Processing times are around 2 years and most processing doesn’t start until the 1+ yr mark so there is no need to file frequent GCMS notes. Sadly your file is sitting in a pile and nothing is happening to it. If in Quebec you’re looking at close to 4 years. H&C has become a very long process with minimal changes until 1.5 years for most.
 
Hi Happy New Year
Hope you are doing well.
I have one question if you can reply. Will be appreciated. Is it good time for H&C for my parents? Should i apply ?
Please suggest

No unless you really have exceptional circumstances. Given recent announcements many people will do this and IRCC either has already planned or will be forced to be very strict about parents applying for H&C. H&C is not meant to replace PGP. We have already seen parents get denied recently and filing H&C indicates they want to remain in Canada. If denied they will have difficulty even visiting Canada in the future.

Best way for them to do what? Just verifying that you know tha visa Expiry and visit length/record are different things.

Supervisa

if you are an only child, why would you go thru the process of immigrating, knowing that PR was only for yourself?

Adding you started the PR process seven years ago

They aren’t allowed to stay 10 years on an TRV regardless

HC isn’t meant as an alternative way to circumvent the rules .

You only recently moved to Canada while also knowing that parent sponsorship was not even a possibility for over 3 years and demand far exceeds limited amount of spots. You need a longterm plan for your parents whether they have to live in their home country or whether they eventually get the opportunity to apply for PR which could be 10+ years with no guarantees. Your parents are also not alone in their home country they have each other which is typically a consideration for H&C as well.

When waiting for H&C application update and decision, can the applicant stay and work in Canada if having a valid work permit?
