Humanitarian & Compassionate Grounds (H&C)
This stream is a way for individuals who are not eligible to immigrate to Canada under other immigration programs to apply for permanent residency on humanitarian and compassionate grounds.
The legal test sets out specifically those applicants must clearly demonstrate that they would experience unusual and undeserved or disproportionate hardship if they were required to leave Canada.
The application will be assessed on the information the applicant provides and a decision will be made based on the applicant’s personal circumstances and whether these particular circumstances merit H&C consideration. Applications to become a permanent resident on H&C grounds are approved only in exceptional circumstances. It can take many years to process an application.
There is no guarantee that your application will be approved. If refused, in certain cases asking the Federal Court of Canada to review the decision is advisable. Many in-land H&C applications are based on a significant degree on economic and cultural establishment in Canada.

CIC offers a basic list of required supporting evidence, but this may not always be sufficient. Even minor requests, such as for visitor visas or stay extensions, can lead to rejection and negatively impact your credibility in the government system. Additionally, certain contact information for government services may not be publicly available. As such, it is essential to use a professional to gather and communicate necessary information on your behalf for a successful immigration process.
It is advisable to view your immigration process as an investment and exercise caution when proceeding independently. Immigration procedures can be complex and navigating them alone can lead to unintended consequences. Seeking professional guidance and representation can increase the likelihood of success and prevent potential setbacks.
Don't be penny wise and pound foolish when it comes to your immigration application. Attempting to handle the process alone, without the assistance of a consultant, can result in significant mistakes that can cause lengthy delays or even a permanent ban on entering Canada for up to five years. Seeking professional guidance can help you avoid such pitfalls and increase your chances of success in the immigration process.
