			Thank you so much for the help and the clarification.
In your opinion, or if it was you, would you drop the H&C and apply for EE or will you stay with H&C.
I just do not want to waste time and get a refusel or it takes very long.
i submitted my application on July 2017 and they started processing my application on March 2018
		
		
	 
Honnestly If I was eligible for EE, I would never gone H&C road. H&C was the last and only option for me.  Also to apply for EE, I need  to have a valid status but I don't ( all my work permit mention does not confert status )
Did you ask your lawyer about both applications processing toguether?
 
	
		
			
		
		
	
				
			 
			
			 
			
				
			
		
		
		
	 
										
										
											
    
	
										
										
											
	
										
									
								 
								
									
								
								
									
    
	
								
							 
						
					 
				
			 
		
	
	
	
					
					
				
	
		
			
		
		
	
	
		
			
		
		
	
					
					
						
	
	
	
	
	
	
			
				
			
		
		
			
				
					
				
				
					
						
							
								
									
          
	
								
								
									
										
											
	
	
	
										
										
											
	
	
	
		
		
			
				
			
			
			
				
					
	
		
			
		
		
	
Hi
Submitted June 2017
First approval of Oct 2018
Medical request Jan 2019
Up till now they are still on background check. My MP's office has been helping get updates. 
Medical and eligibility passed. 
My concern is, is the delay coming from UAE as I lived there and submitted a police report from there. 
It personally took me 3 months to get my police report from UAE. 
Anyone with background checks delay?

I don't usually post here actually, that's why. I'm living in Canada already since last year and I went to a Immigration Lawyer that guide me since then to apply under H&C. Since Jan I'm gathering all the necessary documents and proofs requested. Now I'm praying for good news.

H&C is very hard to get but I still don't see why you qualify for H&C and not not normal economic immigration.  Are you in Canada as a visitor?

My case was a unique one. Lol.
I married July 2013 and my husband landed Canada Aug 2013. I didn't know my husband when he started his application. So I was not listed in his family class.
In 2016 I came to Canada with visitors visa thinking I can apply for pr immediately but I was told he can sponsor me and he may be flagged for misrepresentation.
So we went thru h&c stating that my kids needs their daddy and I applied for hdc after one year In Canada which gave me time to create strong ties in the country. 
To the glory of God, I became a PR in July

We see cases similar to yours all the time where the spouse lands without updating CIC that they have gotten married when they needed to include the spouse and land together.  Most time spouses are denied H&C.  You seem to have gotten very lucky quite a few times and received a TRV even though you had to declare you had a spouse who was a Canadian PR.  Most get refused because of their times to Canada are too strong given their spouse is in Canada and visitors must prove that their ties are strong to their home countries and they will return after visiting Canada.  Couples in this situation also run into problems if they have children because the wife has no healthcare coverage and their bills can get quite high and many do not have the savings needed.  You got lucky but many with the same issue have remained separated so people should follow the landing instructions and advise CIC if you have gotten married before landing.

I totally agree with you. When I applied for my visitor visa, I had strong ties to my home country. I had a business and a job too. I never lied in my application.
