I am wondering if it is inhumane for CIC to hold up the PR card processing by secondary review. A PR cannot even travel freely without a PR card so is it against human right for CIC to make PR card renwal such an endurous and lengthy process?
No.
A PR does not need a PR card generally. A PR does not need a PR card to travel. The card is only a Travel Document for purposes of returning to Canada by commercial transportation and a PR Travel Document is an available alternative for this. Moreover, the mobility rights of a PR are limited to travel within Canada. The Charter gives international mobility rights only to Canadian citizens.
In general, no disability more substantial than inconvenience is imposed by the lengthy review process.
As for what is inhumane: there is indeed widespread abuse of human rights in the world, and frankly to use "inhumane" in this context trivializes the real suffering of so many throughout the world who really are subjected to inhumane treatment.
In the meantime there is legal recourse which can be pursued, including Mandamus, for those who are unjustly denied a PR card. Those who have reason to believe they have been unjustly denied a PR card should consult with a reputable, licensed and experienced immigration lawyer. After all, Canada is governed by the rule of law.
