Permanent Residence on Humanitarian and Compassionate (H&C)
If you are in Canada without legal status or with limited immigration options, you may be able to apply for permanent residence on humanitarian and compassionate (H&C) grounds.
This pathway is designed for individuals who, even if they do not meet the regular immigration requirements, have established a life in Canada or would face exceptional hardship if required to return to their country of origin.
What Is an H&C Application?
It is a special request to the government to make an exception to the immigration rules due to unique circumstances.
There is no fixed list of requirements; each case is reviewed individually, considering all factors presented.
Factors That May Influence the Decision
– Length of time and degree of establishment in Canada.
– Best interests of any children involved.
– Personal or family hardship in the country of origin.
– Medical, social, or security risks.
– Community support and ties in Canada.
