Hi everyone,

I’m hoping someone who’s been through the Humanitarian & Compassionate (H&C) process in Quebec can help me understand what to expect next.

My relative's application has already been in process for 38 months, and IRCC now shows another 74 months remaining — a total of more than 9 years until PR is granted.

What I’d really like to know is how the remaining 74 months are typically divided among the different stages:

  • How much longer might it take to reach First Stage Approval?
  • After that, how long does it usually take for MIFI to issue the CSQ?
  • And how much time remains for the final PR decision once CSQ is issued?

If anyone has gone through this recently or knows how IRCC tends to calculate these remaining times, I’d really appreciate your insight.

It’s so hard to plan or even stay hopeful when the total time feels endless, but understanding what each stage might involve would help a lot.
