working or studying in Canada, and granting them PR would reduce the temporary resident population without creating significant new demand for housing, education, healthcare or public infrastructure;
• Canada’s population recently shrank by over 234,000 over three consecutive quarters starting in mid-2025;
• Canada is experiencing an economic slowdown and PM Carney has attributed this partly to lower immigration. Studies have shown that sustainable immigration plays an important role in long-term economic performance; and
• Clearing the backlog would eliminate IRCC’s administrative burden of processing approximately 186,000 work and study permit renewals.

We, the undersigned, citizens and residents of Canada, call upon the Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship to take the following actions:

1. Increase the annual PR admissions target for 2027 onwards from the current 380,000 to approximately 415,000, representing 1% of Canada’s population.

2. With the increased annual PR admissions target, allocate sufficient annual quota to the humanitarian pathways for Hongkongers, Sudanese, Ukrainians to clear the backlog of the 62,000 pending applications within three years.

Whether it makes sense is partially dependent on what your CRS score will be at the end. You will need a year of experience in the NOC to qualify for some PR pathways. PR programs can also change. You need to evaluate whether it makes sense to do the program also knowing it may not help you secure PR in the end. It may increase your chances. If you have had a WP all this time why haven’t you been attempting to do many things to qualify for PR already versus H&C? If you have why aren’t you qualifying? Age? Language score? Lack of education or work experience points? What NOC do you work in? What province do you live in?
