Thread for Bill C-12 ineligibility decisions issued by IRCC and the next steps

Not sure how would qualify for OWP under March 2026 policy. PPRA is the only viable option to obtain PR in a relatively short amount of time (up to years) because H&C processing is decades and doesn’t prevent removal or grant WP until after AIP which could also take decades. In general would be asking a person’s lawyer about viable options.
Why would you even suggest H&C ? A quick search states over a 10 year processing time

I am definitely not saying he should skip the PRRA. It is just a matter of timing. Because he is from an ADR country, CBSA will not remove him anytime soon. Since a PRRA is only offered right before removal, he could be stuck waiting years just to get that removal interview.
Because sitting in limbo is not great option. Under the March 2026 transitional public policy, he can actually get an open work permit while his claim is ineligible due to bill C12. Also, applying for an H and C now lets him use that time in useful way to build a permanent path based on his establishment in Canada, instead of just waiting around.
